Apple Catcher (りんごキャッチャ/Ringo Catcher)

(Uploaded Dec 5 2024)

 Apple Catcher (りんごキャッチャ/Ringo Catcher) is an arcade-like game that tests your reaction time.  Try to catch as many apples as you can before they touch the ground.  The language can be changed to Japanese or English at any time in the game's menu.

This game can be played with a keyboard, mouse, or mobile device via touch screen.  Enter full screen by clicking the button on the bottom right and exit by pressing the "Escape" key. The game was intended to be played on a screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio but it will still be playable with other screen sizes.

Tips for playing on a mobile device:

• It's better to move the player with one finger and dragging that finger across the screen. Rather than 1 finger on each side of the screen.
• Turn on "Always Run" button in the game's menu for easier control of movement
  
• Play in landscape mode
• On iOS, you may have to turn off  the ringer's "Silent Mode" to hear the game's music
• On iPad, a warning security message may pop up about exiting full screen. I am not sure how to fix this

This is my first game on here and my Japanese level is low because I am still learning. Any feedback is appreciated.
