Not bad, but its pretty hard to line up with the fruit

I player this longer than I should have. Addicting gameplay did not make it to the end had to stop because my break ended good job for such short time. Very nice art and music.

Love how simplistic yet addictive the mechanics are! Kudos!

Fine concept and very hard gameplay.

I think that i have managed to gain only 4 points.

Good Job!

Very nice game for one afternoon! It's hard but I have reached 18 levels :) It already feels like a final game, could work as a casual mobile game.

I wish that the guide was a little longer and curved to show the effect of gravity, sort of like Peggle. It also maybe moves a little bit quick, making it a bit hard to line up the exact shot you want. I tend to make my games harder than I intend, especially in jams, so I totally get it lol.

Other than that, the concept is very solid and fun once you get used to how the jumping controls. It's very clear what the player is supposed to do, even with the charming 8-bit graphical style. The music is fun and fits the game well. :)

@jeffsobel I had actually implemented longer, curved guide but then the game completely lacked the challenge and I reverted it last minute. :smile: Thanks for playing!

Damn that game is hard ! I really like the graphic and audio part, it's cohesive !

arron-fowler 2023-01-10 13:34

I really loved it. The low pixel style was really fitting and it was remarkably compelling. Spot on, kudos.

Nice minimalistic gameplay

I am impressed. Just in an afternoon. Great! I like the style: graphics and music. Feel both VCS2600. It is a difficult game. Even frustrating. As the pointer moves fast, is short and the character flies balisticaly. I did not make 10 points. I did not see the harvest theme in the game, except for the title and description. Congratulations for a nice little game ... especially done in an afternoon.

21 points high score! It's pretty tough. It was nice to see if you hit a lower root it was recoverable, but because there was so much of the screen without tree, it was really easy to just fall to the ground. I think it'd be fun to play on a wider tree but that'd be different. I dunno. Fun little arcade game.

Not bad for an afternoon's work! Nice graphics, annoying music, fun gameplay. Good work!

sam-cousins 2023-01-11 23:05

Very nicely done, very tricky though!

victorrypl 2023-01-12 00:17

Nice entry, could see it working really well as a mobile game.

alex-de-la-cour 2023-01-12 11:01

I've got a lot of respect for any game that uses one input and is still fun! I died a ton but I kept wanting to try again and beat my high score. My main criticism is that the hitboxes were pretty unforgiving - often it seemed like part of my player went through the crop but didn't stick. Overall, this is quite an achievement for one day's work!

spacecadet 2023-01-12 16:11

Addictive gameplay combined with cool pixel art. What else you can hope? A bit too unforgiving hitboxes to my taste but overall nice game especially for such a short time.

roroto-sic 2023-01-12 16:56

Really addictive game! i want to retry the second after i died! Unfortunately i can't do more than 8 ^^’ higth score 8 not zero.png

deimos 2023-01-12 18:59

Great one-button game! Love you choice of the color pallette especially the pink of the player.

ravarion 2023-01-13 01:26

Played web version, and got to 10 points. Maybe I was imagining it, but it seemed that the speed that the guide moved would change. I didn't feel like it was the same consistent speed. Good design for an arcade game, I could see people pumping quarters into this after they get the hang of it.

cappa-games 2023-01-13 04:16

Love the simplicity of this game! Simple, fun and addicting! Reminds of flappy bird in that sense. I think it's worth uploading to a mobile app store!

yellow 2023-01-13 10:46

ha-ha! very fun! Although it is easy to play, it is difficult to play well. It reminds me of Battletoads :frog: ! Graphics are great!

amarokczukay 2023-01-17 01:11

super hard and addictive, i really loved the simple design and concept. great entry, i will come back later and try to beat my highscore of 11 haha

sephowepho 2023-01-20 23:03

Really neat entry, it's simple but you also made it in an afternoon so I can't blame you (:laughing:)! It's got a sharp learning curve to it! I played for maybe 7 or so minutes, and I could only make it up to 15; and while I'm sure I could get higher than that if I tried, I think 100 floors might be a bit too high for an ending (;P). My only suggestion I really have for this would be to add some sort of course correction after a jump (allow another jump in any direction perhaps? You'd have to make the mouse mandatory then, though).

gamebuilder 2023-01-24 01:23

Very challenging and addictive game. Could not get past a score of 5, but will keep trying. There seems to be a bug when the white line overlaps with food. Other than that it works smoothly. The retro music and graphics fit together well.

As others have mentioned, I think 100 for a goal is too difficulty. Or, you could slow down the scroll speed. Anyway, a fun game. Good work.

cat-lab 2023-01-26 07:20

This is definitely not the kind of game I'm good at but boy, was it hard to quit playing. I would say the hitboxes can be a bit rough to land on and I think the direction line could use a gauge to know when it will hit either edge. But impressive product for one afternoon of work!

dimesto52 2023-01-26 13:19

it is a pity that the player sprite does not change after each jump

sarah 2023-01-27 04:14

This is difficult but pretty fun! The graphics were simple but cute, nice job for how little time you had!
