How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Tomatoes are what you destroy. Fail by using a cannon the wrong way to win.

I also failed by mistaking when deadline was and then having about 3.5 hours to rush through the whole project, hence why this game has about 20 seconds of gameplay and almost no polish :) learning experiences though, right?

Oh my god I agree with the comment below, I didnt expect it to be this much fun what!!

First congrats on your first ever jam submit. And I definitely agree with you that even if you think your game doesn't have much, submitting is always the correct choice.

I know you said there isn't restart key, so I'll just ignores it

The chore mechanic is really fun and it's really satisfying to use. But I don't really see how this fits well with the theme of 'failure'.  The tomato in this game also doesn't really play much role as it could be anything else and it wouldn't change a thing.

Considering you have 3.5 hours, then this is quite a lot and I don't really have anything to says.

Wow... thanks a ton!!  I'm thrilled that people are actually having fun with this 😂

My thought with failure is that you're failing in how to properly use a cannon, as intentionally launching them around is a bizarre way to use them.  And that's a fair point with the tomatoes, I was gonna add some splashy effects for when they get wrecked.

Thank you much again.  Really glad you enjoyed the core mechanic!

I didn't expect this game to be so fun!! For the time it was made in, it's quite impressive :)

Well thank you!! I probably had about 3 minutes to make levels 2, 3, and the you win screen 😂

First ever game jam.  Disclaimer: this game has almost no content.

A/D keys to rotate, space to fire the cannon.   Sorry nothing happens if you fall off the map, you'll have to manually restart the game.

After mistaking what time this jam ended... I wound up having about 3.5 hours to create this, hence why it lacks in polish.  And content.  And gameplay.

 Figured I'd publish anyways.   Feedback appreciated if you enjoyed anything about the microscopic amount of gameplay ya get.
