THE POTATO GAME by BleuLlama

made by BleuLlama for LD26 (COMPO)

It's a game distilled down to its most minimal elements: Interactivity, Conflict, Choice, Achievement, and Win/Lose. You collect potatoes and try not to lose any to the Potato Monster. There's not much more to say.

So this is what a potato farming simulator is about.
Humorous!

The real objective is feeding the potato monster as many potatoes as you can.

No! Damn! The potato monster is very strong!, although is logic, is a potato.

Nice text-based game :)!

Quite amusing. First I won in 5 steps... and then I played and played trying to beat that stupid monster. You've manipulated my emotions!

When I clicked the "Web" link for this entry, so eloquently titled "THE POTATO GAME," I wondered what I would see on the other side. Perhaps a game about potatoes, or one containing potatoes. If I was lucky, perhaps it would be about potato recipes.

Nay--when the page loaded, I found myself face to face with an exploration of the age-old question "What does it mean to win?" Each of us holds within a different expectation as to the frui--excuse me: the potatoes of labor. Is it enough to obtain only the net sum of your inputs? Or do you strive for something greater? To accomplish something unexpected that grants you more than you could ever have hoped for? This game has triggered in me, and I'm sure many others, a reevaluation of what it is I really wish to achieve.

Thank you, BleuLlama, for this thought-provoking entry. I will keep it in my heart forever.

Cute text adventure :) Would be great to see more gameplay elements so that games last more than two seconds :P Also now I want potato

To fight or not to fight, are my potatoes worth it?

I'm left to ponder in the green glow of serenity.
