Nice and cute game! The controls are extremely fluid and responsive and the stage is really well designed. The spritework and music are great, everything fits perfectly.

There are long time spans with no fruits appearing. Just one appeared and was positioned so far from me, so it was imposible to reach it. Try adding an algorithm to keep a better balance with the bar and the available fruits.

Now you're able to expand the game with more stages and include new mechanics like enemies and objects. Diversity is vital even in arcade games to keep the experience fresh and the players hooked.

Great job!

Nice sprites and simple gameplay. It would be cool if there was some kind of enemy that you have to play dead like an opossum would 

Developer

Thank you so much! That's a really cool idea! In the future I'll definitely try adding enemies, and I think that "playing dead" mechanic would be really fun for the player too

Loved the lil sprite! Sadly there were a view times where he would "stick" to the terrain and I couldn't move any further. Other then that was a lot of fun! Thanks for your submission

Thank you so much! When I went to test it after uploading, I saw that the player would indeed freeze in the environment sometimes... I'm already working on fixing that, don't worry haha 

Again, thanks for playing!
