An interesting take on the theme! I enjoyed the humor and atmosphere, "dank and dirty" definitely describes it. I think I know now what it feels like to peel potatoes professionally.

Weird but interesting! A pro potato peeling simulator is not a thing you see everyday! ;D

I think this might be the best professional potato peeler simulator on the market right now. Good job.

I like the idea of only getting one "tool" for the job, but I think it could have been expanded by allowing the user to select a tool, each with pros and cons.

It's more fun and easier than doing it in real life. The cut thing was a good idea. I like that you created it to look dirty. Simple, great.

Funny game ;) Now i want to eat potato

Simple but great game. Didnt know when I'd be able to win it, or if it's simply winnable. I enjoyed it, still.

Ha, I'm the worst peeler ever! Way to dangerous, I'll stick to frozen pizza ;)
Clicking to get a new potato seemed to be a bit buggy. Got a new one on ever 4th click or so :/ Funny idea though!

An on-screen timer would be nice, a beat-the-clock kind of game. Being able to peel your own hand when not holding a potato would have been cool, it would force the player to slow down and be careful, an expansion on your cut idea.

uhmm... wow.. I died because i was to slow? haha cool game...

Nice game! Very original premise. Nice graphics, good sounds. It seems like whatever peeler I pick, it is always the default. Oops. Haha, nice work!

Interesting game. I like the unusual idea, the audio and the humor, especially at the beginning. It would be nice to see how many potatoes are already peeled and a timer to know how much time is left. At the moment it's hard to know if I get better or not. Also you could count the days the player is successfully working as a professional potato peeler.

I think you nailed potato peeling! I think it's one of your best games so far! I agree with people saying it woulda been cool to be able to peel your hands when not holding a potato. The poor monotonous life of a potato peeler!

It really does feel like you're just sitting and peeling potatoes :/

strangely addictive. Good effort!
