## What is PotatoArena?

POTATO ARENA · 500-wave thumb-controlled survival shooter

A roguelike shooter built for mobile. Drag with one hand to move; your weapon auto-aims — you focus on dodging, positioning, and knowing when to retreat.

[Features]

500 waves · 10-Act campaign
From the W1 sparrows to the W500 endgame, every Act brings new bosses, biomes, and enemy mixes — 14 enemy types + 13 bosses (9 Act bosses + 4 commanders).

27-node skill tree · 6 independent branches
Economy / Ranged / Explosion / Melee / Survival / Speed. Each node has 6 ranks (Iron → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Diamond → Rainbow). Build your own playstyle.

4 hidden build paths
- Lightning Hunter (R+P maxed) → Twin SMG + permanent +20% crit
- Iron Wall (M+S maxed) → Rune Greatshield + ignore one lethal hit per wave
- Munitions Engineer (G+E maxed) → Gold Bomb (damage = gold × 0.5) + 30% bonus kill gold
- Potato God (T6 maxed) → +30% to all stats

55 collectable skins
24 themes across 6 tiers: starter foods, advanced foods, meme faces, animal costumes, professions, ultimate rare. Earn 1 Star per level — permanent unlocks kept across runs.

Boss prep system
Before every Act boss, choose: pay gold for a king shield, OR empty your wallet for a legendary weapon + free shield.

16 weapons · each with its own playstyle
Pistol, SMG, shotgun, sniper, throwing knife, longsword, rocket, railgun, flamethrower, chain lightning, homing missile, boomerang, holy cannon...

[Why play?]

- True one-hand gameplay — commute, lunch break, before bed.
- Pure technical depth — positioning + build + skill tree path decide everything.
- Death is not the end — continue from the previous Act.
- Collection goals — 55 skins waiting to be unlocked.

[About in-app purchases]

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-18

1.0.4 — A few more people in the alley.

Chapter 4 opens. The first three are also rewritten.
Each chapter now has a local friend who stands beside you — they block bullets, take hits, and can be killed.

Scroll to the bottom of each letter. Something that wasn't there before will surface.
The story doesn't explain itself. You'll work it out.

— A few small things added too. You'll find them while playing.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-13

Potato Arena 1.0.1 — New enemies, smoother frames!

[Combat]
- Commanders now scale per Act (Act 10 ELITE: x8 HP, x4.5 rewards)
- Voidlord SHADOW USURPER outclasses elite + commands 4 spells
- Shielder HP x11, 80-segment shield ring — priority kill!
- Trapper releases bomb-worms when player is locked in a trap
- Lucky skill rework: increases elite enemy spawn rate

[Visuals]
- Twin SMG fires lightning-ball volleys; Flamethrower is now a single giant fireball
- Sandstorm / fog: clear bubble around player, opaque at distance
- Mud puddles now have organic shapes, each one unique
- Treasure chests vs. bomb crates: instantly distinguishable
- Auto-coalescing gold drops keep the screen readable

[Fixes]
- BGM recovers after silent mode / phone call / backgrounding
- Law-mage red ring no longer yanks you in if you ran out
- Bear traps no longer stack and lock you forever
- Bullets fired from inside shielder rings now visible

[Performance]
- Native 120Hz CADisplayLink pump — bypasses WebView's 60Hz cap
- Dynamic VFX scaling — auto-throttles when enemy count spikes
- Bomber explosion chain depth capped — no more frame stalls

Push through to Act 10!
