SPISPOPD (an abbreviation for Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris) was Jamul's first game, started in 1993. It was an extremely primitive 2D action game, created in response to a joke related to Doom. Dr. Lunatic is the official sequel. Amazin' SPISPOPD and the The Adventures of Bouapha series were based on it (and indirectly the Loonyland series, as it was based on Dr. Lunatic).
In SPISPOPD the player controlled Bouapha, the Gourdslayer, who is also the protagonist of the games directly based on SPISPOPD. To escape being carved up for halloween, pumpkins had stolen all the worlds candles and taken them to the planet Pumpkinia. The gameplay consisted of collecting hammer powerups while battling various pumpkin monsters and collecting candles. By collecting all the candles on a level Bouapha could board his rocketship and begin the next level.
The levels were organized into various themed sets, each with its own custom graphical tiles, and a custom look for baby pumpkins (the most common and weakest form of enemy). The included areas were Intro Land (Intro), Intro2, Sandy Desert World (Desert), Desert2, Funky Weirdville (Funky), Future World (Future), Ice Caverns (Ice), Old Ultima (Oldultma) (which had Ultima style graphics) and the final world, H***. The game also featured an editor, called SPISEdit, allowing players to create their own levels.
