This game made me smile! 

I loved playing through to get all the fruits and trying to escape. The spamming space bar was a very enjoyable penalty for death. 

My only problem was that sometimes I would respawn outside of the superma- I mean humanmart and would be stuck outside. Perhaps simply moving the respawn point farther away from the wall would work?

Stellar game, deserves more ratings!

The idea is interesting and the gameplay is fun.

Some bitter points:

  • Sometimes, actually often, player is being respawned outside of the supermarket and the movement speed there is very slow so I had to restart the game every time. Seems like a bug, and it has to be fixed as this is a major drop point.
  • Some tutorial is highly appreciated, even a text block on game start would help.
  • The game lacks a clear goal, or I missed it. Consider adding the timer or something else clearly defining where the game ends.

Had a lot of fun! Music is perfect for the vibe

It would be a nice addition if collected fruits get checked in the list on the left if you plan to further extend the game

After the first level, the game froze with a view of the “Humanmarket.” The fruits looked funny; I would have liked to see how it continued.

Fun concept for a game, had to check it out. Only main issue I encountered was game froze after I collected all the fruit on the first level. Really creative idea and I liked it, congrats on your first jam!

I loved the look of it. Once I collected all the fruit though, the game just got stuck

Fun game! Driving and collecting was a little weird at first, but after a while I got used to it. Visuals and audio is pretty well done. After I collected all running fruits (could not see any other left) game kinda crashed/stoped. Anyway, very cool game jam project!
