I can rush through but I’d rather be able to take my time and enjoy the game ### 3/5 — So hard *2020-04-12, version 1.0.8* I try and try again it might just be me but I can’t do the 1st mission to find that darn cat and survive fun game but really hard ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-04-08* This game is okay. Compared to the Blacksmith one this is trash. I mean the battle system is horrible your turn thier turn you turn ect. I recomend the blacksmith one ### 5/5 — Fun, challenging and unique *2018-08-21, version 1.0.4* Rating 4.5 Whilst I stated it is unique, the only game similar is FTL, but I enjoyed this more as it has 2 game modes. Having just completed it playing off and on over the course of 2 weeks I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely play without reading any guides as trying different combinations and finding out what works makes the initial play through a lot more challenging - although the difficulty by the end fell off as I found an unbeatable setup. The comedy and parody’s in the game were entertaining and it’s not often I actually read every text. Playing on an iPhone 8 I had no battery issues and only experienced 2-3 crashes which were on startup never during playing. The only reason for rating it 4.5 and not 5 is it’s a bit easy towards the end and gets abit repetitive but the storyline kept me wanting to carry on. At 6.99 it is abit expensive and whilst it does have some replay ability - once you know the combos and know the storyline I have no desire to go through it again. ### 5/5 — Worth. *2018-08-12* This is a very well-crafted game. It has more complexity than most app games, but doesn’t go overboard with it. The story is funny and personable; it makes you want to play it through to see what happens. To the developers: thank you. I really enjoyed playing your game. ### 3/5 — Entertaining game but a severe battery hog... *2018-07-19* The game’s writing is well-done, the mechanics work well - a pretty fun game in general. But holy jeebus does it eat battery power; just a couple of hours in-game will eat 50% or more of an iPad pro’s charge. ### 5/5 — Amazing vibe! *2018-07-07* This game is smart, funny and cute. I love all the puns and crisp juicy graphics. It’s awesome. ### 5/5 — Cool, good and a bit confusing *2018-06-10, version 1.0.4* I love this game, I normally don’t buy games, but after playing their blacksmith game I just had to give this one a chance. My o my it was worth this game has so much animation and lively hood, if you like games where you can command a team if free to get one specific task done, this game is for you. And also, yah you know if you like space and space battles. The story telling is nice too, I like how it’s not so animated that it’s flashing looking, but it locks you in to the point where you want to finish the mission just to see the next story and progress to the end. Lastly, the confusing part, this game does have a good crafting system, but it’s just kinda confusing how to know what you’re weapon grade is or going to be. P.S developers if you’re reading this can you answer me this. Does the grade of the weapon depend on the level of the person making it or the the level of their weapon crafting skill, or is it just... luck based. Whelp that was my review, over all a good game if you want to have fun without breaking the bank this is the way to go, enjoy. **Developer response:** Hey legoslayer, Sorry for the late reply. We are glad to hear that you enjoy our game. Also, for your question, I would say that the grade of the weapon does depend on luck, but the probability of getting a S-grade weapon also increases as the crafting skill level of your crew increases. So yup, it is a combination of luck and skill :) ### 4/5 — Need Korean language support *2018-05-25* I used to play Holy potatoes weaponshop on PC. Your games are better to play via mobile device than PC, I thnick. Very nice. Anyway, please consider supporting Korean language! **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback :D We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our games, and will be looking into localisation for Korean. Again, thank you for your support! ### 4/5 — High-resolution assets? *2018-04-09* Bought this when it launched but parts of it look horrible/pixelated on my 12.9” iPad Pro. Can you include better textures and art so everything looks crisp? Also, maybe increase the rendering resolution? Thanks! Otherwise, fun game! ### 5/5 — Soooo goood ^_^ *2018-03-30* I'm not 1 for FTL like games but this 1 was lots of fun. Couldn't put it down. Likes: -Love the charm of the chars and interactions - Love figuring out which dialogue trees were right - The different ways to build your ship - loads of hidden winks and nods to other media series -The soundtrack so good. I wish it could play besides when at the hub. Dislikes: - Only 1 save. I'd love to have a save for each path or build I like. Instead of having to wipe it completely. Is this cuz it's mobile? - Different skins for the ship. W/so much personality in the pilots, weapons, & crew it's a shame the ship color itself isn't in line. - # of available pilots. Sometimes it'll be 4 then 5. Plz make it at 5 random choices always. - Buff some weapon type. Some are just clearly not as potent as others. Not calling for nerfs but for others to be just as viable. - Harder difficulty setting. For those of us who want a harder challenge. I don't want an endless mode. Just a harder setting or 2. Wants: -MOAR CONTENT. it's so good. I needs it. -Rework of trauma center. It's pretty useless. Maybe with a difficulty spike it'll be worth something. But maybe it could grant pilot trait temporary buffs in addition to recover. -I wish there was a tree or a timeline indicator/visual to see what I haven't done. I've beaten it twice & don't know why I'm missing so many places for achievements. Not sure what I missed or how.. :( -Multiple save files that aren't wiped after restarting. I'd like 3...please? -soundtrack: somehow to play it as I'm traveling around the planets. A waste at the hub only. 10/5 stars will play again with more content. ### 5/5 — Save my progress please *2018-03-22* Tried to start this game numerous times. Devs say it game doesn’t start saving until after the tutorial. Please fix this. I don’t play mobile games for large blocks of time. I need to be able to complete the game in increments. If you do not intend to fix this in an update I would appreciate a refund. Seems like a game I could enjoy. **Developer response:** Dear Omegawylo! We are sorry for the inconvenience. After feedback from you and other players, we have decided to add the feature to save in tutorial. The update will be out soon! Thank you for letting us know about your experience. ### 5/5 — Hard? *2018-03-19* I must be really bad at this game because I have died on the first “level” or whatever like 4 times. I don’t think I fully understand the game yet but it’s really fun and will keep trying ### 5/5 — A very fun and giggleful game *2018-03-18, version 1.0.1* I enjoyed it, and consider it worth the time and money. Good bits: the early challenge level, the sense of exploration and the quirky humour. Average bits: one you have encountered the exploration options enough times you can predict the outcomes 100%of the time. The end game lost its challenge after you get the hang of hanging around in a sector for as long as you can to level up your ship and crew before moving on. The combat became repetitive once you have a couple of maxed out multi hit multi debuff weapons and abilities. Bad bits: drained my iPad battery a bit fast. Overall, totally worth the five stars and the weekend of giggle play. ### 5/5 — Really fun and challenging game *2018-03-09, version 1.0.0* It drains battery like anything (in a league with Civ 6) but it is a really good game with nice turn based combat and a huge plethora of customisation options. The story telling and humour are also great and it has some awesome pop culture references. Plays a little bit like a turn based ftl, with more humour. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — An uninspired FTL clone with tedious dialog *2018-08-01* There is nothing in this game that makes it in any way better than the source material. ### 1/5 — Boring and Unfunny *2018-03-31* The barrage of potato puns is hard to get past. The little cut scenes are poorly written and frankly boring. The game itself is dull. Surely you can find something more entertaining to do than this nonsense game. **Developer response:** Hey mate, we're sorry to hear that you feel this way. If you have any suggestions, we'd really appreciate it, especially as we're working on our newest game, Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?! right now. It would be great if we could figure out how to improve on our games so as to optimise every player's experience :) If you're interested, you could join our discord at https://discord.me/holypotatoes or drop us a mail to elaborate on your suggestions! ### 1/5 — Game Feezes/lack of instructions *2018-03-20* The game (Both) won’t advance past the tutorial...I nothing I do advanced the game and I’m stuck in an endless circle...I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!! Now!!!! **Developer response:** Hey mate, Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Could you please let us know where in the tutorial you are stuck? It could be that the tutorial needs you to use your shield or a pilot skill and if you shoot at the hull the enemy is invulnerable. You can take a look at the dialogue box to determine if this is the case. Alternatively, if you are stuck because you cannot click on the exit room button, please restart the game and slowly click through the text and you will notice the exit room button being in the right place. We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience and understanding. ### 1/5 — “Fetching Save Data” Bug *2018-03-08, version 1.0.0* Fix this, so I can proceed with my game. Can’t contact devs through game, as this endless Fetch message freezes any other interaction with the screen.I’ll amend my review after this has been remedied, apologies for the hostage-holding. ### 1/5 — Crashes consistently *2018-03-06, version 1.0.0* Can’t get more than one level past the tutorial without it crashing repeatedly. I’m on iPhone X, 256GB, so I imagine this may be a problem for most. Bummer - clever, fun little app until then. ### 1/5 — Can’t get pass tutorial. *2018-03-06, version 1.0.0* Exit button is covered up by ship name/status. Very disappointed because developer stated a fix would be pushed out last week. ### 1/5 — Is there a way to save progress? *2018-03-05, version 1.0.0* Tired of replaying tutorial. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2018-03-01, version 1.0.0* I can’t even get past the tutorial on my iPhone X because I can’t click the button to exit during the crafting portion. Literally stuck and can’t proceed only 2 mins into the game. ### 2/5 — Fun but buggy *2018-04-28, version 1.0.4* Fun little space exploration game, good writing and music - unfortunately it keeps randomly crashing. Will update rating if they fix it. ### 3/5 — Fun game, performance issues. *2022-10-11* Surprisingly this game regularly has problems loading into a scene on the newest iPad mini hardware. It makes the game an exercise of patience as you need to wait 5-10 seconds for each screen change. 20 if the weather decides to kick in during a fight. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A fun, well crafted game *2023-02-26, version 1.0.8* Really enjoyed this game. Kind of in the vein of FTL, but different enough to warrant being its own game. The game mixes humour with ship building and exploration. The jokes and puns come thick and fast which is great. It never takes itself seriously. It is very well balanced and never so hard you get frustrated. I nice array of achievements as well for those that are collectors. This would require a few playthroughs but thats fine as you can return to it any time. Top game. ### 5/5 — This series is super good *2021-08-10, version 1.0.8* Hey Daylight, is another Holy Potatoes game in the works? This series is great and I loved this and Spy Story and will definitely invest in Weapon Shop. And of course, I’ll play What The Hell on PS4 at some point. I’m eagerly awaiting your next game, even if it isn’t Holy Potatoes. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2021-07-19* I have had a blast playing this game, and I love all of it's quirky little allusions integrated into the storyline. It's gameplay mechanics make it one of my utmost favorite RPG's on mobile. ### 5/5 — Just great *2021-03-18, version 1.0.8* Excellent game! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-05-01* I think this is an awesome game extremely fun, I do think saving the game should be possible manually, other than that it is excellent. Excited to see other games from this developer. ### 5/5 — Loved it! Thank you for making it free *2020-04-01* The game is very entertaining and polished. Love the witty story and the cultural references. Thank you for making it free during this difficult time ### 5/5 — Incredible game! *2020-03-30, version 1.0.8* Hilarious, challenging, addictive, and downright fun to play. The game gives variety and challenge without being overly complicated or drawn out. Lots of fun, highly recommend ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-03-30* This is so underrated, such an amazing game. ### 5/5 — Thank you. *2020-03-27* I was just checking out your games yesterday and considered buying one. Looking at my budget, I stopped myself because I don’t know how things will turn out with the current pandemic. We’re all facing an economic downfall in one way or another during these times...even you. Some developers are making good money during the quarantine but eventually, as more people lose jobs, sales will dip. I appreciate your choice to bring entertainment to my family and I at no cost. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOMS OF OUR HEARTS!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ### 5/5 — Well worth the time and money spent *2019-02-22, version 1.0.4* This is such a beautiful game with funny characters and light hearted story with space combat strategy game mechanics. I own both the pc version and the ios version and I find no fault in the ipad version. It’s a great game and would highly recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
