Embark with your ape for a fun fruit picking adventure! Here's how to play: ## Objective You control an adventurous ape character on a dynamic map and your goal is to score as high as possible within the given 120-second time limit. To achieve this, you'll need to collect various fruits while avoiding their rotten counterparts, navigate through enemies, and strategize to maximize your score. ## The Fruits Apes love them! Collect fruits to score points, but beware the rotten ones! ### Collecting Fruits: Roam the map and collect as many good fruits as you can within the time limit. Different fruits yield different point values: * 🍌 Bananas: +70 points per fruit * 🍍 Pineapples: +47 points per fruit * đŸĨ­ Mangoes: +29 points per fruit * đŸĨĨ Coconuts: +17 points per fruit * 🍉 Watermelons: +12 points per fruit ### Avoiding Rotten Fruits: Watch out for rotten fruits, distinguished by their slightly different color and dim pale green aura. Consuming them will result in a score penalty: * 🍌 Rotten Bananas: -6 points per fruit * 🍍 Rotten Pineapples: -12 points per fruit * đŸĨ­ Rotten Mangoes: -20 points per fruit * đŸĨĨ Rotten Coconuts: -26 points per fruit * 🍉 Rotten Watermelons: -30 points per fruit ## Enemies Life is not all rosy in the Jungle... ### Encounter Enemies: Numerous enemies populate each map and can harm your ape character. When an enemy touches you, your health decreases. Keep an eye on your health bar, indicated by the blinking red aura when damaged. If your health drops to 0, the game session ends. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/hNj8xEFP9yCpB-1P7Ps7P1aZyfaTYE4ENXd9uAaaMVUyhKEIpP-5lwbPqQ1z2FygTBF6D1ZjcnsvqP62Eme5d-20kCLxZbJ8-ncvlEU7YvP_rLnLjsD_DadS9ClrCdWZjU6y77J4354mQiwxvqGR_fQ) ### Defeating Enemies: While enemies pose a threat, they also offer a chance to earn score points.
