Good job! The art and gameplay with the "rotato" felt really good and I was really immersed!

it’s a good and fun game a bit short.

Fun game a little too difficult for me to be honest but clever use of the theme. Well done

Okey, this game is straight up hilarious. I loved playing as a little potato and just causing utter mayhem everywhere I went. It's not super polished, and shit just goes everywhere, but that's the beauty of it! The art was super cool, some parts really reminded me of the portal games, and the last cutscene was super motivational 10/10 storytelling. One thing I'd love to see is collision sounds, because I'd love to hear the wreckage I'm creating! Good job on this entry!

Really cool platformer and sound effect!! this game is very challenging .If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a nice game to this jam and I hope you learned a lot of new stuff. When you have time, please check out my game :D

This was a really fun game. Trying to aim the spuds back into the spud cannons was really hard. If I were to improve it I'd probably make aiming the items a little easier, although I understand that's what puts it in the theme of "Out of Control". Good job!

Interesting idea! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Nice concept! Found it a little difficult to aim the spuds and things, but the character design and presenttion was all unique and aside from aiming the control is really smooth.

Wow, cute potato! Nice concept!

Took me a bit longer than it should have to figure out what to do but once i did i had no problems. I had to take hints on the spud level from the comments though. Great game!

Had a little difficulty to aim, and that spud level was quite frustrating in a good way. Great game.

I am a big fan of anything potato themed. It was pretty fun to play! The only things that frustrated me were getting one-shotted by the cannons, and the rotation animation not being super clear which direction it was spinning. Otherwise great idea, and well done! Also loved the ending :)

SO SATISFYING!!!

Neat concept, almost a reverse katamari! Nothing felt too difficult, and I enjoyed how silly the whole thing was. Good job!

I love it! Pretty challenging but easily one of the cutest games I've played today, great job!

Just the NAME LOLOLOL ROTATO! I LOVE IT. I liked the controls a lot but couldn't quite figure out what to do in the rooms once I got there.

Submitted(+1)

Took me a second to get out of the fist room but it had that "OOOH" moment when I could break the glass, spud level was a little tricky but It was cool!

Submitted(+2)

Nice work I love the concept! the controls were hard (I guess thats the point tho) and it took me a second to understand how to play but after that it was a blast. I love the animations on the potato and the story elements you weaved in. great work!

Mr potato really yeets those objects around! It wasn't clear what the goal of the game was from the beginning but i figured it out. Love your concept and punny name, I can see myself getting addicted to this even though i was pretty dang bad at it. Check out our game!
