How does you game fit the theme?
When Brackey's said that you're not alone, CouchPotato took that a bit personally!
The potato wants to be alone and shoots ExcuseBullets at his daily responsibilities and tasks. The enemies are made from the perspective of a potato.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Im a UX designer and wanted to give a shot at doing end to end process. All the code is written from scratch based on tutorials.
Assets were all made on Procreate. Music and sounds are royalty free assets.

I love how the potato looks. I think some sound design when you shoot and destroy the items would be a really good addition as well as having some longer and varied gameplay. Really nice twist on the theme however. I enjoyed it!
I like the graphics and the choice of music is very nice! Things stopped dropping at 48. Either way, I can sympathize with the potatoe. 😉
I think it would have been very funny if the bullets were something being unknowingly shot by the potato, maybe using the snot bubbles? Very short but solid action, the speed of the "enemies" gives great pacing. Being only 50 enemies it'd be nice to have a victory screen of sorts, it looks like a bug when they stop coming.
The art is extremely cute
very nice game it helps train your reflexes great job.
Note: the game didn't run until I changed the name of the file called ( GameJam(August_2022)_Data ) to ( Game_Data ) after that it worked.
Hey bro,
The game would be better if you add some sound effect for shooting or something
You made a mistake by changing data folder's name you should make Game_Data
the game is too small just 50 things to avoid
Overall, great idea and nice fit to the theme I really enjoyed it and I hope it could be much taller
GO ON BRO!
Great use of the theme, and the graphics are beautiful ! Well done !
Loved the way you used the theme, and the music choice is excellent!! Good job!
Pretty nice game! Had to rename the data folder to Game_Data to get it to work. The music is great and fits with the game. Also was simple mechanics but still fun. Enemy hitboxes were a bit off where I shot though the top side of some of them and they didn't die though and they stopped spawning after 50 were killed.
This is so cool. Very relatable and very cute simple design. Good job!
I liked that we protect the potato and he keeps sleeping, the design is really nice.
Really cute game with a really cute potato! Do you mind rating my game when you get the chance?
I rated 5 star for the theme category. I agree with cstef, I also like the way you reversed the theme and make it more approachable. " ExcuseBullets™ is exceptionally good naming. Love it.
Great job! Love the pumpkin the best
Simple and addicting, liked the music :) Good Game.
I like how you reversed the theme ! The gameplay is simple but the backstory makes it really fun to play ! Great work !
Really good game! I love the little potato
Ayy! Thanks!
Very interesting game.
You need to change this file name to 'Game_Data' though otherwise it won't run ~ at least for me.
Yes, i found that out after the submission deadline. Have updated a note in the instructions.
Thanks for checking it out!
I can't open the game :/
Change the Game.exe file name to GameJam(August_2022).exe.
Sorry I made a boo boo.
Thanks for trying it out!
Done :) Fun game, I wasn't expecting that ah ah.
Ayy! Glad you appreciated it!
