@parchmentengineer - Maybe. But robots are pretty efficient... so maybe not.
@hypernoodlejon - Definitely agree. Time limit is my only excuse :P
@kymakesgames - Thank you! It is really gratifying to hear that because I honestly sunk way more time than I had intended into the character movement and shaking logic. And now that you mention it, it does seem like any number of day-to-day problems could be fixed by having a robot pick things up and vigorously shake them.
@jellybean - That's a great idea. Honestly I only started to notice the 'scootch apples around' strategy pretty late in development. It could certainly turn into a more complete feature.
The gameplay was pretty simple, but fun nontheless. I liked how you had to get a feel for the optimal timing of getting a new tree. I guess this also changed the further you got, as you had to get trees that were further away from the basket. At least, I did not find a way to move the basket, I hope this was correct? At first I just started shaking trees, but then realized I did not know how I was supposed to get the apples in the basket. In the end I just started shaking trees above the basket. Hopefully that was how you were supposed to play :) Anyway, using that method I got to 35 apples :D
Very nice submission! Well done!
