We interrupt your daily grub to bring you a new Potatostrike patch.  This is not a joke!

This patch has been cooking for a while now. Version 0.7.0 has a lot of changes, and a decent amount of new stuff too! Endless Mode has been added, allowing players to test their skill against opponents that progressively become harder to kill. Survive as long as you can to reach higher scores and greater bragging rights (do Potatoes even brag?).

Additionally, 5 new Potatoes have been added to the game. They all bring brand new mechanics to the game, from an Ordnance-focused playstile, to power-ups that grant you super powers! These Potatoes have to be unlocked to use, either through a specific score (with a brand new scoring system), or reaching a high enough COMBO (kills without getting hit).
