## Feedback
### Game
I felt that it was pretty weird that the **camera couldn't move up or down**, but just left and right: is it a limitation of your engine, or is it deliberate?
Instead of making the timer on the user interface count up to 120 s / 60 s, you could make it **count down to 0 s**, so that it's intuitive that you have to collect all apples before the time runs out, and you don't need to explain it in the tutorial!
The **second level is brutally harsh**: if you fall off once, you have to start over from the first level!
Maybe consider having the player respawn somewhere, and only sending them back to the main menu if the time runs out!
### Distribution
You classified your game as a *Mod* on Itch.io: that's for modifications to already existing games, like the ones that go on the [Steam Workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/). The correct category should be *Game*, as your game is not dependent on anything else to function!
I really like your idea about the countdown! It makes perfect sense.
And about the levels in the next update 1.4, you can start playing at the level you didn't pass and so on.

The next thing I would suggest working on is sound effects. A game gets much more immersive and enjoyable when there are sounds, even if nothing about the gameplay has changed.
This may get you in trouble, as everyone will see it as cheating and downvote your game
