An absurd and adorable adventure where you play a potato on legs. The offbeat humor and minimalist platforming disarm you, and local co-op adds a dash of chaos. Short, sweet and impossible to take seriously, in the best way.

An underrated gem

Kicks, rolls and physics puzzles add up to an absurd comedy of infectious warmth, where every character you meet lands like a well-timed gag. Released amid the indie crowd and from a publisher better known for splashier titles, it kept a low profile. Its unbridled whimsy and local co-op make it well worth the detour; perfect for sharing a light, giggly session with a friend.

Better with friends

Two players wander through delightfully oddball puzzle-platforming in the land of a little red bean. It all rides on cooperation: boosting each other up, syncing absurd movements, triggering gags that take four hands. The adventure is short and charming, making it a wonderful gaming dessert to savor together. You come out grinning, ready to recommend it to the next duo that drops by.
