Ready to unleash your inner Sweet Shooter? Join our adorable animal army on a mission to gather the juiciest strawberries ever! 🎯✨

How to Play
Load Your Cannon
Choose from a variety of lovable critters like :bug: pillbugs, :frog: frogs, or armadillos 🦔. Each critter has a unique ability some dig, while others are smaller and fit into smaller passages, giving you different strategies to master.
Aim & Launch
Use simple controls to aim your cannon. Adjust the angle and power by dragging the cannon with your mouse. Hold Space bar to load your guns with as many critters as you need. The goal? Launch your critter toward the strawberry fields ahead, collecting as many berries as possible on the way!

Score & Progress
Rack up points by minimizing the number of shots and critters used. As you hit berry-filled milestones, you'll unlock new critters and exciting levels to keep the adventure going!
Controls
- Click and Drag the cannon to adjust the angle and power.
- W/A/S/D to move the camera
- Hold Spacebar to load more critters into the cannon — the longer you hold, the more critters you'll add.
- ESC to pause the game.

my favorite part was defintely the voice acting lol
Great idea and I loved the gameplay!
btw it was hard to cope with mechanics and understand what exactly I need to do
Other than all that, I think the game is actually quite fun gameplay-whise, so good job on that :)
Nice job !!
This sound will haunt me from now on.
What a great little game, great work!

@wyvex thank you for your kind words. It means a lot.
Sadly i couldn't play the game bc of a crash when i did try to shoot an animal but the tutorial voice was funny !
Don't hesitate to ping me if u fix the error so i would try the game !
Nice work!
I kind of lost track of time after starting with this game, and I enjoyed every bit of it! The fabulous voice acting had me laughing, and the art is well done and just enjoyable to look at while you toss around critters being uncertain if you're the good or bad guy.
Thank you so much for this game, awesome job to the whole team :heart:
Really liked the voice over on critters xD Thank you for bringing it to the stream!
