About the game:

Hot Potato is a roguelike deckbuilder where you juggle a live, ticking bomb using a hand of cards. Pass the bomb off with Swap, defuse it outright, or stall with Freeze while the clock (and the enemy) works against you. Throughout combat, the bomb is always ticking. Your job is to make sure it is not in your hand when it explodes. Survive escalating fights across three areas: Potato Fields, Tomato Patch, and Cheese Cellar, collecting relics and gold between runs, before facing the final boss: Hot Potato himself.
