THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ENTRY. I love the art style and the gameplay. Such lovely pixel art. Well done!

Great game and hilarious concept! I found this one hard personally, but I think the progression of the difficult is well design. I think having the throw button "F" next to the right move button  "D" made it a little difficult for me to move quickly and throw the tater at the right time. I really love the pixel art style and the music! The sound effects and transitions worked really nicely together!

Hot potato is a cool interpretation of the theme. I haven't really seen many games where "be in a favorable state when the timer reaches zero" is the main win condition. My main concern is that waiting until the timer almost reaches zero followed by passing the potato is a foolproof strategy, although that is partially alleviated by the speedrun timer. I believe that additional enemy types with their own strategies could take this game to the next level.

For instance, while I don't know whether it would actually make for good gameplay, if the player had to hold the potato for at least 1 second, but they couldn't hold it for more than 4 seconds, and enemies had a similar rule, it would start to get some puzzle dynamics, where you have to figure out when to pass it so that the enemy can't get an advantage.

This is one of the best games from this game jam. It's so polished and finished! It just has everything! The theme is executed perfectly, it looks amazing, and the sound doesn't get on my nerves right away. Wonderful! It really makes me jealous!

Love the art style of this game! It does feel a little basic and repetitive, but it's pretty impressive for a jam game.

The idea of playing hot potato in this jam feels so natural! The artwork is fantastic as well. The RNG of where the potato would fall was a bit frustrating, it made it so sometimes it was almost impossible to catch the potato. Aside for that, great game!

The artwork is very nice! Also loved the concept <3 

There were some times where you totally depended on the launch position rng to complete the level since if they throw it far from any demon multiple times, you don't get enough time to complete the level, even if you go straight to the closest one.

Other than that, it was a very fun and very polished game!

The artwork is so sick !! and the animation too! :) I rlly like the style of the game and it runs so smooth :)

oh y’all cooked :) this is awesome!

That was awesome! The artwork and animations are so good. Love the way smoke comes out of an imps mouth after an explosion. The actual game loop is very simple, but it is so full of juice and feedback that it doesn't matter.

Incredibly impressive work for such a short jam.

The art is really the cherry on top, and the game itself is so polished! Amazing work!

this game was very cool and I like the idea and can see this game become something more. but I want to complain about 2 things in this game

  • the timer hides too much. sometime I didn't know where the where the hot potato will land,
  • and also I died because the timer ran out even tho I did everything with out wasting any time, only the enemy took too long to spit it out so I had no more time to run and give it to him again

beside those little complains I still had fun and I say it again but this was very cool. good job

This game has one of the best visuals in this whole entire jam, super simple and charming. I first thought the furniture was just there for flair, but I soon found out that they serve as an obstacle for movement, it's a fun and creative way to integrate obstacles.

Simple but fun :)

Stellar work on sprites and animations, really pretty stuff!
