Top Potato

Top Potato isn't a revolutionary game, nor is it going to change the world, but I did have a heck of a good time making it!

I wanted to challenge myself and decided to try to make a game using a kid's game engine! I didn't have any coding opportunities growing up, and I was excited to give this a go and limit myself using the Scratch engine. Voilá, we've got Top Potato!

For the uninitiated: "Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations."

So what is Top Potato about?

Russet is a happy potato flying through the sky. He's living his best life. Help him reach ultimate freedom and become the Top Potato by eating all of the sun drops, but mind the maggots and the bad beams!

Sound recordings by me, as is the very basic art drawn in Scratch!
