Bathroom Panic
Tap to sprint house-to-house looking for a working toilet while the Glizzler's stink meter rises — reach the john in time or get sprayed.
Tap to dash between houses in the suburb; each tap burns stamina and the stink meter creeps up; reach a working toilet (a mini-swipe puzzle) before it maxes.
Tap to dash to the next house; mini-swipe to find the toilet handle.

Panic-meter gross-out content has TikTok DNA, but the cited source trend 'One Bad Hot Dog' is a $1 CAD paid itch.io indie (not a viral mobile hit), undermining the 'why now' viral case.One Bad Hot Dog is a paid itch.io title, not a chart-topping mobile trend ↗
One-thumb dash + single mini-swipe puzzle is textbook hypercasual trivial-build scope, comparable to any tap-to-progress chase game.
