ariake81 2013-04-29 15:36

love the voices! i can imagine this being made by sega and played at some dirty seaside town arcades when the dancemat games were all the rage.

techmonkey 2013-04-29 15:40

Ahahaha nice

tiffi 2013-04-29 15:53

tcstyle 2013-04-29 17:55

GET THE POTATO!!
And I cannot reach it in time :(.
Nice idea, well executed.

edocentrique 2013-04-29 17:56

Really nice job for the fun and the audio part !

invaderjim 2013-04-29 18:00

All potatoes can be reached. Don't give up! ;D

shigor 2013-04-29 18:01

I hadn't find a way to get to potato behind the glass cube or whatever it is :/

invaderjim 2013-04-29 18:24

It can be done. You just have to forget everything you know about everything then proceed to GET THE POTATOOOO

gilmore606 2013-04-29 19:07

HOW HARD IS IT, IT'S RIGHT THERE.

senordiablo 2013-04-29 19:08

haha yes potato!

liamlime 2013-04-29 19:10

Oh my god, this is... incredible!

mnemusyne 2013-04-29 19:11

Quite funny.

ivan_ 2013-04-29 19:11

First game I rated most of the elements 5 stars yet :)

nickardson 2013-04-29 19:29

I got the potatoes!
But I never saw that ending coming!

cosinep 2013-04-29 19:34

GLaDoS can get the potato.

hubert 2013-04-29 22:11

Gave me some good laughs. If you want to expand on this you could always.. get the potatoooooo!

heychinaski 2013-04-29 23:06

Wow. Incredibly fun and really, really nice all around. Hilarious too! Loved it. Great job.

inf 2013-04-29 23:49

GET POTATO +1
well played.

inf 2013-04-30 03:13

Curious how you linked the lights up with the audio ?

stiju 2013-04-30 09:37

The ending was epic, didn't expect that.

mushbuh 2013-04-30 17:22

Oh you better believe I got that potato

badlydrawnrod 2013-04-30 18:21

The audio and humour are fantastic. "Get the potato" is going to be in my head all day tomorrow.

jellycakes 2013-05-01 03:26

Top of the class video game. Make more!

icecliff 2013-05-01 14:39

This was amazing! The potato was just a plus to the humor and gameplay!

shawn42 2013-05-01 17:33

Hilarious! Had a lot of fun playing this.. and lost track of time. That's a good sign for your game, and bad for my lunch break! >.<

degtyarev 2013-05-02 10:55

Awesome. Just awesome.

alucard-j 2013-05-02 22:18

Oh wow! My first thought was Professor Genki with the arena type announcer. I could hear there was alot of effort put into the win audio after each level, but it cut off too quickly. I think the audio is the stand out part, though the puzzles do make you think. Was stuck in my head all day (Right now, what you have to do is ....) . Well Done =]

graytest 2013-05-03 21:19

Fun game! :) Like the voice over. I didn't figure out how to get past the glass. Some instructions for the controls would have been nice.

cwilloughby 2013-05-04 07:27

Hilarious. Love the voices. Got stuck on the third level. Great work!

lafolie 2013-05-04 13:13

Jokes. The voice overs rock.

xaychru04 2013-05-04 15:03

This game is soooo funny, I love the sounds effects :D

xgor 2013-05-04 18:01

Oh god do I love the humor in this, Not that minimalistic but damn gettin' potato's have never been this fun.

prelucid 2013-05-05 01:17

Hahahah BEAUTIFUL! Highest rated game today?

daniel2357 2013-05-05 09:14

Get the Potato!!!!. Awesome game - very hard though. I'll try to finish it .

galman 2013-05-05 09:16

POTATO!!! MY BRAIN IS FULL OF POTATOES!!!
Amazing game :D

ovenchips 2013-05-05 10:07

Funniest entry I have played by a mile. Quite fiendish in places too - very proud to have made it to one of the later levels. Would love it if you wrote some kind of blog entry about audio production in the game (what HW/SW did you use to get such great quality video-gamey sounding voice-overs). LOVE! IT!

euwaku 2013-05-05 21:22

Damn Potato!

larb 2013-05-05 22:00

Hilarious. Like the idea. Got stuck on fifth level though with the glass. I tried beating my keyboard.

mrshoestore 2013-05-06 02:22

this proves potato theme the best theme

invaderjim 2013-05-06 03:18

I am truly humbled by all of the kind things being said about this game. Although I don't think you all realize that you're saying these things about a game that involves getting a potato.

A postato-mortem is coming in which I'll go over all the audio goodies as far as recording and syncing with the light, so keep your eyes.. peeled!

As for those that are struggling with the first few levels, I REALLY want to help you out, you have no idea, but if I do I will violate the integrity of the game, as minimal instruction is partly how I interpreted the theme. Maybe I will put spoilers in the postato-mortem, I dunno... Thanks for playing the game, at any rate :D

I love you all! L-D-4-8-4-LYFE

rujomarco 2013-05-06 15:09

voted 5 stars on the potato scale

patrickward 2013-05-06 19:48

Fun, humorous game. Game play was great, especially having to discover some of the key combinations. And the audio was off the charts! I never could get past the glass box though. Well done.

gatechgrad 2013-05-07 03:35

Impressive how the lights are sync'ed with the audio. Count me as another who got suck on the purple glass box. I tried pressing keys but no luck. I should have tried smashing the keyboard, but this is my last good one left and it's too late to go out and buy a new one. ;D

minionstudios 2013-05-07 22:32

AWESOME.

mildmojo 2013-05-08 05:57

It took a long time to figure out how to get past the potato behind glass. Then I remembered I had a mouse.

I never did get past the potato behind glass under the two panes of purple glass.

Nice work on the audio and the premise.

kill0u 2013-05-08 13:02

Cool game, got stuck after a while though :3

hayawi 2013-05-08 20:18

At first I thought that the ending was going to be like an ode to portal, where you throw the potato in lava or something. But this ending was so much more awesome! Good Job!!!

atraxgames 2013-05-08 20:24

Hilarious, i loved the voice GET THE POTATOOOO!

martin_monosys 2013-05-08 20:48

That's cool, but I was quite shocked as your first level looked a lot like my first level... :) So ok, your game is more funky, but mine is darker, and I don't have a potatoe...

cogentinvalid 2013-05-09 02:55

Wow. I was the potato the entire time? That's deep.

bobiniki 2013-05-09 09:59

I laughed a lot on this game. I couldn't beat the level with the wall.

maple 2013-05-09 13:10

Oh man, this is so good. I managed to get through to the end. The hardest level was the 3rd one or something where it was just out of reach and you needed to run to it. I tried everything from running backwards, sideways, and diagonally (Goldeneye/Perfect Dark 64 speedruns anyone?) before realising that I needed to just press shift to run, lol.

It felt like I was on a game show of some sort. The audio and all was handled very nicely, and good job on those vocals!

Jeremias 2013-05-10 17:27

[SPOILER]
I didn't get it with the purple boxes because I solved the level where you introduce them without the "trick". I then read it in the post mortem. Couldn't see all the levels because on of the later one is too hard for me (you must make a little jump to reach a platform below you, then turn around and pass through a purple wall and a purple floor.

codexus 2013-05-15 20:38

Great humor!

threef 2013-05-16 15:44

Well... You have great music there, but... you playing it every 5 sec, and it's not good. :/
