Hot Potato Games
Real games. Real plays. Three numbers.
Hot Potato Games ships small games on a tight loop. $HPG is the in-game token. hotpotatogames.com is the front door. Whether the studio is working comes down to who launches a game, who signs up to play, and who actually sits down and plays one.
games
Shipped titles. Playable. Live on the site. Not "in dev" — actually launched.
emails
Players on the list. Sign-ups via Play Now, leaderboard, $HPG drop announcements.
game sessions
Actual plays. Each session is a person sitting down to play, finishing or not. The only number that says anyone cares.
Summer-26 is the first season HPG counts plays instead of just titles.
If we ship games and nobody sits down, that's a UX problem we can name. If they sit down but don't come back, that's a game problem. The numbers separate the two.
Three deliverables, one season.
Automation for the launch pipeline. Testing for the play loop. UX for the leaderboard onboarding. All shipping as posts you can run.
