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:
Where is the "sacrifice" thing tho?
We probably could have spelled that out better in the game... lol
