There is a chance that you can't really win if two potatoes bounce in different directions
The difficulty ramps up quick with multiple potatoes! I'm still trying to make it past level 3... it's easy enough until the potatoes collide, then it's chaos.
My team also made a hot potato themed game! Glad to see this interpretation of the theme getting the love it deserves :smile:
A youtuber made a video on my submission! Go check him out!
The graphic style is quite nice, and the controls feel responsive, however that it was a bit hard for my taste.
Overall gg for your work !
you have to download both files to get it to work.

yes i probably should upload a zip file, thanks for the input. Potatoes are very cool, and i can safely say are the most versatile food.
@devook
thanks for the input! I tried to limit the amount the potatoes could move on the x axis and increase the amount on the y axis to increase reaction time and make it more balanced. I definitely will not have italics in my next game, so thanks for the tip. Also, as far as sounds go, I have never used sound in a game, and although wanted some background music, didn't have time to implement any. This is actually my first game jam, and only 4th month of game dev, so thanks for the advice!
It was fun balancing my favourite food around, though I would have liked a bit more variation in the gameplay. Still great submission, keep at it!
The graphics are pretty sharp and there are some really funny animations!
The potatoes' trajectories would deserve some tweaks in order to make the game even more fun, but congrats overall!
