couldent pass the first level

You're vertical displacement when jumping is slightly affected by your lateral momentum. With this in mind the first level is much easier. (a design choice we didn't have the time to second guess. We had other things to do this weekend. only spent a total of ~14 hours on this between the two of us(bout 8 each).)

Haha he has quite the jump. Can't go wrong with old school platforming :)

I liked it...simple, good controls and makes me feel bad for not having a potato in my game ;)

I played the 4 levels. It would need a goal. But nice to collect potatoes !

Short and sweet. I enjoyed the fact that you had to explore a bit, and the music was nice too. The jumping was bit too floaty for my taste, though. Overall it is a nice entry! Good job!

Is that the guy from all those Unity demos?

That was some pretty funky stuff right there. Was nice to play. Well done.

This game was pretty impressive. While nothing was innovative about the gameplay, the graphics and music felt refreshing. The grassy area reminded me of the first stages of Sonic. I enjoyed it while it lasted despite it lacking any challenge which is much cause I like chllenging games and find them more engaging. Well done!

Simple controls, fun little game, although the game seemed a little slow (maybe it's just me?), not dropping frames, just... slow.

I started this game and did the first two levels and though meh im going to leave because it felt repetitive. But the atmosphere you created in this game was really relaxing and soothing that it sucked me in and i though this was a really awesome game. The music and animation was just amazing. And the amount of levels was nice although at times the movement felt choppy but it was fine. Also i noticed a few random partly transparent pixels around the edge of the main characters animation

Lovely music!

Nice simple complete and solid platformer. And with potatos! What's important :) Good job!

It looks interesting, +potatoes.

Liked the music, but one major complaint:

This game reinforces the well known racist stereotype that irish farmers are lanky and sluggish to control. :P

YOU WIN! Yay! I really enjoyed this game, but I am a little biased towards collect-em-up type games. This game just shows that not every LD entry has to be a brain-melter to be good. The only improvement that I would suggest would be a map or arrow showing where the remaining potatoes are. It's sort of a pain to backtrack to the beginning to get a potato missed early in the level.
