Cool core mechanic, nice to see a game created with open bets of rage :D I did not get how the timing working, I assume it went up a bit when I collected the proper colored fruit. I also don't know if theres any and of the fruit collection, at a point I just gave up :D
Thumbs up for doing this all by yourself.
I enjoyed this game and liked your approach to the theme. I would however try and make it clearer how the timer works in relation to the game as at times it reached zero, but I couldn't tell what the affect was to the game as nothing seemed change other than timer being reset. Well done!
nice action and fun packed game that has potential to worked on even more overall had fun playing
Good use for theme... Nice gameplay as well... Though the visual can improve
Better using the theme in my humble opinion)
love the UI and overall game-feel. Fits together nicely. After a first fail I knew what to do :D
Very unique and interesting experience! I had a slot of fun playing this!! Great work
This is a lovely game! The basic loop is easy to understand and execute, and everything has a proper vibrancy to it. The requested fruit changing, as well as the very fact that you can eat fruit, though, could be communicated more clearly to the player since you otherwise run the risk of players going towards a certain fruit and being punished for it because it coincides with a fruit change. Nevertheless a really nice take on the genre!
I enjoyed the game a lot. Sometimes I got lost in the graphics, almost too colorful. Anyway, I appreciate that you made the whole game all by yourself!!
Bloodbane makes tons of amazing games, and I'm really surprised how he comes with the ideas and craft them my himself!
The music of your game is awesome! I caught myself singing it here a few times kkk The game is very good!
Points that I think could improve:
- Player shooting is not necessary, at least it doesn't make much sense as you can easily move and dodge between objects. It could be, maybe a PowerUp, something like that. I myself stopped shooting because it was better for me to consent to pick the correct fruits.
- It took me a while to realize that when I eat it changes the color too, and not just over the 10s. Could have warned before or done something for the player to realize this.
Overall very good game.
Cool game!
I would have liked a health indicator, I wasn't sure what triggered the game over after being hit
I liked how the high score was actually the score at the highest point during the run instead of at the end. The music was great too! Overall, very fun!
I really liked the music :) I do not know why but it makes me think of pacman!
Well done
Nice game. Controls were a bit finicky, and it was a bit confusing on the opening screens to "press start" but no obvious indication that you needed to press 'X'. Graphics were nice and simple, and the soundtrack was suitably frantic for the gameplay. A solid effort, well done!
I like the gameplay, it's a fun arcade-y take on theme. I found myself being caught out with the required fruit colour changing though, it'd be nice to have some kind of visual/audio cue to warn that the colours had changed. Also might be worth weighting the spawning of fruit, as it's possible to go quite a while without the requested colour spawning. Music was very good!
Cool game! I love the music! Took me a while but got the hang of it eventually. Actually the hardest part for me was to navigate using the numpad (because of using 2 for down instead of S using WASD which is directly under the "up key" - I hope that makes sense). Well done!

Really didn't get that much enjoyment out of the gameplay loop, didn't feel like there was much depth to it. The menus and options though were insane, impressive how much you managed to add in the timeframe! It looked very nice too, very cohesive style for it. I think the collider for the player could also use some resizing, I was hitting fruits that I feel I shouldn't have. A neat concept either way though!
Loved all the different fruits and their interactions!
The core gameplay loop works for a while, but it soon wears thin without any variety(ex. powerups). I've got to admit I'm not personally a big fan of the colour switch mechanic, maybe that would've been improved with more of an indication of when a switch is happening. Good work anyways!
Cool and addictive game after all. I enjoyed playing it! 🤗
Nice little game! I like your art and sound work. Cool stuff for a solo jam! Keep up the good work!
An innovative take on a side scroller, really enjoyed it.
The green and yellow fruits can be hard to tell apart for colorblind people. Very nice music and artstyle though
