A bunch of grapes was on their way home when they encountered some pigeons. They fought by hurling pieces of its body at the pigeons. In fiery grape explosions the pigeons blew apart into little bird bits leaving feathers strewn about a beautiful vineyard that had been belonged to a bunch of grape's great grape grandfather. A bunch of grapes fought for as long as he could. Finally after a weary battle a bunch of grapes succumbed for he was nothing more than a stem. As a flock of feisty pecking pigeons closed around him a bunch of grapes could hear his family being pecked to death. Then Pecker the leader of the pigeons came to a bunch of grapes. He said "Looks like it going to be a Grape Day!". Then he pecked a bunch of grapes to death. But all was not lost. A bunch of grapes woke up in hell and discovered he could regain life be eating the grape souls of his ancestors. Will he be able to eat enough souls to undie?

Hint:

To Die

Playing long enough to die several times will result in a starting score of 0. To die simply shoot a grape thereby having a negative score. Its not a bug its a feature!

I enjoyed this game quite a bit, fun and simple game play that works well with the theme.

For some reason I got a Pacman feeling over it.

A very entertaining game, although at first I found it difficult to understand the mechanics and I started to destroy the whole scenario :)
But after that I had fun playing it and the difficulty curve was well done
Good work :)

@pelicanodepico Some might say it was a really grape jam!

Loved it. Sort of like a turn-based robotron? I played it for quite some time and had fun.

Might have been a touch too easy? That's tough because many LD games are crazy hard (usually too much for my taste.) But after a while, I realized I really couldn't lose, staying between 300 and 400 grapes at all times.

Great music and art! And nice use of the theme.
