I found it simple and fun. The music also works well, but the difficulty progression could use some polish. I felt like the screen was suddenly filled with obstacles, and I couldn't do anything.

Still, it's a great job! :D

It's a fun game, I really liked the character, it looks like you're playing with your fingers, the music is appropriate

Difficulty seemed to scale exponentially or something like that which made it suddenly very difficult, I honestly found that to be fun but maybe some people wouldn't like it (it also meant more watermelons which was nice). Because of that the start is a bit too easy imo but I understand that it's pretty hard to balance properly. Love the idea of the shop where you can equip different perks, I'd love to see more of them! I didn't find any bugs, gameplay felt very polished, art is also very cute. Oh and a question, are the levels going to do anything in the future (other than achievements) or are they just there to flex on my friends?  What I'd still love to see is perhaps some powerups you can unlock which can fall down as you play or something similar to that. Overall this is pretty good, I played it for quite a bit.


Got a pb of 283 :O (no idea if that's good lol)

Very cute game and the music was nice and chill! The slime was also cute. I would have liked a bit more of a connection to the theme but overall nice work!

I like the feel this game gives off, good job!

Thanks!

It's cool and cozy, but i think it needs more variation to be more hard. Cute graphics tho! :3

Developer

I'll do that! Thanks!

cute vibes with this game! i like how the watermelons incentivize you to keep moving around. the upgrades are a nice touch too. 

Developer

Thanks so much! Loved your game btw

Cute little game!

I wish the requirements to unlock new characters were a bit lower because repeatedly catching melons with the same character got too repetitive after a while

Developer

Will do!

Really fun visuals and aesthetic! though, wish the objects came from the top instead of bottom since you would have more time to react to things coming at ya that way

Developer

Thanks! I want to update this game, so I will change that. Especially sense reaction timing seems to be a main issue in the game. Thanks!
