History VideoGame / SPISPOPD

In September 2003, a complete overhaul of ''Dr. Lunatic'', titled ''Dr. Lunatic Supreme With Cheese'', was released. ''Supreme'' radically altered the user interface of ''Dr. Lunatic'', with its primary claims to fame being the over-1000 levels a standard install of it has, a ton of UnlockableContent and an extremely easy to use [[LevelEditor World Editor]] that allows players to create their own levels ([[YouHaveResearchedBreathing once they have unlocked it]]). Just like ''Dr. Lunatic'', ''Supreme'' received an UpdatedRerelease in May 2012. ''Supreme'' was released as a free game on October 13, 2017 on [[https://hamumu.itch.io/dr-lunatic-supreme-with-cheese itch.io]].

''SPISPOPD'' (or ''Smashing Pumpkins into Small Piles of Putrid Debris'') is an ActionAdventure PuzzleGame series developed and published by indie developer HamumuSoftware that started in 1993 with the game of the same name.

A direct sequel to ''SPISPOPD'', ''[[http://hamumu.com/game.php?game=DRL SPISPOPD II: Dr. Lunatic]]'', was released seven years later in May 2000, and was the first game in the series played from a ThreeQuartersView, TwoAndAHalfD perspective. Bouapha reprises his role as the player character, but this time, he has to deal with the game's eponymous character: a MadScientist who plans to take over the world by creating a ZombieApocalypse. Bouapha must WalkTheEarth and defeat Dr. Lunatic's poker buddies to obtain the four Keys of Lunacy that will allow him to open the front door of Dr. Lunatic's stronghold. Two {{expansion pack}}s were released for ''Dr. Lunatic'', the ''Expando-Pak'' and ''Fun Pack'', which primarily added more levels and monsters to the original game. ''Dr. Lunatic'' and its expansion packs were re-released in October 2011 as a single game, featuring slightly optimised code that improved the game's compatibility with the most modern operating systems.

* DeathCryEcho: The player character, of course, but many of the other monsters give off a unique sound when they are defeated. Boss monsters just [[MadeOfExplodium explode a lot]].

* DenserAndWackier / LighterAndSofter: The first game in the series was the bloodiest and goriest. Later games softened things up to make the series more kid-friendly (such as the removal of blood and an ArtEvolution to {{Garfield}}-inspired graphics), with ''Supreme'' being the least bloody, least gory, densest ''and'' wackiest game in the entire series.

* EncyclopediaExposita: In the [=SpisMall=] in ''Supreme'', there is a computer in Zoobity Zoo which displays every monster entry the player has seen using a Monster Scanner. This computer also includes additional entries on all monsters that the player can never hit using the Monster Scanner (such as Mine Carts, Rafts, Yerfdog, and the You-Go).

* RuleOfCool: ''Dr. Lunatic'' and ''Supreme'' live on this trope.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Most levels give the player at least one hammer to work with, but there are a handful of levels where the player does not have ''any'' hammers to work with for the entire duration of that level. [[spoiler:"Flashbacks"]], for example, gives the player only a limited supply of secondary weapons as a means to combat the monsters on that level.

* ThreeQuartersView: ''Dr. Lunatic'' and ''Supreme''.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The first game was created in response to a joke on the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' discussion boards before that game's release. A user claimed that the "next big thing" after ''Doom'' would be ''SPISPOPD''. Then someone wrote a fake FAQ for the game. Then, of course, Hamumu went and actually made the game, and the rest is history.

'''Shtupid Shroom''': ''"[[BigYes YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!]]"''

* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Roly-Poly on Him]]: "Telefragging" in ''Supreme'', which is done by having a non-ghost monster teleport to the same location as another non-ghost monster, instantly killing the latter.

* GameBreakingBug: One version of the first game was missing a teleporter in one of the final stages. Because of that, the only path onward lead to the only teleporter on a given level, which crashes the game via an infinite loop to find the destination.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: For most levels, but there are some very notable aversions, most of them giving the player ''no'' hammers to work with for the entire duration of that level. [[spoiler:"Flashbacks"]], for example, gives the player only a limited supply of secondary weapons as a means to combat the monsters on that level.

* ThreeQuartersView: ''Dr. Lunatic'' and ''Supreme''.

* ContinuityNod: Pumpkins and the ''Hammer Up!'' sound effect in ''Dr. Lunatic'' and ''Supreme'', as well as collectible candles in the latter, are all homages to the first game.

* TheAllSeeingAI: Averted only in ''Supreme'' on Stealth levels; they cannot see any enemy standing on tiles with a light setting below a specific value.
