My first thought was immediately “hot potato,” and then I noticed that the description mentions it as an inspiration. It’s a fun concept, but in practice the game felt a little too frustrating and somewhat dependent on randomness—or perhaps I didn’t fully understand how to minimize it.
I really liked the unique visual style, and the core idea is definitely interesting. With a bit more refinement, I think it could become much more engaging. Overall, it’s an interesting and promising project.
