About Bud the Spud

"Bud the Spud" is a potato and unlike other potatos Bud is perfectly happy to remain a potato, he has no intention of becomming "Mashed Potato, French Fries, potato Chips" or anything else that takes away from his being just a plain ordinary potato.

one day Bud discovers that the "Rotten Potato" is selling off his fellow potato people to the fast food conglomorates in a mass genocide of his own people. Now this is enough to piss off any self respecting potato. And so begins Bud's adventure to find and stop the "Rotten Potato" from this dastardy most dispicable act of genocide. Bud will have no easy task as he will have many obstacles along the way, deadly toxic mud bogs to cross, attacking Worms, Potato Beetles, rogue toy Robots, food processing machines, Hibachi BB Q's and so much more.

Thus begins the concept for my indie game development project "Bud the Spud"

Play Bud the Spud Level One FREE!


Although it's still in development I know there are some out there who are already interested in giving my game a try so I have made level one available for free using Unity 3D's Web Player.
No load bar so you may have to be patient if you want to play.

I know what my player are going to be doing when they are tyring to cross those toxic mud bogs of instant death, "F" You Mr. Knight!! I'll bet will be some choice and colorful vocabulary that will be spewed from the lips of many a frustrated game player. OK so I like to present a few challenges in my games lol but rest assured it can be done. I guess Bud Spud should really take some time and repair those bridges huh? Oh well, I'm no super gamer and if I can do it I'm sure you can too, practice and a whole lot of colorful metaphors will eventually get you to the top of the cave where the exit is located, Bud is in for a climb ;)

    While I tried out level one I found some of the controls mess up when you move the camera around. I moved the camera up and pressed W to move forward and he came towards the camera. I feel it could possibly be fixed, although I know nothing really about the codes you have to go through to do so. Just made me run into those pesty worms when I was trying to move away so I could try and jump on them again.

      Thanks Mikouyo for testing out my game. I'm pretty new to code so I'm not too sure what I can do to fix that except perhaps play around with the settings. I myself had no problem with them, I'm using my keyboard since I don't yet have a game control pad like Game Cube, which my thinking would be ideal with the dual joy sticks. I found the best way to jump on the worms is to either time your jump just right as you are running towards them or crouch and wait for them to get close and hit jump and splat them super easy... it does sound like it has it's challenges though eh.
      Were you able to make it to the top? :)

      I have yet to make it to the top. Spud keeps jumping in the water when I try to get the key. Then I finally got the key and had one life left but got stuck trying to back away from some other water and fell in. lol Having it challenging does make it more fun. I mean if it was easy to do everything it would go by so fast. I will keep trying until I win :D

      Thanks Mikouyo, lol I find when I'm playing that happens to me to if I'm too forcefull with the controls when he's on a rock surounded by deady mud bog goop ;)
      I found the best way was to tap those controls and use the camera angle aswell to manouver him into a better position to jump back. It's tricky but not too tricky. I find I swear alot when I muck up a simple jump lol, but it sure gets me back into trying it again ;)
      I'm especially pleased to hear that you seem like you are having fun playing it and find it a challenge. HINT: jumping from crouch get you higher ;)

      Gosh darnit, the worms are easy to get rid of now, but jumping from rock to rock keeps killing me. Seems he has a short jump, long jump, and double flippy jump. He keeps doing the short jump like something hit me before I pressed the button and then catches the edge of the rock and falls in. The darn potato. Everything is easy now up till I got to jump those three rocks in the bog... I tried so many times DX lol. This game will not defeat me!! I will keep trying.

      Thanks Mikouyo it certainly sounds like you are enjoying my game and I'm super pumped about that :) You ROCK buddy :) Yeah the jumps take a bit of getting used to so I tried not to make the distances too far apart from each other that they would be too hard but yet not too simple eaither, it was a tricky set up of much trial and error. I found that crossing the middle bog sometimes worked best to take a goor run at it and wait till the last possible second to jump. Bog 3 was a kind of take one stone at a time although there were some times that I managed to jump one each one just right and keep going, but line up for each one and take them one at a time seems best. Same for the one floating way above.... Which reminds me I still need to add some worms to those floating stone platforms ;)
