About Shoot Apples
Just shoot to apples...!!
How to play Shoot Apples
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.

| Mouse | Aim |
