I love the simplicity of the game and the visuals. You could thing a way to continue it adding new mechanics, I'd play it :D.

Good job! Very cute and fun :)
Love the lyrics still!!!

So cute. That look of the little poor appricot. Reminds me of Markiplier's Tiny Box Tim :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4hZT6XCCp8

Best soundtrack of Ludum Dare 37!

Thank you for making this. It is delightful.

Haha I went out through the window and started dropping that apricot like an idiot looking for that last spot.

Finally caved and watched the walkthrough. (thanks for putting that up!)

Very chill and enjoyable little game!

Motion blur seems unnecessary, but the apricot is cute! And the music helps sets the mood well.

I found myself wierdly into this game :D Simply and nice !

What it lacks in replayability it makes up for with cute catchiness!

The apricot is adorable and if I had a heart it would melt(but I don't). The gameplay wouldn't work in any other scenario but it's just excuse for playing with that lil cute apricot <3. The sound was awesome (where did you get the tune). Visually it's really really pretty. Nice use of motion blur.

Complains:
- Need pointer in the middle of the screen. It was difficult to grab apricot
- After droping apricot to the bin it's difficult to pick it up (you can't see it)
- Ocasional bugs and big white overlighted ceiling.

I'm deeply ashamed to say it but it's probably the best entry I have seen so far. (I'm really disgusted by saying this but it's true)

Perfectly delivers a short excessively fun experience. I found the apricot a little difficult to pickup.

Well done!

t4U! Thanks for the detailed feedback. We made the music ourselves using garage band and DesignerNap's voice :)

So cute ! But the controls make it less cute though, when you can't pick up the Apricot and when the games can't be finished (I did not manage to).
But cute and fun ! :)

This is really cute and the music was a nice touch, but the performance was really bad for me. It was probably running at ~15 fps at best. Might've been nice to be able to turn off the post-processing (especially the motion blur).

I also noticed you could clip through the ceiling by standing on the couch and accidentally launched the apricot out of the room by dropping it there.

Hahahaha really great humor. Well done.

Apricot Drop poum poum Apricot Drop poum poum poum one two three four five six Apricot Drop - an amazing experience for a minimalist gameplay. I had fun playing it. One of my favorites. And this song :)

Couldn't emulate the game on Linux Mint using Wine sadly :(
From the video it looks very cute and funny ^^

jupiter_hadley 2016-12-16 23:17

Cute game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/jkCKtsfy-DM

Cute game and quite different. I liked the music that played when you dropped the apricot. I would've never guessed you needed to drop it on another sofa. I kept trying to drop it out the window.

It would be nice if it was more obvious to the player about when they could pick up the apricot. I spent a lot of time adjusting the camera to try and pick it up.

riftpoint 2016-12-20 23:50

Very interesting game! The song refuses to leave my head. Amazing entry

jimmothysanchez 2016-12-22 05:17

Most charming game I've played this jam.

rburema 2016-12-23 13:58

Well that made me smile... a lot :-)
It wasn't a big issue, but maybe a crosshair would help, since I occasionally clicked next to the dropped apricot instead of on it.

Cute game.

nixxor 2017-01-02 21:13

Thanks for playing and for all the feedback everyone! I have just made some post competition changes to the game so it now has a cursor and when the apricot is lost, it will re-spawn on the side again.
