The real objective is feeding the potato monster as many potatoes as you can.
*loved it* but too short! :)
i won in 9 steps. fought the potato monster several times.. thought i might win against it eventually :)
Text-based is nicely minimalistic
No! Damn! The potato monster is very strong!, although is logic, is a potato.
Nice text-based game :)!
I see. Yes, this game is well titled.
Quite amusing. First I won in 5 steps... and then I played and played trying to beat that stupid monster. You've manipulated my emotions!
i win in 5 steps. IM THE MASTER
Best review ever "This game is well titled." - MikeyPB
When I clicked the "Web" link for this entry, so eloquently titled "THE POTATO GAME," I wondered what I would see on the other side. Perhaps a game about potatoes, or one containing potatoes. If I was lucky, perhaps it would be about potato recipes.
Nay--when the page loaded, I found myself face to face with an exploration of the age-old question "What does it mean to win?" Each of us holds within a different expectation as to the frui--excuse me: the potatoes of labor. Is it enough to obtain only the net sum of your inputs? Or do you strive for something greater? To accomplish something unexpected that grants you more than you could ever have hoped for? This game has triggered in me, and I'm sure many others, a reevaluation of what it is I really wish to achieve.
Thank you, BleuLlama, for this thought-provoking entry. I will keep it in my heart forever.
Cute text adventure :) Would be great to see more gameplay elements so that games last more than two seconds :P Also now I want potato
To fight or not to fight, are my potatoes worth it?
I'm left to ponder in the green glow of serenity.
This game made me feel like the potato king
Full marks for theme! High five!
Funny little game :D - I will now try to speedrun :P
Step 267: The potato monster is still strong. I wonder if this will be my end. I made some potato soup today. It was delicious.
Really minimalistic !!
I won in 253 turns.
I love how state is entirely encoded in the URL.
haha text adventure. wooo! Liked the potatoe monster. I can't ever seem to beat him though. i still won in the end. xD
Perfect run on my first try, can you imagine?
