Ranked from 26 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In my game you play as 3 individual characters, all with their own missions. But they must communicate and exchange clues in order to complete these missions.
You can not beat the game as a single character, you must work Together to succeed! Stronger Together!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code was written myself using visual Studios C# and Unity Game Engine.
The environment 3d models. (House, Hills, Rocks, Trees, Various Props)
Were from a purchased Unity Asset.
The Santa 3D model along with the presents were a purchased Unity Asset.
All other 3D models such as Landscapes, Elves, and Christmas props were made by myself in Blender.
Few SFX but my main music was downloaded off of Youtube.
my sparkle SFX was found online along with my elf chatter.
The Jump SFX and other were made by myself in BFXR

Great Game!

I really like the poly-style of the game and the background music n.n The mechanics could have been more polished.

Anyway, great job!

I can't honestly write much here. The game size itself was impressive. I see that most of the models was purchased, so that takes a bit of the wow factor away, but you still were able to create entire environments that felt lived in by these elves. The game sadly was just too much for my machine. I would honestly look into LOD (level of detail), baked lighting, texture compression, mipmaps, and culling. This could drastically reduce the GPU and CPU loads.

I streamed it here but sadly the gameplay is rough to watch lol:

cool man had a few problems with people playong the game while they're recording. Didn't have time to optimize as much as I wanted. I appreciate the feedback thanks a bunch

Awesome game! Took me a while to understand exactly how to play it but once I did it was really fun!

How did you manage to make this game in only 7 days. I absolutely loved this game and I played it for a lot of time. I think you did a great job. The animations are great the sound fx and I love the low poly graphics. This is very good game! Good job!

Developer

Wow man thank you, much appreciated I'm glad you played for so long :) that is my ultimate goal hahah thanks for the kind words. Was hard work heh

Nice concept, and I love the Christmas theme.  Each elf felt unique and the environment was beautiful!  I wasn't able to find the objectives, but I did manage to get a light switch lol.  Good game!

Developer

Cool man thanks for the heads up. Gimme a rate if ya haven't!

I think the core 3d platformer concept is good. But I had issues with performance and the camera felt wonky. Maybe just because I have a potato pc. I liked the theme of Christmas though.  And the music and aesthetic too. Only realized later that I can switch characters.

Developer(+1)

Hey man thanks for the video much appreciated :) haven't seen any performance issues like that yet!! Gonna need to fix a few more things for performance in this case. Thanks for playing! Gimme a rate if ya feelin generous!

Already did! Check out my game if you have the time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Wow, very cool looking game, the lighting and rendering was top notch for a jam game, good job. At first, I struggle to understand exactly what was my goal, and it took me a while to realise I could switch between different characters, but after that the experience was really cool.

Switching between elves in different places is an interesting mechanic, although I have to admit I spend a lot of time just trying to jump between blocks of ice lol.

Overall, a good entry.

Developer

Thank you my friend much appreciated. I liked using the yellow dude to just jump around and traverse between the mountains too haha.

I'm gladyou liked it thank you for the your kind feedback. This was my first game Jam super excited for the next ones! 

Submitted(+1)

It was kind of fun. I didn't get super far, probably because I'm bad at 3d platformers XD. Couldn't figure out how to get past the gate, so I just went over it. 

Developer(+1)

hahahaha good choice that yellow dude is slippery he can get anywhere 

Submitted(+1)

A good fusion of the parkour and puzzle elements. Polished and well-rounded. I like it!

Developer

Thanks man im glad you liked it :)

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game! I really like the platforming and did great on creating the environment and the set-up of the story

Developer

Thank you I tried my best glad ya liked it!!

Submitted(+1)

You did an awesome job on creating the environment, setting up the story & the puzzle, can even be published on the market if you polish the game. 

BTW, It is better to put the tips in the game rather than putting all the words at the beginning, also the jumping make us a bit frustrating (The jumping detection is too strict)

Developer

oooh thanks for the feedback I'll definitely implement it after the Jam!! I would love to publish it! I'm glad you liked it thanks again 

Submitted(+1)
