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.

ProgressBar95's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 40) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
