Quite fun! I loved the wide variety of bomb types, they add a lot to the game.
If I could add one thing, it'd probably be some kind of indicator to show when my dash is refreshed. Most of my deaths were because I kept thinking that the dash was ready when it wasn't 😅
This was a good entry. Lots of interesting gameplay with juggling heading towards danger for more bombs, and just trying to keep a safe exit plan.
Nicely done!
The game is quite hard, but fun:)
Awesome i love this
Thank you!
Good fun! I ran out of bombs several times so that was rather frantic but it was an enjoyable game.
you can steal more bombs by dashing through the red hot potatoes. Thanks for playing!
This is amazing! the music is so tense and fitting XD i literally have fun here. The randomized bombs making the games much more interesting and variety. It was hard because of one hit death, i always died because of that exploding potato XD perhaps this is my own skill issue. Great job on the game!
ya, the AOE of the explosions is a bit unforgiving. Something is still definitely fix post jam. Thanks for playing!
This was a blast! I chuckled at the "RAW SPUD" death screen, had fun tossing bombs everywhere, and felt the challenge slowly ramp up as more potatoes spawned.
Great game, I'd honestly play it more if it was a little more refined after the jam.
thanks for the feedback. Ya, I'm already fixing some things about it and will release an update after the jam.
The randomised bomb weapons are so good! (especially the penguins hitting everything) I was very excited every time i got to try out a new one. The epic music really makes the potatoes feel grand. Lovely entry, hope you enjoyed the jam!
Thank you so much. Ya, I got silly with this one. Glad you enjoyed it!
Potatoes
Some dumb potato off screen exploded me! It's a lot of fun, good job!
oh, no! Potato is a menace...
I love the feel and the epic music 😜
One thing that I would like to have is a little indicator showing when your dash is on cooldown so I don't run into them like an idiot when I cant dash yet
Nice job 😊
Also, how did you make the screenshots on your itch page pop out when you mouse over them? I really like that and I cant figure out how to do it.
Thanks for playing! I originally planned to add a dash cooldown indicator, but I got sidetracked trying to implement a leaderboard. I ended up scrapping it because I couldn't get it working right. Then, with only two hours left in the jam, my entire UI randomly vanished—so I had to spend the rest of the time fixing that instead.
For the effect on the itch page - you have to request custom CSS access. Once you are approved add this code to the Custom CSS box under edit theme on your game page:
.screenshot {
background-color: #050505;
border: 6px #7986A7 solid;
border-radius: 5%;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
transition: all 200ms ease-in;
transform: scale(1);
}
.screenshot:hover{
box-shadow: 0px 0px 100px 5px #2E4774;
z-index: 2;
transition: all 200 ease-in;
transform: scale(1.04) rotate(-1deg);
}
Damn, ill have to get onto messaging them then, thanks :)
Art/animation are really nice. Its a vampire survives so not too unique but I had fun! The blast radius from the steaming potatoes was a little unforgiving and felt like the hurtbox for that was too big
Thanks for playing!
The gameplay is really good !
Thank you!
