Cool game! The mechanics are done really nicely and work well together. Bombing the lizards and picking up apples felt really nice. I felt that the apple spawn time was a bit so slow though, you'll eventually reach a point where even if you successfully collect the apple every time it still wouldn't be enough to keep you alive.

Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I’m really glad you liked the mechanics. You’re totally right about the apple spawn rate — I might tweak that post-jam to keep the balance tighter. Appreciate the feedback!

Fun game! Love the apple beam up mechanic and blasting the critters with the bombs. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks! That apple beam was one of my favorite mechanics to work on! Glad you had fun!

Really nice at one point I was just blasting those damn critters!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you had fun blasting those little pests!

Nice game! It's fun to play. And it looks cute. Wonderful!  The only suggestion I will give is to make the bomb AOE, that's what I want when I bomb a frog and another frog instant picks it up. Little bastards!

Thanks a lot! Good idea about the bomb AOE — I’ll think about adding it. Glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty cute little game. Enjoyable for such simple aesthetics. Took me a sec to realize what to do until I actually read the controls! I like the way the beam rotates as well, nice little touch. In case you're interested in continuing it, one small bug (feature?) I noticed was that if an apple seems to hit two crocs at the same time, they both get an apple. Keep it up!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the heads-up on that bug — I’ll definitely look into it. Appreciate the feedback!
