Loved the game, however one issue I had (especially on repeat playthroughs) the apple-picking sequence is very difficult for people with visual impairments, particularly colour-deficiency, and I end up spending a good 15-20 minutes on that sequence alone.
Having the apples be more visible, either with an extra pattern on them, a glow of some kind, perhaps a more intense colour, or if adjusting the visuals is not possible, then allowing the player to skip the collection on the second try.
Thanks for making such an excellent game!
