The Game of Potato Connection :

When i started the design of this game i wanted to make sure that the player can clearly see the transition between the two worlds

Is that slenderman haha? This game is sogood yet it is one of the least rated, well done and good job. I like the music aswell.

Very cool idea. Only thing I didn't like was the camera movement. Needs to be a lot smoother, was making me a little motion sick xD nice one!

Took a while to figure out what was going on, but after a few cycles I noticed how it worked. The shooting section is pretty tricky (Those turrets are mental :p) but actually quite a nifty take on the theme. Music's fun too.

Thank you All :D !!!
@modbox actually i was thinking about Hitman (agent47) when i created him :3

@SuperSquareBoy i was going to make a smooth camera following but then i just stoped lol, i'll make sure to add that asap

@DragonXVI am glad you like it ^_^

@Easimer lol i didn't expected either :D !!

Nice game. A little hard though. (note: somehow shooting with B didn't seem to work for me)
alaslipknotauthor25 Aug 2014, 12:56
@Pinqu thank you :) and how are you actually shooting ? you are supposed to keep smashing the B button(up and down) not press and hold

I like how the worlds are transitioned between! The art is nice too. The pace of the game is a bit too fast for me, though it's just a personal preference.

The shooting button is not reachable while jumping and running... maybe I need another arm... Bute the gamneplay is nice... it is fast and challenging...I like the music and the double jump :D

@iSamurai thank you :D !!! and maybe this is a good chance to try some fast games ^^ SuperMeatBoy is a must-play if you didn't already :3

@psychomonster thanks a lot !!! and for the jumping, are you playing with the controller ?? i'll make a quick update and allow you guys to shot with the triggers ^^
and for the keyboard you can shoot with anything lol
(left mouse, left ctrl, X, up and down arrow)

Thank you all and please show the game to your friends, it really feel good to see all this comments ^_^

Nice submission. This potato seems to me very angry.
Well done ++

Hi there. Nice chiptunes and visuals. Sprites remind me of "fairly odd parents" for some reason. Nice platforming mechanics. I'm bad at reactions, so didn't get far, but looks lovely! Good job.

@Geckoo1337 well not very very angry, just a little :3 thank you :)

@mrexcessive lol am glad you like it and yeah the game is kinda very hard for now, i will work on a longer version soon where the first level doesn't play like hell ^^

Fun game. Art and music are awesome. The shooting controls are a little uncomfortable though. I thought there was really no need for the mouse.
alaslipknotauthor27 Aug 2014, 02:41
@FGM Thank you !! and i thought that too :D !!! that's why you can shoot with X/Left Ctrl/ Up arrow or Down Arrow all of these works ^^ !!

Really enjoyed playing this game, music and art blends really well, the shooting part was definitely unexpected but added some fun,the added effort for the ending was really cool. overall smooth fun game.

Awesome! This could be really fun to speed run with a bit more development and some highscores. Finished it in 100.03 seconds on my second attempt, not sure if that's any good though xD. Transition between worlds is super slick, and I like the fact that accurately timing your shots with the turrets works far better than just spamming bullets. Nice entry, well done :)

@InfectionTeam Thanks a lot :D !!!
and 100.03 is very good for a second try ^_^

"I like the fact that accurately timing your shots with the turrets works far better than just spamming bullets"
Am a big fan of the NES MegaMan games :3

I really hope i can find an artist to join me and finish this game, thanks again man
