- Very charming artystyle. The mechanics didn't quite click with me, since it was a puzzle platformer with a real time mechanic it felt like the game was working against me if that makes sense.
- Audibly gasped when I realized the central mechanic here, and it kept getting more complex and interesting! Balanced relatively well which is impressive given the chaotic nature here. Speedrun potential here is insane. Very fun and rewarding to manage your guys effectively!
- The idea of needing to juggle multiple characters is pretty interesting. The mechanic is a little easy to cheese as you only need to move a little bit to reset the timer. But the game feels very polished and the art is great.
How does the game fit into the theme?
If you don't move forward, you explode and die, so you need to keep moving forward.

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 2:35:00 <3 (Part 2)
Hi, thankyou for playing. I hope you enjoyed the game! I'll check the vods out!
hey, thanks for playing can’t wait to see your vod about it (even tho it’s kinda bugged lol)
ok, I’ve seem the VOD, sorry for stressing you out haha, still hope you liked :D the intention was to keep the player whelmed (not over, not under ahha), maybe we overdid it a lil bit? :P
The visuals were great, and the gameplay was really intense! Great job!
hey, thanks so much for playing and also the kind words
This was a super cool take on the theme. It can get quite chaotic to make sure all your little Joes don't run explode. I especially liked the coneyor belt section. I did run into a bug with the doors there, but that'll happen. Great job!
Hi! Thank you for playing the game!
When we first start working on the game, chaotic is the vibe that we were going for, and I hope we nailed it! We also noticed the bugs with the door and actually found the fix after submitting the game, so that's quite unfortunate. Thank you for the feedback!
At first I didn't understand, and then how did I understand xD
When they started appearing in every level, it was fun.
The idea is just great, I didn't go far, but it's worth thinking about simplifying)
Not usually a fan of platformers but this was just cute and ridiculous enough to make me give it a go. Controls were definitely a bit difficult and there were some minor bugs but nothing gamebreaking. Great use of the theme!
hey, thanks for playing :)
It’s a really nice puzzle game, I loved the art and the levels!
Loved the unique mechanic! Visuals are so appealing to look at, especially with the parallax background. Well done!
right? the artist really did an awesome job
PEMMY! HI!
I really like the idea, but I have a little bit of trouble with the controls. feels like just having 1 button like Tabs to cycle throught the different character would have been a little less confusion.
Except for that, I like the art, and some of the puzzle are interesting!
Good job!
Hi Mr. Fool!
We have multiple buttons for multiple Joes to ensure that the players could have more controls over them, but having an option where the player can choose to have one button instead of four might be a good idea too. We'll definitely add that in as an optional setting in the future.
Thank you for the feedback! Greatly appreciated!
goated visuals
SILLY LITTLE PATATOS
Looks great. Question is there a way to hold the other potatos while moving?
not really, but that’s probably a good idea to test out :D thanks for feedback
Lots of fun, art is top, super cute and very thought out, loved the parallax and the puzzles! I did notice some times Joe would get stuck in a door that was open, I figured to solve this you would use another Joe and switch a lever, go back to the other Joe and you should be able to walk through the door again\
We need more joe potatos, make the game even harderrrrrrrrrrr!
We did notice that bug that you mentioned, but didn't have enough time to fix it 😢. We will fix all the pesky bugs and add more levels in the future! Thanks for the feedback!
Good game! Very fun to play :D and very good idea
Thank you!
Amazing game, good job!
Thanks!
