Hi guys,

Checkout my first Unity project, a casual game called Fruits! I’ve worked intensely on it lately, in order to meet the October challenge. Some early info and screenshots at www.fruitsgame.net

Hey guys,

My game Fruits! is now ready for test release. You can play it directly in the browser here.

There’s a few issues discovered earlier today that’s in need of fixing. Expect to release final version tonight or tomorrow. No sales though, so no Ludum dare challenge win, but at least a released game :)

Enjoy and be sure to let us know what you think can be improved!

The game looks fantastic, but I have one important suggestion. After you successfully complete a level, the only two options are to replay level or QUIT! This is totally counterintuitive since it implies that there is no level 2. I struggled with the choice and figured I must have failed the mission or something. Only after replaying the same level again the same way and giving up and quitting did I realize that QUIT actually means CONTINUE. This is a great game but that one major error in GUI design will definitely confuse 99% of your future players, especially stupid ones like me. =) So please, I strongly suggest you change that one button to say “CONTINUE”. Keep up the great work!

Haha yeah you are absolutely right :) It’s been mentioned a lot of times in the Unity IRC channel today as well, so we’re remaking it into “Continue” button. As you said it’s definitely a UI flaw. I think it’s something to do with reusing the “Quit” button I have on the main menu, to save some time earlier on and then it just kinda stuck there. The final release will be uploaded tomorrow, then will update the post. Thanks for playing it!

Fruits! released and submitted to Ludum dare

Hey guys,

Fruits! is finally done and while it can still need further polish, I decided to submit this evening to Ludum dare.

Play it in your browser here: Fruits! web version

Thanks to the guys at Ludum dare for organizing all this, it’s been a great motivator for getting the game done.

Thanks for the feedback, and the heads up on the bug!

Hey! Your game is really fun, and challenging during the mid and later levels (by my opinion) :)

Only thing I would suggest is a “Next Level”-button, so that you don’t have to return to the level select screen between every stage. Though I’m no expert and I’ve seen plenty of good games both with and without this :)
