I like the part where you shoot the apple (which looks like a tomato ;) Music and a better choice of colours would have made this entry better.

maybe work on a smoother movement, but it was fun :)

Neat. A little too based on luck, maybe...

Solid title! Gameplay is quite punchy, I like that. The increasingly difficult puzzles are also quite cool.

Cool idea. Liked the challenge. Surprised myself a few times by getting more than I thought I would. Found the movement a little hard to predict, it was a bit fast. I was guessing more than I was deducing when to shoot.

Love the combo system. Is it actually possible to one-shot all the apples in every level?

Lots of levels. Very enjoyable

It was a fair experience, music would've done a thing or to make the game more interesting.

The choppyness of the movement is quite odd though, might I recommend that you use something like y=sin(a); 0<=a<PI for vertical bouncing in the future? (:

I didn't think I'd enjoy the game after seeing the first level, but I finished it, and enjoyed it (1430). I especially enjoyed rapid firing the apples. Nice job!

@BarrensZeppelin sorry for weird ball bouncing movement
I always lost when calculating bouncing,angle,radians,etc...
can you suggest any reading on this topic?
thanks

It's already pretty satisfying to play this, but put a some post-compo time into it (focus on getting the motion of the apples to feel "weighty") and you could have a very fun game.

I shot the #*$% out of those apples.

Nice, simple and very addictive.

Nice, I liked it! It's a bit easy, usually spamming is good enough to clear the level

Not as easy as it seems at first :D But great fun!

Colourful style! The game works well, but the levels are far too easy; rapid fire gets you through every level instantly.

There is potential, but much too easy. Just fixing the bouncing angles (like a billiard game) could make this an excellent challenge.

I like the hand drawn style. There's more depth to this game than at first appears - well done.

Nice and likeable game, had good gameplay. I really liked the way you increased the difficulty. Never hard enough to be frustrating, but always a nice challenge.
