Loved it! Very simple but sooo fun. The balancing between rounds works great, it even has an intro! Well done!!!

Simple concept but very well executed! Nice job.

Fun simple concept executed with good ammount of humor. Liked the fruit variety

Man, those carrots are fast!

Such a beautiful looking game. Very well done in creating crisp controls as well, impressive entry! :) Maybe I didn't get far anough, but I personally would like it, if every once in a while a "heart"-projectile would be flying around between the other obstacles, to get a chance of regenerating some lost health.

Hopefully, someone can reunite him with his horse! :horse: Keep jamming :)

@robin-schmitz that's pretty good advice, I have the feeling that it gets too hardcore towards the end. Couldn't go past round 9 myself (it's just 10 rounds long). I hope some perseverant dude will see the ending scene :sweat_smile:

Hey dude! It's a catchy one, got lost in it for a few minutes! Great art btw, did you opted out the category?

ironcutter 2022-10-04 21:03

@erlioniel thank you! I opted out 'cause trees and knight/horse graphics were pre-made assets.

Loved the bass heavy music, and the fact that all projectiles vanished after ten seconds made the genre oddly strategic. I enjoyed it. Lil hard for me.

Really fun dodging all the different kinds of fruits. I especially liked how the different fruits had different patterns / speeds. I appreciated the funny dialogue as well. Great work!

Loved this little game! Simple but fun, good controls with a great sense of humour! A little thing, but I really loved that the watermelon projectile split into multiple pieces. I was very happy to be reunited with my horse! Great job!

round 8 here! Nice job!

jonrei 2022-10-06 18:29

Damn watermelons!

correia-de-brito 2022-10-06 21:08

The horse will be my favourite character from this jam for sure. Great!

wildmusketeer 2022-10-07 02:47

Hahaha I really love the concept + humor in this! Just a simple bullet hell game execute very well. Love the chill music + fruits being thrown at you. And I thought the watermelon daggers were bad, then I realized the carrot daggers were personal! But I did it! survived.PNG And here I did the crazy impossible, but the horse was still MVP :sweat_smile: Anyways, really great minigame entry! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

i like it, but i suck so i died. good work

tigerfinch 2022-10-09 12:14

A very polished jam game with a fun simple core mechanic. The way you fall over when you die made me laugh out loud. Well done!

alex-de-la-cour 2022-10-09 12:33

Straightforward to start with but well paced - it definitely gets difficult and bonkers out of hand as the levels progress! Very well implemented movement and a good dose of humour.

samuli 2022-10-09 12:34

Really good entry! Not really a bullet hell, but like the horse, I don't think you should care what genre pedantics like me think. I beat it without taking a single hit on the 2nd try. As most projectiles are shot toward the player it is easy to kite them to shoot into favorable directions.

skleembof 2022-10-09 12:53

That was fun! I got to the end in 3 attempts and my horse defeated the fruit bandits. The pacing felt really good, the short rounds made it easy to decide to keep replaying until I beat it. Round 9 was really hard but I think round 10 ends early because it felt much shorter than the others, although I didn't keep track of the time (might be a glitch).

paveldlouhy 2022-10-16 14:58

I enjoyed playing your game. I liked warning signs before bullets. There are well chosen GFX assets and suitable audio! Also, color palette seems to be nicely put together. It is very polished entry! I really have nothing to add here. Wait! I have an idea now! It would be (maybe) interesting to spawn some item to slow down the time (when picked up) or something like that... Good job. :smiley:

ironcutter 2022-10-16 16:02

@paveldlouhy thank you! Slowing down time seems a really nice idea. Didn't really have the time to think about powerups during the jam

postfrog 2022-10-17 23:55

Can't believe the horse did me dirty like that

yword 2022-10-19 17:49

Yeah, I survived! Very challenging and addictive, with funny plot, nice music and SFX too! Nice work! Screenshot 2022-10-20 014631.png

johnnysix 2022-10-19 21:13

Very cool, I struggled once the super-fast fruit started flying haha. Love the art style , the music and the sound fx.

Fun and beautiful game. Everything looks simple but complete. I enjoyed playing your game. Great result!

carlos-cadori 2022-11-23 14:53

Hey, I'm glad my art helped you in your project (trees), I loved your game, it is simple and very fun. Though I could only reach the 8th level since I'm quite bad in bullet hell games haha.

ironcutter 2023-02-07 19:23

Haha, I'm glad you liked it @carlos-cadori! Doing graphics is my personal enemy when I make games alone, and great free assets like yours really help save the day. Thanks again!
