It’s time to get potatosophical

In addition to its work onGlorkbot’s Mini Adventureand other projects in the pipeline, Pixeljam Games has been busy withPotatoman Seeks the Troof, a difficult, minimalistic platformer that’s described as being “potatosophical.”Sounds about right! The new game is available now as a standalone for $3, in a trilogy bundle for $5, and in Pixejam’s Octology for $10.

There’s a site dedicated to these bundlesthat lays it all out. I couldn’t finishPotatoman, which is indeed not an easy game, but I’ll have to go back and give it another shot. I need to know “the troof,” as it were. There’s also something oddly charming about the protagonist.

If you’re down with the studio’s music, The Octology seems especially worth it. In total, this comes with downloadable versions ofPotatoman,Planeteri(ambient album with an interactive visualizer), theBitkubeta (pixel art app),Snowball(rad pinball game),Dino Run SE,Marathon of Doom(aDino Runchallenge),Pixeljams Vol. 1, and thePotatoman Soundtrack. Lastly, the Holiday Bonus bundle has all of this,Dino Run Text Adventure, and theBeelzebudsalpha for $15.
