Thanks for the feedback!
1) Yes you're right the game has a few more queries now, I'm trying to optimise that. Can you tell me what kind of system you are playing on?
2) The fruits are always consumed from left to right, it's best to try to press in the centre. Unfortunately I can't get the query to work better without the game losing even more performance.
3) As Harly already said, the apple only works when you "run".
Thank you both!
