Deliver the apple to Newton’s head

An action adventure game where you guide a rolling apple.

Roll through various stages with soothing music, aiming for the top of Newton’s head.

[Game Objective]

The objective is to prove the law of gravity by controlling the apple and using movement, jumping, and braking to aim for the top of Newton’s head. However, the apple is fragile, so its durability decreases every time it falls. When it runs out of durability, the game is over.

There are so many and I think any of them are worth “8 credits” as it were

But just a few:

Assault
Dino Rex
Trio The Punch
Metaphorus Force
Psycho Soldier
Dangerous Seed
TETRIS THE GRANDMASTER 2+
Warrior Blade

The one on the SNK collection does at least.

I feel like i really need to hear the justification for recommending this game in particular
