How does you game fit the theme?
This is a game about a potato with a gun. It is probably the only game in this jam where you are a potato with a gun.

Its also a game about not having motivation and creative block and about how people creating works of art feel inadequate and unable to continue working on their work because they are unhappy of their work and life and themselves and their situations and how everything in the world seems to fall away from their hands so quickly like seriously, how on earth is this world going away so fast it feels like nothing is even worth exploring anymore because by the time you get used to it its already old news like what

its also a game about a potato with a gun

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code for the Character Platformer is from Tarodev's Ultimate Platformer video

Most of the assets are by Kenney

The levels, dialogue, animations (if u can call them that), etc etc were made by me.

Ah yes, the natural predator of the potato, the brick. 10/10 would play again.

A fun little game! Loved the funny dialog at the end, the movement was nice and quick, great job!

I’d appriciarte it if you could check out ours too!

Submitted (1 edit)

This game was amazing. The platforming was fun and very fast paced. I kinda wished the world was a little bigger because the exploring was pretty fun. The ending genuinely made me laugh :D Love me some meta commentary and AI generated artwork lmao.

Honestly my favorite game so far!

Submitted

Dude this has to be one of my favorite of this whole game jam. Especially because of the art style. I love pixel art. I also used pixel art for my game but I think you did a way better job on the sprites. I liked the ending dialogue with the brick. A potato talking to a brick lol.

If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

I'm glad I went through to the end to dialog with the brick. And I totally get the block idead to, nice work. Perfect introduction, it's really clear that you play as a potato with a gun.

Submitted

the potato with a gun (the potato with a gun) is a game where there is a potato with a gun and it is the result of the potato with a gun committing crimes that only a potato with a gun would do.

a lot of the game feels solid and the  potato with a gun's enemy the cement brick with a gun is absolute perfect antagonist and the boss BIG LARGE SUBSTANTIAL OF CONSIDERABLE SIZE cement "blockhead" brick was beautiful.

the name, story, characters, all feels like a meme submission ands that alright.

the controls and camera are great, collision however sends bullets and you through each and every parallel world out of sheer spite, and the enemies are bit "ill defeat you with clones of myself", and i wish there would have been a very cobbled together boss containing CPU destroying amounts of cement bricks because... ...idk.

over all a "potato with a gun/10"

Submitted

not easy, but really fun

Submitted

F** you, creative block!!!!!!!!

Now... What were those weird pictures in the credits?

Submitted

fun little game! really like the speed of it. also cant go wrong with potatoes and guns :)

Submitted

Interesting idea. I do kind of wish the bricks would have a break between shots but that could just be me being bad at the game. Audio would have been nice too.

Submitted

very nice, but why do bricks shoot bricks lol. the fast potato was very enjoyable. I wish there was audio, overall good job!

Submitted

get them interested with potato with a gun and then hit them with the 180 of brick with a gun. much fun.

Submitted

this is literally the best game ive ever played in my life

Submitted

Fun little game here movement a little to fast but i like the comedic aspect of a potato with a gun and tyhe nice relaxed simple gameplay. music would also be nice for future

Submitted

I liked the enemies!

Submitted

There is humor here. Nice!

Submitted

The platforming felt far slippery and over-sensitive for my liking. And whilst the game was funny, it doesn't have anything to do with the theme. Despite I think that this game could become a fun, quality steam meme game if given a lot more time and attention than can reasonably be expected in a week.

Submitted

The platforming is fast and tight, and I really enjoyed the meta comedy. When the potato called the brick a basic bitch I laughed out loud. Some sound effects would definitely help with making bullets (both personal and enemy) more clear, and the design of each room made it a bit confusing to figure out where to go next.

Submitted

The potato unfortunately gets stuck on the first platform :(

Developer

Yes, I Know :( , You can press R to reset the character when it happens

It never happened in the editor and only happens in the exported build, and i was running out of time so i just put in a bandaid solution lol

Submitted

Shame, no worries. My game had stereo sound in the editor but it went mono on the export and I too ran out of time. I know the feeling :D
