This was actually really fun and I'm glad there is a timer or I would've lost track of time. I didn't notice there were more fruit till about halfway through. My only real suggestion is to add some icons to the auto collector menu and some feedback when buying upgrades like a noise or even flash the UI. I wasn't sure I was upgrading till I saw the prices went up.

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback! I'm really glad you found it so much fun. I realize that lot of players didn't notice the other fruits (either at all or too late), way more often than I thought.
I think I've come up with the perfect solution : when a fruit is unlocked, in addition to the badge showing in the top right, I display a text like "Pears unlocked!" and the next time you open the upgrades menu, it opens on the page for the new fruit. This project has been an excellent opportunity for me to practice better UI design 😁
The game is already updated on itch, I've also added a sound effect for the Buy action, that was indeed missing.
I agree that the autoharvest page needs to look and function more like the upgrade page, it was a late addition to the game, making it look better is on my backlog.
Thanks again!
