Delve into this game and find out, sound apple-ing (appealing) doesn't it?

Thank you for the game.
I keep dying in corners because even though more power gives me faster speed, the turning speed is the same and turning around is when i get caught and surrounded :(
Overall it was a delightful, fun game to kill time with. Nicely done!
@ohmaigawd believe me you get better at it as you play more and more. :D
@jackyjjc thank you so much for such a detailed feedback, I appreciate it. Thank you for informing me about the key registration prob, I shall look into it. :) And yes after we were done uploading, I too realized that the rotation speed could have been manipulated as well. Something to work on in the future stable release I guess. :)
Amazing graphics. Sweet sounds. Also bla bla blaawwaa.
Won't say anything else. Simply Beautiful :)
@krishnasism That idea came to our heads when we were in zombie mode sleep deprived and so we just went with it without giving it much thought and it turned out real good. :D Thanks for playing our game.
Great job!
@solah Thanks! Fruity Loops with some nice 8-bit self-made synths, Glad you liked it :D
I like the artistic approach you did and the intro sequence was pretty cool aswell :)
Overall really nice and enjoyable :D
turning arround should not be drainning you hunger/taxe gauge and you should not being so slow when your low.
Beacause here when you have an bad start (no on in your field of vision) it is almost insta-death and THIS IS NOT FUN !!!
I really liked the crazy mood set by the combination of the graphics and sound. Gameplay was a little odd to get into, but once you get it going, it's pretty great!
After score 130 it is really hard to get proper speed when you was hit. I wish to have more options in this case:)
Good job overall!
@zirrrus Thanks, glad you had fun!
@ursagames Thanks a lot :D
Enjoyed playing it though!
@thewgbbroz Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed yourself! :D
@yvanor Thanks! :D
@pcmaster Thanks for the nice comments :D
@daniel-kartafla Thanks, glad you had fun :)
Starting this slow make the difficulty ramp quit weird. It was more difficult at the start than after getting a decent speed, making it hard to understand what to do (i died in 3 to 5 seconds on my firts try).
Nice job
Thank you :)
Thanks for trying our game and thanks for your feedback.
Only complaint visually is the zoom-out of the town doesn't look good compared to the rest of the game, but the zoom-in effect looks great. Consider forcing that zoom-in as soon as the game starts since the player has already agreed to being ready when they hit play (or replay).
About the controls, I agree with what people have said, but I'd also add that I'd like to be able to restart the game with space.
Oh yeah, a glitch: You can run through the buildings straight to out of bounds if you're going a little faster than the starting speed. I managed it in the line of buildings behind the player at start, and the plaza a little farther down (with 2 or 3 apples).
@deanard Thanks! Glad you had a good time :D
:metal: **Overall: 4**
**Fun and Mood: 5**
- i like the button feedback
- Menu looks really good probably one of the best menu i have seen in this jam
- it wuld be good if you would be able to rotate the player through mouse
@sagarpaten25700 Thanks and glad you enjoyed playing the game. The feedback really helps, so thank you! :)
