High-stakes hot potato is a very very good theme! The graphics are simple but effective, and I really liked how the music got faster as the game went on. The minigames were very simple, but had nice variety. Well done!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to interact with some of the features (math test) but the concept is fun!

Love your idea! A little more minigames and maybe multiplayer(like a post jam version) would be pretty cool, overall great game!

This would be awesome multiplayer. I love the square resolution. I think this is the first game I've ever played like that.

Quite a fun game, with pretty simple mechanics, but an interesting implementation with potatoes. Funny idea. And it would really be cool with multiplayer. Good job.

What a great idea! It would be fun to play one with friends online!
Cool fun game! Played with great pleasure!

Bravo, really good on the theme, graphics, music!
It's really fun and could see it be a good multiplayer game,
was a little annoying to use the mouse for clicking and moving back and forth, I would have prefered a spacebar, but maybe it's part of the game to move back and forth.

Could only improve with a few more minigames, like clicking the right colour, typing number sequence.
Great job

Cool, this could be a fun party game with friends. I thought I sucked at math but I think numpad doesn't work?

Very fun. Adding more minigames would make it even more fun, of course. Repeating what others have said a multiplayer version would be excellent. The math minigame is absolute evil and I love it, though it doesn't seem to work with the numpad, which caused me confusion at first, but I eventually figured out how to play it.

A new take on the theme! I like the variety of challenges - the math question was definitely a funny and unexpected one - though the straight-bar one (where you have to click in time) often required a reaction time I couldn't manage. Good work!

I like it! It's like some weird combination of minigames from some strange RPG. The only critique I can give is that it would be nice to be able to type the numbers on the numpad! :D

You've got a really good base here for a fun local multiplayer game. I liked that actually you could play it with a few people around a keyboard/mouse but also solo. If I had to nitpick one thing though it's that tap counter being pretty hard to read where its currently placed, other than that though nice work.

I enjoyed it! Definitely felt like the part where you have to click to stop it in the specific zone was harder than the other challenges, but overall, there was a fun variety. The music also really helped add some intensity. A fun idea!

fun little game! the mechanic with the rooms shuffling around i thought was very unique and the mix of 2d pixal art and 3d objects was interesting and nice to look at! i would love to be able to control with arrow keys aswell but thats nitpicking.

Excellent game! Love the concept and think it was carried out to the fullest, I loved the constantly shifting games and having to let go of my mouse only to grab it again for the next one. I appreciate that it sped up as it went along--my only real gripe would be that I wish there was a bit more variation in the music, but I really like that the speed of the music followed suit with the speed of the gameplay as the count got higher, so that variation mattered less as the game got more intense. I had a wonderful time with it, great work!

Great game, the mini-games are super simple but really easy to fail if you're not attentive. The visuals and audio are really nice and the game feels polished. The only regret I have is that clicking minigames seems to appear more frequently that others.

My highscore is 67 on my 3rd attempt, mostly due to luck I guess ^^
