Potatoman Seeks the Troof is a humorous and philosophical 2012 Flash platformer developed by American game indie game studio PixelJAM Games.[1][2] It was included as one of 7 "Digital Select" titles for the IndieCade independent games festival in 2013 and received an honorable mention at the Independent Games Festival 2014 (but no nomination).[3][4] The protagonist of the game—a potato—solves puzzles while roaming through desert wastelands, thick forests and dystopian cities.[5] An updated version of the game was re-released on Steam in 2014.[6] The game was also released on the iPhone in 2015.[7]
Reception
The game has been described as mechanically bare-bones yet very challenging. The controls were criticized in both the Flash game and the smartphone version.[8][6][7]
