Applepicker
Woohoo! Applepicker v1.5 is here! Try it out on browser, Mac or Windows.
Note: the proportions on the UI is slightly off as unity rescales it when it is built.
Applepicker is a game made for the VimJam game jam. In this game, you play as an apple farmer who must collect 15 apples in a certain amount of time and bring them back to the shop to sell. After each wave of customers buys the apples, the time limit will decrease, leaving you with less time to pick the apples. See what wave you can get up to (there is an end)!

Its a pretty good game! The only problems I can think of are that its a little too easy, maybe you could have the trees die whenever all of the apples are off of them? Idk, just an idea. But a great game overall!
Thanks for the feedback! Most people seem to agree that it is too easy. I have a couple potential fixes that I would like to hear your thoughts on:
1. Spread out the trees more through the map
2. Increasing apples to collect in every wave
I like that idea, it makes the gameplay interesting and stuf
Thank you
Not a problem!
Hey! I played the browser game, zero issues. I beat it! There was a little cheesing as others have said, but its still a good idea and fits the theme! I would suggest adding a sound for when you pick up an apple instead of solely looking at the number increasing. Well done!
Thanks for your feedback
Works great on browser now. Enjoyed the game, I found that it was quite easy to cheese by simple going up to the top row of tree and spamming E whilst going right, so it wasn't hugely challenging, but I think that would be a easy fix. I think an animation to show when the tree had been picked would have been nice, and a little more variation in the shop animation. But otherwise great! Please consider checking out my submission to the VimJam! :)

Thanks for the feedback. I do agree with everything you mentioned. If I had more time I would have made the game a bit less repetitive. Animations is definitely something i will take into account in future. It was my first time working with proper animations in unity. I’ll give your game a go!
Fun game but sometimes its a bit hard to know when you can pick up an apple and picking up apples is sometime a bit buggy but overall 7/10
Thanks for the feedback.
nothing works
Thank you. Are you using browser version? If so, this is a problem with Unity's webGL that I cannot fix. I have notified them of the issue. For the mean time you can play on the desktop app if possible.
Wooho! Browser version fixed (for me at least).
Quick Heads up, the browser version doesnt seem to load. Just so you know :)
Thank you. This is a problem with Unity's webGL. I have notified them of the issue. For the mean time the browser version will be taken down sorry.
Wooho! Browser version fixed (for me at least).
Yup it works!
