Hot Potato is a chaotic vertical thrower where you launch a potato between heated platforms. Land it on the top platform? +3 throws. Toss it back down? +3 more. But wait too long and the platforms overheat — draining your throws and forcing you to move fast or flame out.
The entire game is powered by HTML5 Canvas and raw JavaScript, with a hand-rolled physics system that handles gravity, collisions, timing, and inertia. Every reload creates a new platform combo, giving players endless variations and fast-paced unpredictability.
Building Hot Potato leveled up skills in canvas rendering, interactive physics logic, event timing, and procedural layout generation — proving that even classic playground games can be transformed into dynamic web experiences with nothing but code and creativity.
