The controls seemed unresponsive at times... but nice work! Polished.

nice game, but im not really sure how u get 4 players on one keyboard^^

Cool idea, I liked that I could fire really hot potatoes, but at the cost of taking longer. The sounds were subtle and effective. I wish the controls were a little more fluid for more twitchy multiplayer craziness. Good work :)

It pretty much a clusterf*** with four players on the same keyboard. If you have gamepads you can map to keys, it would help alleviate that issue. In my post Compo version I will eventually add full gamepad support

Cool idea. Multiplayer is always fun!

Great idea. Keys look a little bit unresponsive.

Good game, I really liked the sounds.

Controls were a bit slow for an action game. Otherwise good game!

Major spawn camping problem, especially with the ability to spam fire.

Good to see a multiplayer... Its slightly unresponsive, not sure whether need subtle change to keyboard handling. The "charge meter" doesn't seem to work for player one, works fine for player two. Good job Potato!

Reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_%28video_game%29 Liked the graphics and sound, not really liking the controls, but I'm not sure how you can avoid that on compo deadlines and still make it four player.

Thanks for all your input guys. I have a few ideas on making the controls more responsive and dealing with things such as spawn camping (Random Spawn Points or Spawn Protection), and better control placement.

Nice work! I suggest you might need more random spawn points. If player two gets killed near its own spawn, it re-spawns there and is vulnerable again.

Potatoes! Really inovative gameplay, too bad the windows was too large and didn't fit my screen!

Cool game. Casual and deep mechanic. Congratz!

Very polished! :) Keys are not unresponsive at all, all that is needed is a n-key rollover keyboard (which is any proper keyboard)

Cool, simple game. Fun! Just need more friends! :)

Extra marks for potato-related hi-jinx! Really fun to play - well done.
