Whaaa... I like the black and white text at the front. I think there are some typo there.
Just hear about Bear engine by the way. Nice... Keep your good work on creating games... Cheers :)
Good Works Very Nice
HIGH SCORE: 107
Great job on your first compo, especially considering how late you got started!
It's super fun that made an old school arcade-y game and made a fake boot screen as your title - very creative and it definitely piqued my interest!
The game itself is surprisingly interesting for how simple it is - the low jump height and long enemy fall/sideways movement combined quite well. I was constantly positioning myself based on how I could dodge the incoming enemies, but then needed to collect those apples!
Tweaks I would have made -
Make the apples worth more (5 or 10) and give the player a single point for each enemy they successfully dodge. Makes the game feel more involved/active, while still keeping the player's focus on the apples.
Prevent enemies from spawning in un-dodgeable patterns - this happened to me once or twice, was kind of frustrating. Might be tricky to do if you are just spawning them in randomly though.
Use a pixel font - the sans serif font you used kind of stuck out, seemed like it wasn't an active design choice. A pixel font of some kind would have fit the aesthetic - perhaps you could look up an old Atari or Commodore font!
Your sounds were great and fit the game well, but some were not well balanced in terms of volume - a few sounds were too quiet, a few too loud. Nothing Audacity can't fix.
Anyway, great job regardless! Your game was very fun to play!
You juiced those 9 hours good :)
I like the old-school terminal menu, I kind of expected either a hacking game, or a text adventure.
About the game itself - it's good. Not original or innovative, just some good ol' classic catching thingy. It doesn't insult, it doesn't impress, but it's quite fun :)
Good work!
