Very nice! Simple but fun gameplay and the potato character is very cool.
Thanks Theo! I liked your game too :)
Don't need to repeat all the positive things other people did :P
Flame thrower feels like its unaffected by the player's velocity, this makes it feel "Sloppy" like skating on ice, but with a flame thrower to me!
The counter above the player's head is oscillating all over the place for me (possibly 144hz monitor problems) - it's very distracting.
The controls here scream for WASD alternative inputs - it could be a one handed game no problem! That's a good thing!
Good to see Phaser getting used too - its a pretty agile engine.
Good jam!
Absolutely, should've added the WSAD controls, that would've been a no brainer :)
As for the flamethrower velocity, I agree, I knew something was off when developing it but didn't figure out what until it was too late :(
Thanks for checking it out!!
The game is really good, but once I understood that I can touch the other potatoes and just run through them while holding space it became a bit too easy. The art, animation and flame thrower effect was really cool - great job for 3h!!
Yeah, I initially had it so you couldn't run while using the flamethrower and I think I should've left it that way Dx
Very well executed. Simple but to the point. Also, I don't think I've seen many people use phaser before, that's nice to see.
Cheers! I love Phaser, it's a solid framework for JS games.
Weird story but I enjoyed it
Lol yup xD thanks!!
The character is really powerfull and maybe too dangerous to be left alive :o
Danger to potato-society indeed lol
I like the bad-ass main character.
It feels weird that the fire trails behind you as you move although it's physically correct.
I thought that felt weird too! And thanks I was going for bad-ass ;D
Ha, this was a fun little game. A potato with sunglasses using a flamethrower to cook his own kind? Yeah, man! Nice work for 3 hours!
Haha yeah man, it was the best I could come up with for the "hot potato" theme :P
Just wish I'd allotted a bit more time at the end to add sound!
