Changelog (post Compo end / pre Jam end): - Fixed not looping song - Fixed grapes not shooting properly - Fixed enemies occasionally not looking at the character - Fixed enemies spawning in the tutorial (when they shouldn't have) - Fixed boss being unable to shoot - Rewrote description, i was horribly sleep deprived yesterday night
--------------------
Known Bugs / Notes: - Even though this is a jam game (it was a 2 man team), we've self-imposed ALL the other Compo rules, including but not limited to the 48h time limit.
--------------------
Lore: Who doesn't love a lovely fruit salad? Aliens don't. They want to ruin your freaking basket with your freaking harvested fruit, we must do something to stop them! Unfortunately the only weapon we dispose of is the fruit itself, which fortunately looks like it does good harm to our alien "not-friends". You must restore peace, kill those aliens and give everybody else their well deserved fruit salad.

Info: Hello guys, it's SkyWolf. After LD30's experiment where i took part into the jam with a 2 man team, with self-imposed Compo rules (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=18222) i wanted to do that again. So here we are, me and my friend zlatancld, who gladly jumped on board!
You can find us both on Twitter @akaSkyWolf and @zlatancld, follow us if you care. Also we higly encourage feedback and insults. Tell us how much our game sucked, folks.
Have fun everybody and keep jammin'!
PS: Mac and Linux builds aren't tested, please confirm if they work or not. Thanks a lot.

Controls: WASD to move (can be changed in the launcher) Mouse to shoot
PS: I strongly recommend following the in-game tutorial.
Nice take on the theme. I find aiming too hard, timing seems to be off all the time as you are moving, but I guess I'm just bad at these kinds of games. :)
I found this weirdly hard - too many things to keep track of at once! - seriously though this is a nice entry. Cool take on the theme, and I really DID want to know what all the fruit did
I love the overall idea of the game, but it doesn't feel like you spent time to make the controls feel nice, which ruins the game for me. I had a really difficult time hitting enemies.
The intro was pretty funny, but I the gameplay was really hard to figure out. I was never sure which fruit was going to launch and they all seem pretty underpowered for how quickly the enemies take you down.
very fun game! i love having the all little pieces of melon and spamming them away :3 the intro was funny, but wow it's annoying after so many game overs XDD
I guess that shooting the fruit in the (fruit-character) direction was a bad design choice because it made it look "imprecise". Maybe it should have "followed" the mouse instead. Lesson learned!
About the intro, it was very fun to make and i'm happy it's funny to listen to. Sorry for that accent, english it's not exactly my native language. xD
@cgmorton yeah, indeed grapes are overpowered, although they are slighty more rare. If i recall the weights correctly.
My favorite was the grapes, was easier to landed. A little too difficult to wait for the fruits to also click on the right one and also avoiding bullets. I would like to play a different option on the controls, maybe the fruits could be stacked and then you just need to point with the mouse to the direction you want to send it. Anyways, good amount of content and features. Good job overall
That audio in the beginning was really cool, I love your accent. xD
I'm gonna keep this game installed.
