How does your game fit the theme?
You are a potato that runs hot, to keep your fire burning you need to kill dummies, that give you more time to reach a higher score

Loved the player’s animations! The game idea was fun. Reminded me to jetpack joyride. Nice job! You should definetely expand this idea into a full game after the jam
Thank you for your feedback! I already got some people give me ideas on what I should expend on, maybe make it into a small mobile game or something later on! Thanks again for playing and enjoying it!
Fun game
And now I want fried potatoes!
I read it as "I want a friend potatoes" and I was already thinking of making plushies of it :D thank you for playing and enjoying the game, and now go get your fried potatoes!
Fun game with great art. Great job
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game. I think that maybe you should have made the gravity more floaty so that you were flying up and down a bit more since a lot of the time you have to spend running on the ground, that's something I remember jetpack joyride did. I was a bit confused on what would actually refill the heat. Good job overall though.
I think jetpack joyrride also made it so you have inifite flying time so you could be flying and never hitting the floor, so I guess that was the difference as well. But yeah I could try to play with the gravity! Yeah I think I should have worked on the description a bit better :D. Thank you for the feedback and playing the game!
Very fun game!
Thank you for playing!
Fun take on the jetpack joyride type game, music added a nice geometry dash vibe, sfx were satisfying, would love to know more about the storyline of the game
Maybe I should add more biomes and story to the flaming potat :D I took heavy inspiration from the jetpack joyride game, so I'm glad someone saw that! Thank you for playing and enjoying the game!
really fun endless runner with nice visuals!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing
that was fun to incorporate ways to replenish while on the run. good work with the aesthetic, it felt really cohesive! If it's not too much trouble I would appreciate a review of mine here: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4823917
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game!
I loved your game! The gameplay is smooth and it's genuinely fun to play. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you playing and I'm glad you loved my game!
God damn, that's dedication. Glad you enjoyed the game!
This was fun, i like the risk reward of getting more hp from the scarecrows
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Your light being your health bar is very cool, thematically it works very well too! Only small gripe I have is I think the moving electro bars could move a bit slower because it's very hard to react to.
Yeah if I had more time I think I would have made a better pattern with the beams, at the end I was trying to make it so you have to jump either above or stay below it when it's moving, but since I was traveling I didn't have much time to implement so I just made it fast and randomized.. Thank you for playing and your feedback!
A really cool game! Controlling the little character is a lot of fun.
Thank you for playing!
I finally surpassed your nephew's score with a strategy of repeatedly tapping the key to stay airborne! Cooool gameplay and effects. I really enjoyed your game!
Now you gotta try and beat my friends score, I'm lacking so much skill at my own game I can't get more than 3k :D Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed the game!
OMG that score is insane 😮
It's a really cool game ^^
Thank you for playing!
Fun mashup of a lot of arcade-y elements, and the theme really brings them all together!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
I loved the delicate controls of the potat, it felt satisfying and polished! It was not immediately obvious what the obstacles did though, some things are on fire but still cool off the potat. Nice submission, congrats!
Yeah I guess already rereading my description it doesn't make sense on what should be attacked specially that the dummies don't stand out as much as the fire pits. Thank you for the feedback and thanks for playing!
Very clean presentation! Great UI, good sounds and very nice detail with the burning target dummies 🔥
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it
I loved the art, very good. the music is too! I feel like I need a tutorial to find out how to make the potato stay longer, and if endless is even a possibility
Thank you for playing! I feel that the tutorial is just you playing and trying to figure out things yourself, but yeah I could have added more stuff in, and yes it is a possibility to be endless, a friend got around 7k but died because of a skill issue.
Nice submission! Feels very polished. Graphics are cute. I'd recommend adding a "controls" section in the description because it took me a while to figure out that I was supposed to kill the wooden dummies by hitting them with my flame. I thought I was gonna be shooting a projectile behind me based on the description. Also your nephew must be a capital G gamer because I couldn't top his score haha.
Thank you for playing! Yeah I think I could have worked a bit more on the explanation part of the game, thank you for the feedback!
