Hitting the sweet spot is not easy, but getting some hits felt so satisfactory

Quite basic game, but very interesting in execution, even tough it’s hard as nails. The sounds were very weird at times, but I must say, I laughed at the voice overs.

It’s very hard to hit enemies as it is, specially since they’re constantly moving. I believe this could have benefited from options for fine tuning the power of the shot rather than timing, trial and error. Still tho, landing a shot made me feel so good.

Anyhow, congratulations on making it through the jam! Fruit Flinger is well worth checking out. My team salutes you and wishes to see more from you in the future. Cheers! :whale:

@Icehottet The B key will kill the fruit at any time - even on the catapult, which lets you pick the fruit you want to use.

Silly fun. Maybe some sort of scoring screen? The audio made me laugh.

Good job for completing the game. I think the addition of a "Reset Button" or a button to speed up time when you miss the shot would make the game a bit better.

It's quite slow paced BUT it is REALLY satisfying when you land a big hit and take out multiple enemies. I also laughed when the voiceover said "I shouldn't laugh there should I?" Great stuff :)

Superb game! My only issue is that I don't know what is the line of sight of the catapult because of the angle it looks.

Simple but effective. The best game I played so far! :D

Where is the "sacrifice" thing tho?

@Illaks You're sacrificing your food to protect yourself.

We probably could have spelled that out better in the game... lol

Simple but fun game, the audio was beautiful af :D The visual side was not that polished, but it didn't bother me at all, because even though it has been kept simple, it's still clear and nice to look at when nothing looks incoherent, also the models were surprisingly cute as looking that cartoonish. Also 3 days is a small time for 2 people, so I'm glad to see that you used the time in making the game playable and working, and most importantly, to making A Fun Game! It was definitely a silly game in a good way, and I lol'd quite much while playing it. Good job both of you, It's a nice entry!
