Nintendo Switch Game Is Played With A Roll Of Toilet Paper As Your Controller

Let the fun and crappy times roll.

In this new Nintendo Switch game, you roll a roll to reach your goal. No Paper!, as it is called, starts with stuffing your Joy-Con controller into toilet paper, which not only makes the household necessity interactive but also creates a level of challenge for the chaotic platformer.

The arguable main character of the game is an antsy man who enters a cubicle and discovers a little too late that there’s no toilet paper. And not to flush your ego down the loo, but you play that hunk of TP who will have to reach the man in one piece.

“You are the regular toilet paper in every house,” writes No Paper!’s publisher Takuhiro Miyazawa, not mincing its words for the consideration of gamers with bloated self-importance. “But you can roll around at will. And now there is a man who is in trouble because he has no toilet paper!”

“You start from the ceiling of the bathroom and work your way up to the man. However, various traps await along the way!” reads the description.

You will need the aforementioned toilet roll, which translates into a virtual cylinder-shaped avatar on the screen. We don’t recommend using emptied-out tubes for this, since the paper offers layers of protection for the delicate controller and cushions it in the event of a fall. We also don’t recommend wrapping your emptied-out tubes with used toilet paper. 

You will also need a piece of cardboard to tilt the object around, along with the ¥600 (US$4.47) game.

The objective is to help this desperate character emerge triumphantly from his ceramic throne. Can you wipe all levels? We’ll see.

Unfortunately, No Paper! is currently only available in Japan. Constipated players in other parts of the world might have to let it go.
