WASD/Arrow keys - move Space - shoot potato E - eat potato and heal
Biglue - you Wiglue - winged things that chase you
#How to play
Wiglues chase you and you have to bite a potato and spit it out at the Wiglues ( or eat it to heal if need be). Don't let the Wiglues touch you or you will take some damage. Try to survive and achieve high score. If you find a peeled potato ( looks yellow-ish) you can choose to eat it or shoot it at a Wiglue. There are 3 end screens. One when you die and the other two depend on your choice.

#Lore
Earthglueobia
Wiglues are a flying species from Earthglueobia. They have wings, which due to a fault of nature, do not give them flying capabilities. Because of that they cannot migrate and in order to survive harsh weather conditions ( like cold) they wear little blue vests and some boots. They are the only living thing left on Earthglueobia, because they were deemed too cute to be killed and considered an endangered species.
The Biglue on the other hand, is one of a kind. It was a glitch. Its wings evolved down into spikes, feathers turned into scales and it grew weird ass eye things.
But the only resource for food on Earthglueobia are potatos. And the Biglue loves potatos. It also hates Wiglues.
The potatoes actually contain slight DNA and the core essence of this planets inhabitance, but their skin prevents the creatures from absorbing it. There is a slight chance due to cosmic radiation and strock of a luck that a peeled potato will spawn. If the Biglue decides to eat it, it will be cured and turn into a true form Wiglue. But if it spits it out it will spread his mutated DNA and every Wiglue will turn into a Biglue.
Wow, this game has a really dense background even though the mechanics are so simple! I hope you were aiming for a creepy experience, because if so, you nailed it O_o
Wiglues, bow before your lord Biglue, the rightful ruler of Earthglueobia. Weirdly this is the second potato themed game I've played today, and I like it. Who knew spitting potatoes could be fun?
It's simple and well executed. Maybe the wiglues could wander around once the player get far enough, so there wouldn't be a ginourmous line of wiglues behind you after a minute play. Good mechanic letting the player decide whether to shoot those bastards or heal... ;)
@FaBrito Yes I know what you mean. That was my initial idea, but something went wrong making wiglues to walk strange so I removed it. It was probably some problem with the model orientation.
It was funning running from the baddies and grabbing a potato to shoot back. Found it more time efficient to just ram into them and then eat potatoes after though...although that didn't help my score :)
I love the creepy sound the wiglues make and the chase is fun. Has some fun potential. It would be great if you could eat and shoot more than one potato at a time though. And possibly make the wings on the Wiglues flap. Nice start!
I think the tension of the chase would be enhanced if the field were made smaller; I felt like I had plenty of room to run away. I loved turning around for a moment and then looking back to see that there was a veritable horde on my heels.

Nice game, but would be good if the enemy's had some sort of effect rather than just disappearing.
