Sorry for having issues with UI. We need to take some rest and will bugfix problems mentioned in the comments.
Love you guys, awesome feedback!

I think I did pick up one glitch, however. When I 'died' against the wall, occasionally the player's 3D model would just explode into an amorphous mass and careen all over the place until it disappeared off screen.
I know nothing about 3D models so I just assumed it was a hidden Cthullu level I missed :shrug: :squid:
Anyway, apart from that I thought the whole thing was really well executed. Nice one! :smile:
I think it would be nice if you could also match diagonals, since that would give you a lot more freedom in which apples to pick up.
For me the best strategy seemed to be to only go for one color so you didn't have to worry about the match 3 part which unfortunately kinda defeats the purpose ^^
And in the end I died with a score of 97 although I made the right posture. Maybe it was because I was a little off to the side somehow. I would have also like if the game sped up some more and the fatty boy became a real runner ;)
Except for those nitpicks I had a blast :)
Maybe adding more colours of apples would have made it more interesting on the match 3 side, as it is picking red apples seems to be so much better :)
Keep up the good work!
I think it could be a little faster. And the 3-match aspect could be more balanced.
Impressive polish !
We will fix other bugs too.
