Apple
-Intro-
Apple is an arcade reflex survival game where you play as a rolling apple trying to dodge incoming blades. Move with your cursor across the kitchen table, avoid red warning lines before they turn into deadly knife slashes, and survive against flying utensils determined to slice you up.
How long can you survive until you end up served as a fruit salad?
-Description-
Apple was created as a submission for a game jam, drawing inspiration from classic arcade survival games like Fruit Ninja but with a twist: instead of slicing fruit, you are the fruit.
The mechanics are simple—your apple follows your cursor at all times, and you must position yourself out of danger as knives telegraph their strikes with red lines before slicing. As the game goes on, the pacing picks up and you are destined to be driven into a corner. The longer you last, the higher your score climbs!
-Context-
This game was not meant to exist, but the reason it does is because some people share the same love, energy and spontaneous nature as me! After joining a 1 week game jam and brainstorming what seemed like a really fun idea, due to some health issues and not-so-fortunate communication we had to deal with member drop-outs and ultimately, nothing was done until the last 8 hours of the jam! Fortunately, with a few enthusiastic members, we locked in and made a whole new idea from scratch and a few hours later, we had a fully fleshed out game!

The voting is still ongoing, why not check it out yourself? (Here is to me hoping I do not forget to update this page)
