This game feels very smooth to play and has a great implementation for the Santa hat! I liked how the hat was introduced a little later into the game teach the basic mechanics and reengage the player. Main criticism is that the platforms being transparent makes them difficult to see at times

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the level progression, that was how I hoped the playing experience would be. Quite a few people have had issues with the color of the platform and is probably the main mistake I made making the game. Thanks for sticking with the game despite that annoying feature!
I enjoyed this game for its smooth transitions, polished feeling and the use of special feature. The platforms being nearly the same color as the background is a bit annoying for the eye and also, I couldn't figure out at first that I have to hold Z in order to glide. At one point I nearly quit the game because of this, but then I read that it's a flying hat/gliding mechanic in the comments here so I figured out that I actually have to hold the button :)

Jimmy the mall SantaLove this! This is definitely my favorite game of the jam so far. The mechanics feel polished, responsive, and fun, while the art and sounds are very cute. The level design is great and love the flying hat mechanic haha. Very well done! So... when's the full release coming? :o

Christmas CrunchI really like the graphics except for the color of the platforms and spikes being too close to the background color. Visually, it made it a bit confusing. Love the buttery smooth transitions and the flight mechanic. Great job!
