This Game is Ludicrously Difficult

It took me two hours to beat this. This difficulty is intended, so good luck, cause you're gonna need it.

 

CONTROLS-##

• WASD - Movement
• Space - Controlled dash towards the cursor (Let go to stop.)
  • Without Shift - Decent boost with a max of 0.75s. (33.3% to lose a fruit)
  • Hold Shift - Faster boost with a max of 1s. (66.6% to lose a fruit)
  • You have 2 dashes, and must wait 2 seconds after a dash to recharge them.

 

GAMEPLAY-##

You need 48 fruits before you can leave the store. Hold your cart over the red markers to get fruit.

Mom waits at the markers less and less the more fruit you have. If she gets angry three times, you lose your 3DS privileges for a week! The exact wait time formula is:

• 1 second - ({PLAYER FRUITS} / 47)

If you're wondering how to find the marker, just look at mom.

• Horizontal placement is indicated by which direction she faces
• I screwed up vertical placement, so just look at the Y-level she targets.

Backstory

Mom's Long Day is a small game I made in under 10 hours for Juniper Dev's very serious game jam! I didn't see the jam until the night before, so I locked in for 10 hours, and got this!  I polished, play-tested, balanced, and debugged it, so I'd love to hear any feedback!

This game takes place in a supermarket, after a stressful day for your mother. You push the cart, and mom isn't waiting! Get to the red marks, or she gets mad. Three strikes, and you're out.
