hi!
thank you so much for the thoughtful comment about the whole game! im so happy you played, it means a lot to me :)
there are 3 fruits though! then you unlock the door (in the yellow castle) to the ending! you'll know when you reach the end as there are very short credits :) still sounds like you found pretty much everything else though well done!
i hoped it wouldn't be confusing with the houses but they are just there to be cute + only some of the npcs you can make happy... i can see how this is confusing sorry :p
just downloading your game now, the art-style looks really good :)
many many thanks - fruit friend 🍓
