Nice touch having the character rebound if you pull for too long
The flinging, though, was awesome. I especially like how it bounces you back a bit if you didn't take a shot fast enough, so quick aiming and shooting was necessary, and that added a lot to how good it felt to land a shot. The graphics and sound tied together with the gameplay very well, too!
I was playing on the web version and I wanted the scale of the interface to be larger. Sometimes it was very difficult to reach the fruit of the desired color
Some feedback:
- Would be nice if you could drop fruit, I found myself sometimes either grabbing the wrong one or wanting to change colours but not being able to on the spot.
- Player movement is way too slow.. perhaps scaling everything up a little bit might help?
- Music loop is short and becomes quite annoying, would have been better with a longer track or no music at all I think.
- You win text isn't dismissed and is kind of annoying if you want to play for longer.
- Wording is a bit inconsistent and confusing with how score/fruit/hearts are sort of used interchangeably.
Overall great job though!
