By far my favorite game so far! :D

That audio in the beginning was really cool, I love your accent. xD

I'm gonna keep this game installed.

Really cool game ! I just found it difficult to aim precisely with the mouse while avoiding the ennemies... Beautiful voice in the menu too \o/

ndebruyn 2015-04-20 10:37

Hehehe, good game.
Love the movements, music and intro.
I don't like that you can't exit from the tutorial screen.
Well done other than that.

nice voiced over intro :D

yamzho 2015-04-20 10:43

Vey cool ! Nice intro voice ! (And yeah, why the heck not ?)

rudra 2015-04-20 10:50

The voice in the beginning was really cool !
Good Game, and yes, it was a bit difficult to aim at the enemies, but yes Good one :)

Fun game! But you should have made it easier to click on the fruits.

kaiseangames 2015-04-20 10:56

Nice take on the theme. I find aiming too hard, timing seems to be off all the time as you are moving, but I guess I'm just bad at these kinds of games. :)

manicminer 2015-04-20 10:59

I found this weirdly hard - too many things to keep track of at once! - seriously though this is a nice entry. Cool take on the theme, and I really DID want to know what all the fruit did

pi_pi3 2015-04-20 11:00

Aiming is a bit hard, but otherwise it's 4/5

multiplexor 2015-04-20 11:07

I like the concept, I think it could make for a nice roguelike game.

As other people said, it's a bit hard to control and aim tough

nilq 2015-04-20 11:28

The grapihcs and the gameplay are awesome! Great idea.

rg_rem 2015-04-20 11:36

intro is really cool

braindeadgeo 2015-04-20 11:41

haha, i got a bit of a fright with the intro voice! Certainly an unusual take on the theme :)

notrorschach 2015-04-20 11:41

Great audio and concept.

deadarius 2015-04-20 11:43

Sick, bro.

papygaragos 2015-04-20 11:45

It was a bit hard to keep track of everything, and the aiming was really unprecise

xgor 2015-04-20 11:46

Would have been amazing if you voiced more stuff in the game.

strega 2015-04-20 12:09

Pretty awesome! and nice tutorial. I wish when I clicked it would launch the closest fruit to my mouse regardless if I click near the fruit or not.

nuclear-mosquito 2015-04-20 18:28

I love the overall idea of the game, but it doesn't feel like you spent time to make the controls feel nice, which ruins the game for me. I had a really difficult time hitting enemies.

FRUIT SALAD: IN SPACE! 2015 Edition! WITH LIKE FIVE FONTS!

I enjoyed this game, especially the intro.

calavera 2015-04-20 23:21

Awesome! great audio and use of theme.

dix 2015-04-21 11:11

Nice game :D Cool graphics and idea :D

juniorus 2015-04-21 12:44

Challenging game!

BTW I have an Azerty keyboard... it's always a bit annoying to switch to a Qwerty configuration in the middle of the game.

Also, I didn't see any fruit to grab in the tutorial :/

embalaje 2015-04-21 15:48

Ey! That´s a nice game. I enjoied discovering what each fruit can do. Good variation of asteroids!

Very difficult but not frustrating, makes you want to play again.

dyfer 2015-04-21 16:31

lol prety funny one,

simianlogic 2015-04-21 22:13

The intro was pretty funny, but I the gameplay was really hard to figure out. I was never sure which fruit was going to launch and they all seem pretty underpowered for how quickly the enemies take you down.

catman 2015-04-22 08:03

Nice idea, the mechanics work really well!

cgmorton 2015-04-22 17:12

Grapes are the only fruit for me. Every other fruit is terrible by comparison.

blodey 2015-04-23 08:52

very fun game! i love having the all little pieces of melon and spamming them away :3 the intro was funny, but wow it's annoying after so many game overs XDD

skywolf 2015-04-23 10:07

Thanks everybody for the kind comments.

I guess that shooting the fruit in the (fruit-character) direction was a bad design choice because it made it look "imprecise". Maybe it should have "followed" the mouse instead. Lesson learned!

About the intro, it was very fun to make and i'm happy it's funny to listen to. Sorry for that accent, english it's not exactly my native language. xD

@cgmorton yeah, indeed grapes are overpowered, although they are slighty more rare. If i recall the weights correctly.

aaronjbaptiste 2015-04-25 17:37

All round greatness. You da man son.

tompudding 2015-05-10 21:40

Fantastic idea, great game. It was so rare that I managed to hit things with the fruits I think I'd like them to do more damage, but otherwise super

plustech 2015-05-11 15:27

My favorite was the grapes, was easier to landed. A little too difficult to wait for the fruits to also click on the right one and also avoiding bullets. I would like to play a different option on the controls, maybe the fruits could be stacked and then you just need to point with the mouse to the direction you want to send it. Anyways, good amount of content and features. Good job overall
