He lashes out trying to preserve himself from being cooked, while at the same time being sad and resigned at his life of being a potato. That alone kept me playing for awhile. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game play was good enough, and I think you captured the boss fight vibe well. Nice job."},{"author_name":"lochmann-apps","author_uid":"52509","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:07pm","epoch":1429624920,"text":"I can't start the game with windows 8.1 - do I have to install something before?

I do like the graphics of both the player and potato :D It could do with sound, and it did crash the first time I tried it. But a great first attempt at a game. \r<br\/>I know what it is like to overscope massively, the first LD I tried I did, and the game I made was awful. But this LD being my second attempt I just keep getting better."},{"author_name":"Damdoshi","author_uid":"45212","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:36pm","epoch":1429630260,"text":"Cool. = ) The player animation is quite pretty.\r<br\/>Nice game."},{"author_name":"track02","author_uid":"52910","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:06pm","epoch":1429635660,"text":"Pretty cool, I really like the animation on the player"},{"author_name":"SinclairStrange","author_uid":"44332","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:09pm","epoch":1429635840,"text":"I've never felt sorry for a potato so for that, this game is awesome ;).

He hates potatoes. Or rather, he *loves* potatoes and is currently very hungry. Defeat King Potato with your microwave beams and chow down on his soft, fluffy innards. Honestly, he's tastier than he looks. \r\n\r\nMy first game jam. And my first game. \r\n\r\nI had such grand plans. It turns out making games is hard. \r\n\r\nSo while I managed very little of my original scope (including fully animated enemies left on the cutting room floor), everything in this short boss encounter was created from scratch. Which means no sound, because I am totally tone deaf. Sorry! \r\n\r\nI learnt a huge amount making this. You'll see me again next year. ","title":"MegaWave"}
