Catch fresh potatoes to make potato stew! Touch stockpots to jump and catch potatoes thrown from the right side. If they catch a rotten potato, you lose the stockpot. But if they catches a heart item, a stockpot comes back. - More right stockpot earns more score. If they get potatoes continuously without missing them, the 'combo' counter increases and you can get more score. - This game doesn't support multi-touch so that you can play simply with one finger.
