My game crashed towards the end I think, but otherwise the work is really quality GG

@vladez32 @yoanntsitionis

Thanks a lot for the crash report and for playing Fry Quest :heart: :potato:

I assume you played the web version, I saw that sometimes the Godot 4 crashed the browser when itch.io frame is setting is full screen by default. I changed the setting, it shouldn't crash anymore I hope.

Potato puns were on point! And is this a LotR reference that I saw:

Cute and funny story with some nice minigames and I feel like I've also learned something :)
(Potato song gets a 10/10 from me lol)

btw spotted a tiny error:

This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

Sheesh, this game is super polished and clean. I can see by your profile you have a lot of experience you're building upon. Keep it up!

Haha that was cute!! I loved the story and how happy Fry looked in the end. Made me want to eat some fries... I am so happy it's not the kind of story where poor potato screams and suffers but rather is happy and jolly! :D And I know I saw sprites on stream already but they are sooooo CUTE especially a lil mouse!

I'm here for the puns. Please more potato puns. Also rule n'1 always bring gran patat on big adventures!
Very cute submission and silly fun minigames, loved it

What a sweet little game. I think Crowtato wins the Jam for the best name too. The art was outstanding. Now I'm hungry. Great jam!
Irene028 Oct 2024, 21:52
Such a funny little adventure! Loved the "Gran Patat" pun, got a giggle out of me. Cute sticker style, also adds to the charm. Great job!

I do not generally eat potatoes, but I still enjoyed the game :grin: The music during the crow flight and the potato song were both superb and added so much to the atmosphere!
The visuals are nice, especially the colors. And the mouse is my absolute favorite from the whole cast :mouse:

It's a pleasant and unique story with some cool humor. Gameplay is on the easy side - I honestly found the challenge in the main menu more challenging than anything later :laughing. But this gameplay fits the overall mood of the game.

To another successful jam :wine_glass:

Wonderful aesthetics with a charming, cute theme that adds to the game's appeal. I failed the initial worthiness part twice, but luckily managed to be worthy and god bless that no wiggle check hehe. Really enjoyed it overall, pleasant vibes with a really calm game-play. Superb entry!

Very cute game! Art is awesome!!!
Gametrodon9 Oct 2024, 18:28
This was very cute, that said, there were a few places that confused me a bit.
1. When it came to plucking things off Grandpa's head, I was sure if I was supposed to clicking, using arrow keys or something else.
2. During the flying sequence, it would have been nice to have the controls somewhere on the screen. Also, it wasn't obvious to me that I was supposed to avoid clouds.
3. Same thing was true for the laser sequence with the cat. It took me a bit to figure out what I could click on, and also where I was supposed to be getting the laser... it wasn't clear to me why getting the cat to jump off the counter wouldn't have been a success, so I ended up just clicking everything randomly.

You've made a very good game

I really like Friday Night Funkin part! Also very cute art!
MAR Zockmeister9 Oct 2024, 20:53
Oh yes, Belgian fries are the best...too bad it is really difficult to get them here... :sweat:
Nice little game, had the perfect balance between story and mini games. And the story is really funny. :smiley:
I definitely loved it to play it through. :thumbsup:
PS: I thank I had a bug. When clicking the second time on 'I want to hear more', the explanation about food starts again. Or maybe it is not a bug?
gm3l9 Oct 2024, 21:48
hey @mar-zockmeister, it is not a bug but a feature :sweat_smile: Fry doesn't remember much as it just woke up :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: thanks for testing and the feedback

Really cool and pleasing visuals, some funny puns, and well placed "oh yeah" voice lines made it a joy to play through. I felt that it was just a tiny bit overwritten in the beginning, but then again you did have the skip dialogue options in place.
Never knew I needed this, but now I finally know how the Belgian fries are properly made!
iOlis_Lui10 Oct 2024, 09:52
It looks cute!!! I would make this PC game for kids. Very pretty. The most important thing is to start mastering the computer.

Arrows, space bar, mouse. Very elegant and cute))

(why can you crash into clouds...? they are perceived as a background...

too many texts)

Short but cute! there is a nice variety of gameplay for the length

I enjoyed the tone here and the story was pretty funny at times, I also thought using potatoes to explore the theme is pretty unique!

good entry!

Fun game! The potato chopping song is the best,it really adds to the vibe! Making a trailer was such a smart move, it got me even more excited to play!
Bet you a lot of fun making it :)

Very beautiful and well polished game.

Congratulations!
Pierre-Marie10 Oct 2024, 16:11
The story is a lot of fun, and the atmosphere is just right.

There's a delay between the input and the moment when it passes over the arrows, which is disturbing.

Well done for this game!

It's pretty, has funny dialogue and I *think* the story is cute although we didn't learn if it hurts to get eaten in the end.

Seeing Fry make it was inspirational. If he could do it then maybe there's a chance for us all...
ThePW10 Oct 2024, 19:57
Funny game, love the voices and the potato song. Can't wait for the sequel!

flappy bird, but with a plot, it's very funny. Your graphics are so cartoony and so cute!! And the song is about potatoes.. I want to download it and listen to it again :))))

Sutt0011 Oct 2024, 19:20
POH-TAe-TOES! Sam knew what was up. This is a charming game. I love the designs for the potatoes, especially the grandpappy. The dialogue was fun but a little overindulgent, even with the skip option. Though I do like the information relayed.
Would also be nice to go back into fullscreen in HTML if you accidentally exit it.

from the art, to the dialogue, to the minigames and music/sfx, its crasy how much content u guys fit in this! my favorite is the lil mousie with her tiny knife
Artyom Volkov12 Oct 2024, 12:14
It's a good tiny game. The story is fun, and visuals are very cute. My main criticism is that the game has more dialogues than gameplay itself, it would be great to have much more mini games. In addition, the last cat sequence lacks some actual feedback what is clickable and not.
Frostbeak12 Oct 2024, 14:47
They're taking the potats to Isengard!

Very fun experience! The mouse singing reminds me of the soundtrack to our own game. Fun writing, and nice little mini-games to keep the experience fresh. Love the humor, the puns and LotR reference.

I also have to give a +1 for the Linux build, I always appreciate that.

I have two criticisms though:

1. I feel like the intro was maybe a little bit too long.

2. This is how all fries are made :joy:

简单而有趣的游戏,很不错It's a great game, simple and fun.

very cute and fun game, love all the little characters, the minigames worked really well too

Haha what the heck did I just play xD
A fable about *Belgian* fries are made. Didn't except that.
A bit to much to read and I eventually spam click some Crowtato x Gran-tato speech (sorry)
Fun idea to create a short story with small mini games along the way. Nice job :)
RamboBeans12 Oct 2024, 15:51
BELGIUM MENTIONED RAAAH :flag_be: :flag_be: :flag_be:
Short but fun adventure about our prestigious fries, thank you for sharing this with the world, great entry!

Gamayun.Games12 Oct 2024, 21:57
my favorite Beligian fries! this is such an unexpected, but cool take on the theme :) a very nice game!
i liked the style and the story, the characters were just adorable. the only couple of things that i wish for is maybe a shorter intro dialogue :D it would be cool to get into the action sooner and get some additional info about potatoes every time after you deal with the minigame, for example :)

i also got a bit distracted by the voice reactions like Oh YEEEAH! :D it was fun at first, but after some time got a bit too powerful, maybe...
it would also be helpful to get a bit more guidance with the laser, as at first i thought that my game was frozen. and i must say that however the game is cute, it is a bit horrifying to know that our little sweet belgian potato is waiting to be eaten x)

very cool entry!

That was a fun experience with different mini-games, and made me quite hungry :P. I thought the art style was extremely adorable and simple enough to play to the finish. Great work! Now I want some fries.

@josep-valls

I am so sorry about that, this is the harder mini game in the game and I do not know what is happening for you.
Do you use a mouse, a track pad or a phone?

You can skip it the worthiness challenge using the cheat code: CTRL+ALT+DOWN-ARROW, use it a few times until the you are on the next screen.

I really enjoyed this little adventure. A really funny proposition! However, I would have liked to have enjoyed it even more, with other mini-games throughout the story, like Grandpa's rescue for example haha. Well done!

imberny13 Oct 2024, 17:30
I gotta say, opening your game with a QTE sequence is a bold choice. The kind that makes you lose a good chunk of players before they reach the actual game. Not sure what the thought process was here, especially since it's more of a story driven game. Nevertheless, it's entertaining and the potato theming was nice. Good job!

I love Belgian fries!!! The art is great, absolutely love it. Sound effect are nice too. I kind of wish there were more minigames. Well done game! And well since it is about potatoes then I just have to...

I don't think I need to say that I love jam games with narratives, given my history with jam projects but still, I appreciate that there are others that like to make them too! :) Go fry!

Also, I love that you included the LOTR reference! The game wouldn't be the same without it.

The twists and turns with the plot, and the mini-games , very cool. It reminded me a big of Mimpy-Dreams, a game my son plays with the art-style and puzzles. The lazer cat and ddr bits were my favourite.
Papaver
Papaver18 Oct 2024, 09:29
Haha, how the 'pleeeeeaaaaassssse' was moving. Cute game, with cute graphics. Maybe a little bit too much text, but I enjoyed playing it. Impressive that you made multiple mini games!

Nice music and song! I was wondering if you made all the sound effects yourselves as well?

Well done!
Odronin18 Oct 2024, 14:07
Funny story and great drawing. Very funny potatoes and animals.
gm3l18 Oct 2024, 16:05

This was a very charming game! I liked the way you toldl the story, it was very engaging. There's a good amount of humor and nice variety in the minigames.

The art is pretty, you've found a really nice style. The animation bring the characters to life, and they were all very fun to get to know. I love the little voices :smile:

Being born in Idaho, I have never seen someone so thoughtfully illustrate the life of a potato with such care and grace. I really enjoyed this short and sweet game. Really nice work on the puzzles, story, and sound effects. My one suggestion would be to allow the player to use both arrow keys and WASD. Other than that, I thought this was great. Great work!
