Potatoman Seeks the Troof has a trailer that has to be seen to be believed

Potatoes. Potatoes? Potatoes. Potatoman Seeks The Troof is a game about potatoes. It's also a game about the 'troof', which I sincerely hope Potatoman can handle. In troof, it's a 2D platform game starring a stubby pink potato, accompanied by the most amazing trailer. Witness its sheer majesty after the break.

Normally, I hate so-called 'live-action' trailers, but I'll make an exception here, and not just because there's a bit of gameplay at the end. If the below...experience makes you want to buy the game, you can get it for $3; if it makes you want to buy potatoes, well you can find some at your local fruit and veg shop. Potatoman, however, is available in a variety of bundles , each more bundley than the last.

Pixeljam also made the scrumptious Dino Run, which comes as part of the two more fully featured packages. Anyway, enough preamble - here's spud in your eye. (Thanks, Rock, Paper, Shotgun! )

Tom Sykes

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
