How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?
I made the game thinking about Christmas in the southern hemisphere, where it is summer. And I made a game of collecting gifts. Anvils were implemented as obstacles

A very enjoyable game!

Personally, I only lacked these little things in the gameplay: 
1) I think it would have been possible to make the net and the Grinch two different objects, so that when the Grinch turns, it stays in the same place and the net moves to the other side. I think this would add integrity to the gameplay.

2) Perhaps it would be worthwhile to have the anvils hit the Grinch itself, rather than the net. Or both the Grinch and the net. Kinda ruins the immersion when the anvil goes through the character.

Otherwise enjoyable gameplay, kept me going for half an hour)

Thanks for your comment. At the beginning the character had collision, but seeing that many anvils were falling at the same time it was impossible not to lose every time, that's why only the net has collision. I will take your advice for the next time. Thank you!!

I found this kind of boring.  it was an interesting mechanic, but not very challenging.  It would have been nice if there were more levels (maybe i just didn't play long enough to see them?)

The art and music were good. the action was smooth and nice.  

Developer

I tried to make something easy (I'm a beginner in programming). I will take  your advice for the next one.

Thank you!!

The art is very beautiful, the beast of all, it's a simple game, easy and entertaining... I just have one question, why on the beach?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks. Where I live, Christmas is during the summer, and I think the beach is a good representation of summer.

Solid game, I like the logo and the graphics, they are really nice. An animation when you collect a gift (or anvil) would be nice. The Anvils are a bit random but I like that you play as the grinch. The game could benefit from a goal or increasing difficulty.

I giggled a bit when I made Grinch cry. (It's the Grinch, right? I'm not sure) The game works perfectly but frankly lacks character. Music, animations, and setup stories could go a long way to make help stand out despite simple mechanics.

Yes, is the Grinch. Thanks for your comment.

Nice little game! It lacks a bit of animation and polish. The game is simple and easy to understand. Art is cool. Good game and one of the best in this jam

I love the art for the game! Although I have to agree with the other commenters that more variety in gameplay would be really nice

I love the art for this game! Though the game does get a bit boring after I caught 20 presents or so, I think this is a good game for the first game you have made in your journey in game dev. 

Developer

Thank you!!

This game is simple and nice but I would like to see some more variations in the game mechanics

Developer

Thanks for your comment! Yes, I agree with you

Cool game , but it gets a bit boring after a while without an increase in difficulty.

Developer

Thanks!

Gameplay works well overall.  I felt the game could've gotten harder with time/score or something, but it's a great start to something.  Nice work.

Developer

Thank you! This is my second game haha, I am going to continue learning

Good job overall! I was playing for a while  scared thinking the anvils could kill me if they hit my head hahaha

Developer

Thank you!!

I really enjoyed the art in the game and the concept of the Grinch at the beach! I thought that was well done and liked the animation on the Grinch. It would have been nice to have more objects coming down for more variety and maybe increased speed as you progress. Well done for the limited amount of time!

Developer

Thanks!! I would have liked to add more objects. I'm still learning how to program and I didn't know how to add more objects haha
