I wasn't planning on doing Ludum Dare this weekend, but when I saw that the bonus theme was potatoes, I had to participate. After a little less than an hour of work and many hours of waiting for Google Play, I'm proud to present Minimalistic Potato.

I like to think of Minimalistic Potato as a reflection on the ephemerality of the human condition. Interpret it how you wish though. Potatoes gonna potate.

I think we need more games like this in our industry.
For example, kids will gladly throw money at every other game that comes out, but you sir, are truly an artist. This game is so emotional, and it is astounding how you could have made it in such a short time.

THE NEXT SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS!

The ending was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not sure if this game has multiple endings or not, but I am definitely going to play again to find out. The moment where he potated, I couldn't not cry at the look in his eyes. It was wonderful, and I am glad to have played such a stellar game. I love you.

Marvelous by dear sir, You have seem to struck an awe-inspiring intersection between the insightfullness of the thematicity of minimalism whilst not letting it overshadow it sublimirary thematic use of that is at the root of it all.
