Nice little game. o I'd make the bounces (off the basket edges) higher to give you more of a chance to get it. o New to have a special fruit dropped that earns you a miss. Perhaps, I'd make this special fruit one of the diagonally thrown ones. o Several times I lost because my cursor left the screen, and was no longer controlling the baskets. Highly frustrating -- not sure if this is fixable. o After level two, start with three baskets. Catching in the top basket is worth the most points. o I'd show fruit piling up in a basket, and when it's full it leaves the screen and you earn even more points for a filled basket. Just some quickie ideas. Phil, played it for about five minutes. Nice little game.

For a working example, you might want to look at the Tile Studio demo by Mike Wiering ( http://tilestudio.sourceforge.net/flash/Demo.html ).

I could probably add a lot more 'stuff' to it with a couple days work. For now anyways, I got a good sense of Flash (which I wanted), and since I probably wouldn't use this as a true representation of the full game (because this is only one of the offshoot mini-games), I'm not sure it's worth the extra effort.

Also, not having the badges makes doing some of the harder feats (like a perfect, no-bounce round) pointless. Good for promo material though.

I like it. I especially like that the coconuts can hit the edges of the basket and bounce - a subtle, nice touch. Now all you need is to distribute Atari paddle controllers to every player.
