i had fun with this one! there's definitely a learning curve to play well but once i got the hang of it it was very enjoyable. i think it would be nice if the fairy could fly as fast as the fruit falls - there's not much room for hesitation when the fruit starts to fall. i'll definitely revisit this one though - my current high score is 12 but i bet i can get to 20 :)

Thank you for your kind comment!
I don't think I want to increase the fairy's normal move speed as that makes it too hard to control and aim. If you hold SPACE while moving you can move very fast. But even with that extra speed, you are right that there isn't much time to react, especially when the fruit first appears.
I'm thinking about adding a little warning icon indicating where the fruit will first fall from. That would give the player more time to react. Once the fruit is in-play I think there is enough reaction time as long as the fruit doesn't hit the sides of the mushroom.
Thanks again for taking the time to review my game! I hope you can reach your goal of 20!

i like that idea! i didn't catch the "space for fast movement" instruction the first time around but playing through a second time, i found myself glued to it. so maybe having the fast speed be the default speed would be good.
i like the warning idea! i think that would be super helpful.
nice work again :D this is one of my favs i've played so far in this jam and i've revisited it quite a few times.
