A game about slicing apples definitely fits the theme! With the amount of time you had left in development, it would've been cool to have some sound or music. I noticed that the apples wouldn't slice the closer they were to the handle, so maybe there's something off about the colliders around there. Otherwise nice work!

a bit of a slice/tiling animation would have helped the apples to appeal a bit more to the theme. you had plenty time left. in the current state it’s not so much into the theme, the apples could as well be coins and the knife could be a bag and you try to just catch coins. so it’s a bit like a template to be adapted to whatever theme may come, but i miss that spicy little feeling that tells me, it’s made extra for this jam.
