Appel - A platformer game where a cute apple overcomes traps and challenges in creative custom levels

About Appel

Appel is a platformer game developed by Griffpatch. Players control a cute apple character navigating through dangerous obstacles. The game has gained attention for its well-designed levels and unlimited customization options through the integrated level editor.

Character controls

Players use the WASD keys or arrow keys to move the character. Unlike many fast-paced games, in Appel the character does not move automatically. This gives players full control of the direction. However, speed remains important because players must complete each level before the time runs out.

Conquer 9 official levels

The game includes a total of 9 levels, each introducing new mechanics and challenges:

• Level 1: Spiked
• Level 2: Wall Jump
• Level 3: Crushed
• Level 4: Sliced
• Level 5: Close Call
• Level 6: Falling Apart
• Level 7: Warm Food
• Level 8: Resistance
• Level 9: Unbalanced

Players will face sharp traps, walls that require jumping, collapsing platforms, and unexpected hazards. The main goal is to collect golden apples along the way and reach the square flag to complete the level.

Records in each level

Each level has three records that players can achieve:

• Fastest completion time.
• Fastest time while collecting all golden apples.
• Fastest time while collecting the hidden large red apple and all hidden glasses.

This makes Appel suitable for players who enjoy racing against time and joining the speedrun community.

Level editor for creative players

Appel offers more than just pre-made levels. Players can use the Level Editor to design their own custom levels. This tool allows adding:

• Collectible items.
• Checkpoints.
• End flags.
• Hidden golden apples and a single hidden large red apple.
• Special objects.

In the editing mode, players can fly through walls and avoid damage, making it easy to test levels before sharing them with the community. This feature provides endless creative possibilities and adds depth to the game.

Audio customization

In the Audio section, players can turn the music on or off depending on their gaming environment and personal preferences.
