Fun game! Having the elves go on strike is a really funny idea, and they're so impatient lol. I ended up playing a few times to see what the highest score I could get was (I ended up at 90, although I definitely wasn't playing super optimally). One minor suggestion I would make is to alter the way the collision works when you're moving diagonally. I think the game would feel a little better if, whenever you run into a table while moving diagonally/holding two keys, you would continue in whichever direction you were holding that wasn't blocked, instead of stopping almost entirely.

Thank you so much for the feedback! The collision is definitely the main thing I need to work on, I'm hoping to polish that up once the review period is over. Thanks again!

Fun game about delivering gifts. At first the collisions with the table confused me but once I got used to it, I had fun playing!

To start off on a technical note, the desktop versions uploaded are only the executables. They’re missing the PCK files the contain the actual game data… so, they do not run. But, I was able to play the web version so…

The presentation is decent and the graphics are nice. On my machine, the audio, specifically the music, was very messy sounding. I think the messy audio includes the sound effects too, but they were generally short, so I couldn’t tell if they were really effected or not.

Ultimately, I thought the game’s systems were fine. It wasn’t initially clear where I had to move, as Santa, in order to walk down the tables, but I figured it out easily enough.

I played this game on my stream, if you’re interested.

Thank you so much for playing! I'm sorry the audio was glitching out, I see what you mean on your stream. I'm going to work on polishing some things up so I really appreciate the feedback!

Super frantic, in a good way! The gameplay was simple but fun. Reminds me a lot of Tapper on NES. One issue I did encounter was that it is super easy to get caught in the corners of those tables, which can interrupt the flow of gameplay.

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! The collision is definitely something I want to polish up after the voting period ends. I'm glad you liked the game!

Fun game, great vibes.  I really like the Santa sprite.

Developer

Thank you so much! Originally the stick arms and legs were just placeholders but they grew on me  XD

it was really fun to play, I wish there'd been a bit more time, but otherwise it was good.
