Hahah. More fun than I expected! The stacks of fruit definitely show themselves after it's too late to do anything about it though. Wonderful physics and pretty graphics.

Loved the nyancat shooting through. You did an awesome job with the art and feel of the game, just needs some more time to clean up gameplay and bugs.

But I love tomatoes!

Don't like the dying when getting too big!

I really like the concept you have here. Lovely graphics and the music is nice enough. :) A couple of glitches, like tomatoes generating too suddenly to dodge or generating too closely together to jump over. But overall, this is really entertaining, even addicting, little game!

Thanks, everyone. I did like the art style I went with!
And yes, lack of time to finish it is what made it not quite as good as it could've been. Needed to fix the collisions between the candy/tomatoes too, but lack of time... ;)

Just noticed a new bug that got past me somehow. When you lose and you "play again", as soon as you collect a powerup after that you cannot jump very high at all. So it's best to refresh the page and reload the entire game to get the most out of your multiple plays… Working on fixing that bug in a new version.

Hmm, that's weird. Seems I was wrong about this bug. It was of my own doing in my post-LD project, haha. It's perfectly fine in the LD48 version above. So disregard that bug report...

One word. Nyan cat

Nice little game, I like the graphics and the randomness. I think all candies should have the same basic design, though. When the tall one appears you don't know if it's good or bad at first. Also, it should be the other way around, you should avoid candy and eat tomatoes! :p

Lol for Nyan Cat! I liked it, dude, just wish the controls were a little tighter. The ball feels too heavy :}

Good job!

The cat is AWESOME!

Nice game. Liked the audio.

Nice little game.

First i thought, the ball is only shrinking when rolling, or moving in general, but the shrinking depends on the time.

And tomatoes are not that evil ;)

This turned out to be pretty fun once I got into it. My high score was 1188. Nice job!

Lovely little game, well done, nice to see a level of polish too - I have to start making simpler games in future.

Dave says: Fun little game! The music was nice. Only thing I found was that the ball controls felt a little floaty.

I felt a certain desire to go to the grocery store and acquire some unhealthy products after playing this game.

It's fun, and you did well not to give up the 48h (I, on the other hand, am a "loser" and did just that... in the end the game turned out incomplete anyway :D). If you're at all interested, my suggestion is working on tighter controls for the ball, to make it less frustrating.

See you next time!

Pretty fun game, although I hate to see tomatoes vilified :)
