I must say that the level design is very good. The entry level the basics movement well, and each subsequent room teaches one thing... Almost gave up on the second room, but i figured it out. The game has a relaxing atmosphere and is worth playing. This game made me feel like a genious and even deceived me.
I managed to get past the two violet fruit rooms.
If so this could be fixed with another fruit or key basket fruit pairs e.g. coloured fruit blue high fruit and blue lock baskets so I couldn't use the red fruit in the basket.
What if the tall trees have blue fruit and the next level lock is two blocks a blue then a red. Now a player moving to this sector with a red fruit can't use it to unlock the next level yet but can use it to knock down the blue fruit and unlock the first blue lock before using the red fruit to then unlock the red lock behind the blue.
It would prevent a no fruit to throw situation.
It was very calming and I love the throwing aspect :id:
nice job!
I love the graphics :D

It was definitely the right idea to focus a lot of your effort on game design, because it really led to a much more enjoyable and memorable experience. Great job, and I look forward to playing your future submissions!
I'm surprised you managed to make so many unique puzzles out of such basic (and strange) mechanics. The level where you use the purple fruit to jump from tree to tree really stumped me. So it was very satisfying when I finally figured it out! :)
Thank you for the snappy restarts. None of the levels felt frustrating to have to replay earlier areas over again, so I think you hit the right balance in checkpoint placement.
Unfortunately, the game crashed on me right before I reached (what I assume was) the end. I had just figured out how to get up to the top and was about to execute it when I got hit with an error message and had all my movement disabled. I forgot to screenshot it though, sorry. I assume I would have beaten the game right there anyway, so I didn't bother playing it all over again.
That aside, this game was a lot of fun. Great work!
@zungryware sorry to hear about the crash, it was likely a floating point error (I’ve seen that crash before), maybe from fruit falling out of the world. Thanks for the report
