Weeeeee *SPLASH*

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, especially the sound design. Some suggestions:

  • Introduce progression, like unlocking levels.
  • A star system idea.
  • Add varied objects beyond the bouncy pad.

With some refinement, this could be a standout casual game. Great work!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I have a plan for that.

good game

Could you please rate my game  -  https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236838

I enjoyed this game way too much, which is a good sign :). It's a really funny game that is simply fun to play around with. I want to give you credits for the sound. It's simple, but extremely effective. Some ideas for improvement: 

- I missed some form of progression. It would be great to unlock the next level if you reach a certain depth.

- Like LandonZX below suggests I was also thinking that this game would really benefit from a star system.

- Adding some variety of 'objects' instead of the bouncy pad would be nice. 

In it's current shape the game is already fun to play with so imagine what a polished version with more 'depth' could achieve. You might have a hit casual game in your hands ;). Nice entry, congrats. 

Developer

First of all, thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Secondly, I really thank you for your suggestions. I'll keep them in mind and update the game accordingly.

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Dont make me feel so bad when the potato hits a wall 😭the potato looked so sad!
  2. Have a star system like bad score = ⭐, good score = ⭐⭐, best score = ⭐⭐⭐

It's a really cute game hahaha, but it takes me a while to figure out the gameplay. I like Mr. Potato! such a lovely little game!!

Developer

Thank you! You should bounce from the trampolines to dive as deep as you can into the water.

Simple but solid game. Funny how I managed to splat the potato off the sky haha. The score system was confusing a little bit. I'm not sure whether it was the distance, speed or height that increases the score.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! No that's not for distance nor speed, that is for "Diving Deep" into the water. Give it a try again and dive as deep as possible into the water, and have Fun!

Nice little game. I like when it smashed on the sky...

Developer

Thanks!

I am not good at this game, but it's a funny game :D Weeeeeee

Really fun game! Could be a great mobile game!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I'm planning for that.

Pretty fun, this reminds me of those old flash games like Learn to Fly where you try to go as far (or in this case, as deep) as you can. The sound effect that plays when the potato is shot out is pretty funny, and it was also funny how the potato got mashed up if it collided with a wall. I think adding some upgrades or other goal to each level would make them more fulfilling (e.g. could have a level where the goal is to get 100 deep, and upgrades help you dive deeper). Otherwise, very fun game and fun time with this one!

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for your feedback. I will consider your advices for next update!

really fun concept :) the gameplay's pretty addicting! despite the "Weeeeeeee!" sound getting annoying, the rest of the game's sounds made the game pretty satisfying. good job!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cool game! Looks like we had a similar idea. I like the added challenge of hitting the target.

Developer

Thanks!

Fun game! I really like when you hit a wall and he gets smashed.

Developer

Thanks!

Cool game ! Not too short, 10 levels was good

Had a little struggle understanding what was the goal so some indications would be appreciated

I like the little potato graphics, and his voice lol. I crushed him more than once, hope he isn't hurt too bad x)

Developer

Glad to get your feedback!
