The music is amazing and a perfect fit. Has all the necessary sound effects. Looks very nice and everything is quite clear and obvious (altho it seemed I couldn't get the instructions back after hiding them with H?).
My only confusion was with how certain objectives were measured (I seemed to fail "without using the scope" if I entered it at all before shooting something, even tho I didn't actually shoot using it).
Would've been nice to have some extra gold fruits in the later levels to have some more chances.
Controls feel fine and I appreciate all the extra settings. I need to remember to put separate music and sound volume sliders in my next entry too!
Great job!! 🍅/🍅
Here is my playtest:

Nice art, decent soundtrack though it started to sound samey after a while. Overall a very solid entry!
But I love how you combined shooting and harvesting / watering in this LD. Great job, really a fun and well done game!
there might be a connection to the cross shaped tape that miraculously sticks to the center of my screen.
I didn't know I could have so much fun pointing with a water gun at tomatoes xD
Damn lol, I came in here expecting to hold the high score. 21 days is epic, GJ @klaus-peter

I really enjoy shooting Fruit. sooo satisfied.
And music, so exciting, made keep listening!
But, sometimes, When I shoot some Fruit, It didn't work. Except for that, Great game!
Thanks for made this game! Cheers ;)
At first, I was confused, but once I read the controls, I understood that I could move around.
I don't know how you did it, but **the bullet drop physics were on point!** I felt like I could really predict the distance properly. Love the objectives and the variants of objectives. Hated getting the "without scoping or missing" objects, but the difficulty really made it that much more satisfying!
Clever having WASD and mouse as controls in which you open up a whole 360 world. At first, my comment was going to be "I think it would be better if it was all forward (180 view)," but as I played more and more, I really liked being forced to look around. Especially when having to figure out which fruit were the largest/smallest. And ON MAN the always elusive gold fruit hiding in plain sight!
If I were to nit something about the game that can be better, it would be that I did have a problem figuring out the "largest fruit" sometimes. I swear they all looked the same, but 1 did feel slightly larger because it was further away. Thankfully I was right, otherwise, I would have been pretty lost. That was my only real issue, and somehow I was still able to find it!
Oh, and maybe a "tutorial" start that first gets you to move/look around, and then shoot could be good to get people quickly knowing they can move around (although , maybe I was the only one that had that problem :P haha)
Great game and really enjoyed playing it!
I'm going to start using this as an aim trainer for myself :D hehe
I give up xD it's too difficult to spot the smallest plant in a lagging tomato field
Also @klaus-peter your profile picture goes so well with that score hahahahahaha

Great work. Its a nice simple game with a cool little twist.
The music is pretty funky but does work.
nice job :)
I wasn't a big fan of the song choice, as it was too "heavy" and repetitious for the length of it, if that makes sense. But I did appreciate the settings sliders!!
