Instead, you place the Joy-Con into the center of a roll of toilet paper and roll it back and forth. Moving the real roll of toilet paper will cause the roll of paper within the game to move in the same way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u7d19\u304c\u306a\u3044\uff01\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bkv6PPUZdcA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Players are tasked with helping out a man who is in a bind after realizing that there is no toilet paper in the stall where he just did his business. The objective is to get him the paper he needs by rolling it to him. Getting the toilet paper from the ceiling down to the toilet itself may seem like a simple task, but for some peculiar reason, there are a variety of traps set up to stop you, like rotating blades, floor spikes, and lasers. There are even spike covered toilet rolls that you must face off against on the way to your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the openings on the platforms are locked and require you to collect a key all while avoiding the many traps that lie in wait. As the game is controlled by rolling the Joy-Con filled toilet paper around, it\u2019s very difficult to make quick maneuvers to get yourself out of trouble, and you will probably go through some trial and error before you really get a handle on how the game controls.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230302-239199-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The game\u2019s developer, Takahiro Miyazawa, has also made other games that use eccentric controllers.
