Lethal Potato

First place in Micro Jam #23!

Can you beat my highscore of 101?

Play it on newgrounds to participate in the leaderboard!

How it works:
The evil slimes will kill you, but luckily you have a ridiculously hot potato to defend yourself. Throw it at them to kill them and score points. Don't hold on to the potato for too long though, or you'll get burned! After every 10 points you get to pick a powerup. However, the more points you get, the hotter the potato will get, and the more evil slimes will come for you...

Powerups:

• regain 1 health: get 1 heart back if you don't have all of them
• better oven mitts: be able to hold the potato for longer
• perpetual potato: spawn a potato that infinitely moves on it's own, killing slimes, but also you if you don't watch out

Combos:
Get multiple slimes with one throw of the potato (by bouncing it off of them) to get a combo, which gives you more points

Controls:
walk around with WASD or the arrow keys, aim and shoot with the mouse
