Game description
Step into the shoes of Buddy. Buddy is a young, enthusiastic elf starting their first day at Santa’s workshop, thrilled to join the magical crew preparing for Christmas. But when you arrive, something feels…off
Objective: Buddy needs to find Santa, who is behind all this and requires him to come out in the light (Starting stage), where the old wise Elf is also stationed. Be careful not to lose your way out, and beware of enemies as well, because they might stun you.

Great game. I love the goofy dialogue, and the art. I didn't manage to finish it though because after escaping back to the beginning after meeting santa the intro dialogue was triggered and I was not able to finish. The elves are maybe too aggresive and it was better not to try fight them - just run from them and jump over them. I like the game anyway. Great job!
never underestimate the power of workers , secret theme of the game
Enjoyed the game a lot. The art is good, the music is fitting and the enemies are real! But couldn’t figure out the objective at the start, i.e. where to go and stuff.
Overall, the game is amazing. Plus point for the Christmas theme

It is a good platformer game with a Christmas theme. The music and environment fit for the game. However, I think that the objectives are quite confusing in the beginning.
Pretty fun game overall, the graphics and music are good especially the text boxes. My advice would be maybe make it a little less cluttered.
It took me about 10 minutes to really get the hang of it and get out of there! I LOVE the music and sound - that paired with the art is a fantastic aesthetic, and the actual gameplay feels great, despite the difficulty of throwing the toys. I also loved how the lighting gets brighter the closer to morning we get, which is a small but lovely detail. Really nice job!
The Christmas theme is well thought out - a great aesthetic to how the elements of the game come together. It's really hard to master or even get the hang of throwing the orbs. I think it might be in part because of controling it with the mouse - I might have an easier time if it was controlled with my right hand on the keyboard with 'J' or an option like that. I just had to do my best to run and dodge those elves as best as possible
please finetune the difficulty, the rushing
zergselves making it soo hard to play. the art and music is nice, and the story seems interesting, but the unapologetic nature of the game just makes it hard to enjoy.I enjoyed it. Great job on the visuals and the sound - it looks and sounds great. Nice touch with the text options and display - I wish I could get that effect in Unity without having to buy a separate asset! I did find it to be quite hard initially and I died a LOT to that first elf! Great job.
