Drop of Shame (Cartoon Network game)

Drop of Shame is a Total Drama World Tour game, produced by Cartoon Network. The game was first released on June 14th, 2010.

Gameplay
The player controls their character (either Sierra or Ezekiel) using the arrow keys on the keyboard to evade or grab onto objects. The "heavy objects" are the objects that the player is supposed to avoid, and consist of a piano, an anvil, and a bowling ball. These objects speed the player's descent. The "light objects" are the objects the player should grab onto and they are a black umbrella, a pack of balloons tied together, and a single green balloon. These objects help slow down the player's descent, increasing their score.

Heavy objects fall from the top of the screen while light objects rise from the bottom of the screen. The bunch of balloons sometimes drifts across the screen. Catching these raises the player up a short distance, increasing their fall time even more and adding to the score. However, they all burst a few seconds after being grabbed.

Playable Characters

 * Ezekiel
 * Sierra

Ezekiel's Stage
Ezekiel's level is based on the events of Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, when Chris gets annoyed with him and proceeds to throw him out of the plane. The player then begins to control the screaming Ezekiel, making him grab onto the light objects. If the player fails to do so, they'll have a high chance of getting hit by a heavy object, which will bring their speedometer down. The more it goes down, the less chance the player has of winning the game. During the player's fall, squirrels, chipmunks, pandas, or other Total Drama contestants might fall down behind the player in the background. The player may also see Chef in a hot air balloon flying behind them. If the player lands safely, they will fall into a forest and be cheered on by animals, such as a bear, Sasquatchanakwa, a panda, a squirrel, a monkey, the baby seal, and the goat. However, if the player fails to land safely, they will land in a dirty dumpster. Two anvils will then fall on their back and legs, respectively.

Sierra's Stage
Sierra and Chris are standing in the elimination area, and the former gleefully runs and jumps right out the door, failing to first take the parachute that Chris is holding in his hands. Once again, the player needs to make Sierra evade the heavy objects, and grab onto the light objects. During the fall, squirrels, chipmunks, pandas, or other Total Drama contestants appear in the background. If the player fails to complete the game properly, Sierra will fall into the dumpster and two anvils will land on her back and legs as well. However, if the player completes the game properly, she will land safely on her feet and cheer in excitement.

Trivia

 * The panda, goat, seal, and monkey that appear in Total Pandamonium also appear in this game.
 * The contestants that can be seen falling in the background are Cody, Gwen, Leshawna, Owen, and Tyler.
 * When Gwen, Tyler, and Owen are falling in the background, they have the same poses that they have during Before We Die.
 * Chef Hatchet can be seen flying a hot air balloon in the background.
 * When the player loses and falls into the garbage, the following objects are seen in the pile:
 * A grenade
 * A paintball gun
 * A wine bottle and glass
 * A beach ball
 * A piece of wood
 * A bowling ball
 * Other random objects
 * The pose Ezekiel is in when he lands in the dumpster is the same one he has when he plummets to the ground at the end of the Total Drama World Tour opening sequence.
 * The animation of Sierra jumping is taken from Picnic at Hanging Dork when she is jumping off the cliff in the second part of the challenge, while the pose displays when she wins is from Niagara Brawls, when she demands to kiss Cody.
 * Although Sierra is featured in the game, she never actually takes the Drop of Shame, as she was eliminated when she blew up the Total Drama Jumbo Jet in Awwwwww, Drumheller.
 * The animals clapping for Ezekiel could possibly foreshadow his future animal-like self in Total Drama World Tour.
 * This is the fourth game to become an application on iTunes.
 * Oddly, the application for the game is called "Drop 'o' Shame."

Goofs

 * When Ezekiel is thrown out of the plane at the beginning of his level, and when the player wins the game as him, the little ball on top of his toque is missing.
 * In the Cartoon Network commercial for the game, Ezekiel can be heard screaming while he is falling in the demonstration, with his screams stopping whenever he grabs onto a "light" object. However, in the actual game, there is no screaming, or any sounds at all, heard from either Ezekiel or Sierra throughout the entire game.
 * It is physically impossible for Ezekiel's hood to stay on his back while he falls from the sky.
 * Although Lindsay is the character displayed on the game's home page, she is not one of the playable characters in the game.
