Introduction

The watermelon bomb is probably not a good tool to teach the importance of vitamins …
Instead it is the perfect weapon to make your enemies run in fear—if this game just wasn't turn-based!

Pressing and holding the Attack key (default: space bar) will charge up the throw. Hold space till you have the desired amount of charge and release. It will fire automatically once the charge hits full.

Hints

• It is most effective above the target
• Melon pieces are knocked around by other exploding melon pieces/barrels, so be careful where you throw this. Try to avoid a melon piece striking land prematurely, or it may kick the others away from your target
