Great graphics and level design! POTATO4LIYF
Love the art style, a bit hard, though.
Found your game from the Stencyl forums! I love the potato graphics. They're so adorable.
Nice work! Hard as hell though. Perhaps the carrots could have shot little less frequently. The boss battle was epic though and made up for it. I liked the sounds and music.
and dat ending.
Potatos are awesome - so is this game.
well done, I dig the graphical style of it
Great art! A little hard, but good job!
Nice graphics, really hard though. A rapid fire option would have been nice, or the enemy bullets could have been a bit slower. Shoulda coulda woulda. :) The boss fight was well designed, one of the best bosses I've fought in a while. And the bit with the moving platforms was a very well designed level.
nice!
Very cool game
if only he was shooting a potato gun...
great game.
good fun, good art, good stuff!
Really really nice pixel art. Very hard game though. I didn't finish it I'm afraid.
Love this, I get a very mega man kind of feel from it, really fun, hard and unforgiving, just my type of game :)
Lovely art, nice to play! I feel that the potato baddies shoot slightly too frequently, I think it makes it harder than it possibly needs to be as it seems the only way to kill them is to time your jumps with extreme precision? Love that the lil' ground runner dudes have inertia when changing direction.
Tasty pixels and nice fitting music. After playing this game I can say I now have more chance of beating a carrot in a shoot-off.
Great stuff! Lovely palette and tight gameplay. A solid game.
Really nice, minimalistic platformer.
Sounds, music and art really go well together.
Very well put together! My only complaint is that it's too damned hard!
Gah! So tough XD Gameplay was spot on retro, though it seemed to lag a bit (possibly because I have a gazillion tabs open right now). Level design was simple but challenging, and the graphics were very crisp and distinctive.
Great game.
Awesome graphics, well-designed levels and a really polished entry. Bravo!
A lot of fun, but too hard
Good stuff, but the gun fights are a bit annoying.
Great graphics, just hard to shoot enemies tho.
Awesome, very smooth and polished!
I thought it played well, and I really liked the charging enemies and the boss potato. The timing for fighting the gunner carrots took some getting used to, but mostly I was allowed to jump and shoot them from safety so it wasn't unfair.
It's a solid game, though aside from the ending I'm not feeling the theme much!
cool game and sweet graphics. enjoyed playing it.
Performance was a bit off, I kept getting frame locks. Otherwise not bad.
Kinda laggy for me =/
Kinda laggy for me =/ But still a realy god game!
Graphics and audio were hot. I really wanted to play more of this, but got frustrated with the combat. It's too hard/tedious to avoid enemy shots and the checkpoints are far enough apart to make me stop. Super slick entry though and again the art is fantastic.
Standard platform with really great art. Just not really into theme.
Great platformer! Very challenging, too. The animations are hilarious!
Classic one :) It's a little too hard / too precise though.
Arghhh they keep shooting me! :C Appealing art style.
Really like the graphics, the potato is so lovable
It's very difficult though. It took me three tries to kill the first enemy :P
NEAT!!
Really cute art style. :)
Fun and well made. My x-pressing finger wasn't very fond of the boss fight, but the button mashing does work well with the retro appeal. Can't really see how it's in theme though - having pixelated graphics does hardly count.
Lovely! Though quite hard
Great game! But very hard, I couldn't beat the boss level.
Would be nice to be able to choose other keys.
Really fun game. I didn't think it was too hard, the difficulty was perfect. I liked how killing the enemies relied on careful timing, instead of just mashing the shoot button.
Pretty difficult game. The enemies shoot-interval is pretty short which makes it hard to jump inbetween and shoot at the same time, let alone hitting them. Nothing wrong with difficulty really, but you need your time to get accustomed to the rhythm of the game.
Sweet entry anyways :)
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! I released a post-competition version of the game that features an easier difficulty mode and another control setup among other improvements. Just make sure you don't rate the Ludum Dare entry based on that.
great graphics and solid retro style gameplay
Nice graphics and background music. I played it with my gamepad, that felt way better (Y and Z are swapped on german and other country's keyboard layouts). The game is really too difficult. Every level should be full of checkpoints. I think, Ludum Dare entries should have something like an emergency button to get invulnerable or to skip the level. Additional, the enemies shoot too fast.
After I made my rating and my comment, I played your post-compo and... yeah. Exactly what was missing :D
The controls were very hard to get used to, I suggest making up jump. It would make it feel more natural.
Wanna play it somewhere on console :)
Very cute graphics!
Nice game and solid mechanics.
Very cool graphics.
But very hard. I used more than 10 lives to finish the first level! It's very difficult to target the carrots correctly.

Jump jump, shoot shoot, dodge dodge, die. I suck at platformers, especially when the enemies have as many hitpoints as I do.
great game -- very hard
Simple, funny, so potatly !
Nice game, but I kept getting stuck in a block before the second monster (the first block on a pillar).
