Theme interpretation
I went with the definition "a hit or thrown ball that travels a great distance with a high trajectory." This is why the main form of attack in my game is by throwing balls at the enemies.

Fun game, the graphics are cute, I especially like the fruit creatures themselves. It's a good concept that provides for addictive gameplay, I do wish there were features such as a chance for healing drops and power-ups to liven things up, but it is really enjoyable as it is.

Really cool game :)

Nice to see a game that is not in space (for once).

The gameplay is cool and challenging, if you don't kill ennemies fast enough it kind of become a bullet hell.

The art is pretty too, good job !

Man, I had a lot of fun playing this. The art is cute, music is playful and fun, the gameplay is challenging.

I was confused at first about the player projectiles turning maroon and continuing to bounce after hitting an enemy, but it seems like that's probably to keep the player from just spamming balls at the enemies. I tried that in one of my attempts and ended up getting killed by the rebounding balls. Brilliant. I do wish they'd stayed teal colored though.

Overall, I love it. I like the small, square window, and the adorable sprites. Its just a neat little game. A fun way to kill a few minutes. Well done!

Great! I always wanted to defeat fruits with my balls. The music is super funky and annoying at the same time. In other words perfect arcade game music. The game quickly becomes impossible, but I guess that is the point. The level design could have been more elaborate :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes! Awesome music and a nice dynamic feel (those juicy, bouncy animations). Awesome retro graphics and solid but challenging gameplay. I like the fruity theme, even if I'm not 100% convinced that it matches 'moonshot' in my personal opinion. Not sure if its possible to restore the players health, I feel like that would be nice to prolong the rounds, sometimes I felt like I was losing a lot of health in a short period of time (maybe add some invincibility frames after taking a hit?)  also more feedback that one has been hit would be nice. You could definitely expand this with more levels and variety in my opinion!

I was planning to add more levels, but I couldn't due to the time.

But thanks for the feedback :)
