Great suggestion on the shot reset button. Yes, when you know you're going to miss that far target it does take a little while to finish it's landing.
Tutmo can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the red targets are worth different amounts. The back one is the only one that has a different amount and was added to provide another layer of challenge. I think we spent a majority of the time trying to implement the first layer of challenges for the player (just chucking the pumpkin) that we didn't have time to think about how add progression and additional challenges to our targets. It's been a big takeaway for us this jam.
Thanks for your feedback, Studio Bright!
