Brotato is a top-down arena auto-shooter roguelite by Blobfish where you play as a gun-toting potato surviving waves of alien enemies. Between waves you visit the shop to buy weapons and items, so knowing the keyboard shortcuts for rerolling, locking, and purchasing is just as important as knowing how to move.
