This game is so cute and relaxing. Sending mail to other and getting funny situation or beautiful words. All the music, art and concept is very great especially is the Elf-Mail. Love this game!
Thank you very much!
Incredible vibes. Art, music, and concept are all great, although I found it a little hard to control. Great work!
The vibes were the goal! Thank you! :)
Really cute game, almost feels like a metroidvania. Nice plunky music and art.
It would be very fun to develop this into something like Ori. Glad you liked it!
That game is so precious, it made my day better, one of my favorites so far.
I loved how the jump animation is basic yet satisfying, the sound effects also add to the atmosfere of this positive experience. Great job, I'm in love with it.
Thank you so much! Glad to make your day better. :)
Extremely charming and quite addicting. The movement is very nice along with all the art, animations, and even music which some people have seemed to struggle with. Great job!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
very chill game, beautiful presentation
this is such a great game ! it feels really nice to control. The characterization and charm that you all put in the character animation is adorable. i love the twirl that she does ! Also, wonderful interpretation of the theme. ♡
Super charming, I love the character animations! It feels so good to jump around with that double jump animation, really good job. Super cosy game!
What a charming happy little game. Movement mechanics and art are fantastic. Want more places to deliver mail! Excellent work
Really liked the style on this one, and how the birds fly away when you get too close. Nice detail!
really good concept for a game, i really like the art and the sound design
The character moves a little too fast to control easily but the game's super fun and pretty
Super fun and relaxing/satisfying! Zoned out and just sent elf-mails for like 15 minutes. Really enjoyed the whole thing! I was a little unclear on the difference between the yellow and blue envelopes, but it didn't really matter for my enjoyment of it :)
Charming animation, very clasic but well performed design of the yellow-colored ledges which makes the jumping really easy. Well done!
It's unbelievable you made this in 48 hours. The artwork is so awesome and the gameplay is smooth
So many things to appreciate. Artwork is fantastic, animations are very nice. Birds fly around (unnecessary but shows commitment to the atmosphere), sound effects are fantastic, concept as a whole is very nice. Deserving of high scores. Congratulations.
A really fun platformer with easy-to-understand controls. I was a bit lost on how many letters must be sent for the day, so I gave up around 15.
Slightly vague regarding the theme, but it's nice to see something not including a rope haha
Had a lot of fun playing your game guys :D
The art is so amazing! Love the sound design and music! Only thing I would add is some kind of challenge, or some kind of mechanic that would advice you to think a bit, maybe that messages have to be delivered in a specific order. Or if you take to long the people will become dissatisfied!
This is such a cute game! I like the art and sound design and the cute theme, it was strange having the arrow keys to move instead of WASD but I got used to it after a while. I wasn't sure if there was an ending so I played till I delivered 50 letters. I could see this being a larger game with different levels as well. And the messages were really cute and fun! 5 stars
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
The art is very charming, love it.
Thank you, that's so kind.
