Apples are growing on the tree and you have to eat them before they become overripe and fall off the tree onto the ground. At the same time, a naughty kid is trying to stop you: he is trying to stop you from singing, stop you from eating the fruit on the tree and stop you from flying. He gets his slingshot out, and tried to hit you with projectiles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Once you die, the game goes silent, with only falling fruit to be heard.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>This is a game with environmentalist scope behind to heighten awareness to the people about the damage that they cause to the earth and nature. Eventually, this is a tribute to Rachel Carson, one of the first environmentalist activist, who published in 1962 \u201cSilent Spring\u201d in which she denounced if conditions do not improve, species would die and we would witness a silent spring.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I was in charge of the tree, the growing\/ripping\/falling apples and the flying bird.
