It felt really fun to run around to pick up the apples! The pixel graphics of the apples and trees was nice too, and the characters talking during the game was a nice touch!
The music felt a little bit too quiet, and maybe more sound effects would have been cool?
My high score was 876.
Graphics are well done, but some parts of it (like GUI) could be better (though it's The Compo, so understandable).
Also funny texts, good touch!

Simple but very well made and super cute, amazing work!


Good work!

This was fun and the game feels super polished, the art looks lovely and the animation on stuff like the rotten apples is great.
If you want to keep working on this post jam I think there's great scope here to make the game more complicated, with maybe more obstacles on the ground or more player mechanics.
