Very impressive for one week I must say.
Surely would have been fun if there would be someone close by I could try it with. :D
This is quite a nice little game with local co-op in mind! That's rare in a game jam. This alone deserves some kudos. As for me, as I don't have anyone else in the same room at the moment, I will only play solo instead. The gameplay is tense, and the levels are well-designed. Just that I am not sure if the game is balanced for solo or not. The graphics of the game are nice too, with that cartoonoic style the game certainly looks good. For some criticism, I'd say the character is walking too slowly. I would suggest making it a bit faster, or at least adding a dash so that the players will spend less time on the boring walks and more on the fun of redirecting boxes.
Anyway, this is a good entry! Good job!
Really impressed with the different mechanics of the game! Moving level objects around, changing the present colors, co-op, all great stuff! I did feel like each level went on a little too long, I would trim down the level timers where possible to keep the pace moving
This is visually very pleasing to look at. I played solo, so things moved a bit too slowly for me, but I can see this being an enjoyable family game along the lines of Overcooked. Good job, and good luck!
Will look into speeding stuff up! Definitely want to have more chaos.
Thanks for playing!
Nice and relax, i was playing solo and i don't know how i could make all the 99s, i would like it just a little bit faster too or having a hard mode. I was happy to see it was a game with convoyers like factorio :). Visuals match. Great work!
99 was just to indicate that the output wouldn't change (should've used the infinity sign instead). The hard mode is the most common feedback, we'll definitely look into adding that
Thanks for playing!
Nice concept! Would bee even better if everything was speed uped so that it would be a real frenzy :)
100% agree with you! The frenzy name came very last minute, wish we would've incorporated it more...
Thanks for playing!!
Seems really polished, also co-op, what a shame i dont have anyone to play but really good game
If you ever get a chance to co-op it, worth a try!
Thanks for playing!
Fun gameplay, reminds me of Overcooked in a way. Nice implementation!
Overcooked was definitely our inspiration :)
Thanks for playing!
I like the way you did factory lines, with ability to with the ability to transfer producing elements between them.
Glad you enjoyed! It was definitely my favorite system to implement.
Thanks for playing!
I saved so many kids from broken presents haha good job! fun specially if there ar emore people playing it
Thanks for saving Xmas for all those kids! Santa always gets all the credits but it's really the elves that do all the hard work (wish we had more time to introduce that story plot)
Thanks for playing!
Game with very good potential for fun multiplayer! For me, it will be much better if all speed is doubled, it feels too slow. And maybe exaggerated feedback from good or bad results will show a "frenzy". Good luck!
For the speed: We had considered it being too slow for some players (we felt it was slow for us), but we wanted to keep it accessible for everyone. We definitely want to make faster levels!
For good/bad: Great idea! I can picture some candy crush voice saying that. The game name was chosen like 2 hours before deadline so didn't even think of incorporating it.
Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!!
Rare to see multiplayer, nice work!
Wish there would be more! I'll see if I can release some tooling I made for this one to encourage more people to do them.
Thanks for playing!!
Girlfriend managed to sort out the mess I created, and approves of this game!
Very polished for a jam game and I was very surprised to see a coop game. Lots of fun, well done!
Funny enough, it was my girlfriend causing the chaos when testing on my end. Everyone playing different I guess LOL
Glad you both enjoyed, we like making coop games for those moments.
Thanks for playing :)!
I tried this out with a friend and we definitely needed more braincells lol but had a great time! Love to see a coop game :)
Glad you gave it a try with a friend! The last levels weren't tested a lot, might explain the difficulty spike :P
Thanks for playing!!
I enjoyed the Christmas vibes once again. Cool and polished game with an engaging loop 🎄
We have a really snowy winter up here this year 🍁. Just made sense to make an x-mas game!
Thanks for playing :)!
Didn't think I'd see a local coop game here but I can't complain. Visual and sound is on point and I think this can be a really fun game with 2 or 3 friends. Well done!
We love coop games so it's hard for us to avoid making them!
Thanks for playing!
Gameplay loop is crazy addictive, honestly well done!
That was the goal! Thanks for playing :)!
