Rotato Potato

High vitamin 360° panoramic vegetable racer

The allotment is mutating! Take control of delirious vegetables as up to 4 players go head to head in a madcap race around a 62 meter panoramic screen. In what is possibly the first purpose-built 360 degree video game ever, Rotato Potato is set in a vegetable dystopia, where excessive GM modification has caused the allotments vegetables to mutate. Players must use speed, cunning and power-ups to outwit their opponents, while navigating the chaos of a level rotating in the opposite direction!

Rotato Potato was our second project for a panoramic igloo dome, after Drums in the Deep. Mutant Labs faced the challenge of producing a 62 meter wide game displayed via a rig of 5 projectors, that also looped flawlessly. We used an array of graphical and technical tricks from our arsenal to prime this game for its unique (huge) environment.side-shot-2 The game went down a storm at the ICCI festival in Plymouth, with people of all ages turning up to rotate some potatoes and get suitably dizzy in the process.
