One thing I might add is the option to retry using the keyboard. I prefer to play using the arrow keys, so replaying involves taking my hand off the keyboard, clicking with the mouse, then going back to the keyboard. Letting the player retry with, for instance, 'Enter' or 'R' would make the experience more seamless.
I like that the fruits fall at different speeds, which makes the player consider whether they should commit to being in a particular area for one fruit or risk going for a faster falling fruit and then returning. Having the fruit type and their sizes determine their point value would add more depth to the gameplay and lead to more occurrences of the situation that I described earlier.
I don't know why, but I find the juxtaposition between the calming forest scenery and the energetic rock music amusing.
A simple fruit catching game set to an epic theme.
The thing is that I would not be able to update the game for the duration of the jam because I would be going for a trip. Maybe in future I would update the game
Nice! Great job and congratulations on your game! I could keep playing this for a long time.
Like DonyThePony said, different scores for different fruits could give the game a little more depth and there are some optional easy opportunities to add some juice to this game to make it more appealing. You could add a sparkle or some other kind of animation and a sound when the fruit lands in the chest. You could even make the fruit bounce if it hits the edge of the chest.
One thing I do recommend changing is the default volume of the music because it plays quite loud at the minimum volume in my headphones. When I launched it, my volume was quite a lot higher. You don't want to make people scramble to reach the volume controls.
Currently, it is effortless to decide which fruit to pick up because all of them give the same points. Maybe that's something that could be changed to give another challenge.

Great job on making a fun game!

Oh dear god the music made me laugh so hard. Did not expect that from the screenshots or anything else on the page. That shit is banging!
The game itself is pretty nice, if a bit simple. I like that you took the time to make the screen shake slightly when you collect a fruit.
Anyway I'm gonna go headbang until I break my neck now
Please be more careful with the sound level, like my volume wasnt high but I got jumpscared, my high score was 15 and the game itself woks fine.

Keep it up the good work!
Really cool implementation of the Idea and Theme!
