How does you game fit the theme?
This is a game about a potato with a gun. It is probably the only game in this jam where you are a potato with a gun.
Its also a game about not having motivation and creative block and about how people creating works of art feel inadequate and unable to continue working on their work because they are unhappy of their work and life and themselves and their situations and how everything in the world seems to fall away from their hands so quickly like seriously, how on earth is this world going away so fast it feels like nothing is even worth exploring anymore because by the time you get used to it its already old news like what
its also a game about a potato with a gun
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code for the Character Platformer is from Tarodev's Ultimate Platformer video
Most of the assets are by Kenney
The levels, dialogue, animations (if u can call them that), etc etc were made by me.

Haha, definitely not a failure. Actually it's simple but really fun. I really enjoyed it. Everything works smoothly. The pixel art isn't bad, not at all. Come to check my game as well.
epic game! I personally like the potato, and the gun :)
A machine gun that shoots tater tots would be cool
ten potato out of ten guns
Very good game, I'll blame webgl for the bugs ;)
Cool game, no audio though but overall i really like the humor in this game.
A very comedic game overall !!!
This is nice, this is fun, but most importantly
This is a potato with a gun
Really nice platformer shooter, really enjoyed the humour, especially the ending! You should be proud that you managed to make a game in such a short time. Good job!
P.S. The AI art looks amazing!
10/10 would hear that crazy sax solo on the credits roll, ggwp
A potato with a gun, what could be wrong? Really enjoying game, congratulations!
I'm gonna blame WEBGL all the way down... which it seems to be forever because this thing won't stop falling!
Game delivers what promised
Ah yes, the natural predator of the potato, the brick. 10/10 would play again.
A fun little game! Loved the funny dialog at the end, the movement was nice and quick, great job!
I’d appriciarte it if you could check out ours too!
This game was amazing. The platforming was fun and very fast paced. I kinda wished the world was a little bigger because the exploring was pretty fun. The ending genuinely made me laugh :D Love me some meta commentary and AI generated artwork lmao.
Honestly my favorite game so far!
Dude this has to be one of my favorite of this whole game jam. Especially because of the art style. I love pixel art. I also used pixel art for my game but I think you did a way better job on the sprites. I liked the ending dialogue with the brick. A potato talking to a brick lol.
If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

I'm glad I went through to the end to dialog with the brick. And I totally get the block idead to, nice work. Perfect introduction, it's really clear that you play as a potato with a gun.
the potato with a gun (the potato with a gun) is a game where there is a potato with a gun and it is the result of the potato with a gun committing crimes that only a potato with a gun would do.
a lot of the game feels solid and the potato with a gun's enemy the cement brick with a gun is absolute perfect antagonist and the boss BIG LARGE SUBSTANTIAL OF CONSIDERABLE SIZE cement "blockhead" brick was beautiful.
the name, story, characters, all feels like a meme submission ands that alright.
the controls and camera are great, collision however sends bullets and you through each and every parallel world out of sheer spite, and the enemies are bit "ill defeat you with clones of myself", and i wish there would have been a very cobbled together boss containing CPU destroying amounts of cement bricks because... ...idk.
over all a "potato with a gun/10"
not easy, but really fun
F** you, creative block!!!!!!!!
Now... What were those weird pictures in the credits?
