Absolutely no recommendation. Both the game itself as the gameplay design are too broken.
Gameplay
It's really bad and doesn't make any sense. A seemingly infinite amount of robots starts to chase you. You have two abilities: You poo, which places a poo block where you look (???). With the plunger you turn a poo block into a package (??????). The robot army becomes huge very quickly so unless you stack yourself up or don't immediately wall yourself in poo, you will die very easily. The goal is to place 200 poo blocks and then "package" those 200 poo blocks (??????). Oddly, it doesn't matter if you die, because your poo counter doesn't reset, so you will win eventually, even if you die like 100 times lol.
The robots are really fast and you have to be constantly on the run; if you stay for even one second, you will die. I found two winning strategies: Stacking yourself up (nerdpoling), or walling yourself, both of them bypass the robots completely and you can easily complete the goal without dying. That's another minus from me, that the game can be essentially be exploited that easily.
Story
Well, the story is essentially just an excuse plot. It's kindergarden-level humuor. I want to be clear this whole "poo" theme does NOT offend me, this doesn't give the game a penalty. My issue is the game just does a really poor job at it. I think it IS possible to do piss/poo humour right; South Park is a famous example.
The graphics look mostly like MS Paint drawings by an absolute beginner, especially in the story part. The blocks are simple but fine tho. The formspec / GUI has an awful choice of colors.
Music / sounds
The soundtrack is a bit cheezy, but OK. The sound effects are OK, but nothing too exciting. The robots don't make any sounds.
Controls
Good. The game uses standard Minetest controls so there are no surprises. It is a bit weird at first that you poo by the "place" key apparently but you get used to it instantly-
Stability / performance
The game is unstable. The game doesn't crash, but there are some "missing image" errors and numerous console warnings. The biggest problem is performance. Robots spawn at an alarming rate and eventually there are so many robots the game slows down to a crawl and Minetest reacts very slowly after placing blocks, up to a point where the game is almost unplayable and I have to restart.
Somehow your little joke game still did better than TWO submissions. :D
Occupy Moon got last place, probably because people didn't like it was basically just a Minetest Game + Technic ripoff (+ other old mods), which was missing the point of the game jam.
And there was also Making Space, basically a non-game which just generates cardboard boxes everywhere, that's it. It wasn't even ranked at all, this one is already deleted from ContentDB.
