I managed to live for 195 secs by staying in one place and spamming the buttons!

Anyway, its got a lot of appeal. Good job!

I like the game, the only issue I've noticed is that the bullets are a little bit too small and It's anxious to press the button every time. 3/5

Fun little twin stick shooter. Maybe include an auto shoot mechanic so you don't have to press the button every single time.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. That might be an idea that is worth exploring.

The idea is great but the execution is even better! the music and art fit together really nice and are really well done and the gameplay keeps it simple but never boring. I did find the best strategy for me was to hide behind a wall and spam shots in all directions so maybe make a way to keep the player from doing that cause it kinda optimizes the fun out of it. Great work!

Thanks a lot for playing!
I agree, that preventing  or making it harder to use some "optimization strategies" would be benefical.

At first I thought 'this is kind of slow', then suddenly 'that's A LOT of apples', so it perfectly fit the theme. Had a lot of fun as the speed picked up

I love the sense of humour this game's premise has, it feels like it's along the same vein as 'an apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough'. I also like the energy/vibe this game gives off. You can feel your apple-based doom approaching. ;P

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm especially happy you liked the humour :)

I like it! simple yet effective game mechanic! I really wished for an auto-shoot when apples became really a lot, that could make a great powerup!! Nice music too! Well done!

This is really well done, simple mechanics and gameplay but well executed. Really gets stressful when there are apples all over the level and you nailed the theme. I just want the apples to explode when they die haha! Great work!

Thanks so much!

When the game started there weren't many apples so I was disappointed but oh boi was I wrong, there really was a lot of apples! I enjoyed blasting those pesky apples back to the juices but I feel the firing speed should have been limited. I could basically hide in a corner and spam arrows to blast everything away, not having to worry about them coming even remotely close to me. That is until my fingers got tired lol Overall, I liked the experience!

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Yeah, I agree, some fine tuning of the firing speed was definitely on our list, but unfortunately to far down on it ;)
