How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?
The setting is a small village that has 3 anvils - store, craft and swap. Santa has "ordered" gifts from you and you must fulfill his order by mining and crafting the right items
I used a special item as the main gameplay key

Nice idea! I like the concept! It is nice to have some different mechanics and things to consider to achieve the goal, and the implementation of the anvil is very fitting!
I like the Textures/Models as well.
However I got a bit frustrated because of the collision while placing the items and had problems to make it on time because of that, so it was impacting the gameplay. And also I got a bit confused over the instructions on the anvils, because I placed what was asked but it didn't work. I don't know if it was just a placement/collision problem or If I misunderstood.
But anyway - I think it its a solid game with a nice idea! :)
Well done
Thanks! i'm in the process of developing two new mechanics, and reworking the physics of items :D Thank you for your time and appreciation of the game
Good gameplay concept, bad gameplay. Needs better execution.
Got it running with win, then I had the problem of not being able to close the game. (alt+f4, ctrl+c in terminal didn't work, so I just closed the terminal and that at least got the game to close) I can't really blame you for that as it might have been a fault of wine.
The input lag and occasional input drop was a bit annoying but i got used to it pretty quick. It's very easy to force an object to be out of bounds and it occasionally happens on accident. The physics are annoying because it's very hard to do what you actually want to do. In the 15 minutes I played, I miss placed around 10 items.
I like the graphics and the fact that it's 3D. (I wouldn't have even dared to try making a 3D game as I knew it was too hard for me.) The idea of harvesting resources and using it to making stuff was really enjoyable.
I know I was a bit harsh, just wanted to say what I think could be improved.
Hi! I'm glad you took the time to play our game.
1. Yes, this is a Wine problem. (I tested it since my main os is Linux)
2. The physics in the game is not perfect, and we unfortunately recognize that. Thank you for clarifying what exactly you didn't like about the physics. I will try to improve it in the next updates (I'm already on it)
3. Thank you! We tried to create good and pleasant graphics, and the sound designer picked the right music.
Thank you again for your informative feedback
I came back to the game to rate it and thought I would record me abusing the game. I showed 3 bugs in the recording.
Here it is:
Cool game, had a lot of fun playing it, very addicting!
Thanks! Your game is too great :3
Nice work. Wasn't sure what to do once I'd completed the objective though. I assumed the red anvil must have something to do but couldn't work it out.
Unfortunately yes, my problem is that a game without a good tutorial is hard to understand. now I'm doing update 5 with a clear tutorial and new mechanics (very major update).
No updates in the next day, I'm in the process of developing a tutorial (special scene)
Looks good
Hey, great game! I enjoyed the anvil functionality and overall gameplay idea.
Good game idea! I really liked the music.
It looks so great but clearly the gameplay could be better. I think you need to improve the gameplay and physics. It need to be funnier and enjoyable. insted of that, Great work!
The world of this game looks great; it's just a shame that the main gameplay loop is more frustrating than fun. The physics are quite a bit too whacky to be fully functional, and the information drop upon startup is both a bit unapproachable and not very visually pleasing, especially in contrast to the rest of the game.
I'm sure that if the numerous rough edges of this game are worked upon, it would much improve the experience!
Thanks a lot, for the really constructive and valid criticism. I am glad that you paid attention and outlined the main problems.
Well done, absolutely love the art and sound. Great entry.!
Good job
I would be grateful if you rate my game
Nice graphics and music. I like the gameplay. The wizard could be improved. Great work for a Jam. Good Job.
Its Quite Addictive
Really very done
(My main comment is on games page)
I liked the level design and the anvil mechanic, but sadly I couldn't craft anything. Maybe I'm just too bad at the game, haha :P But I really enjoyed the chill music with the environment. Good work!
No, I think that's the problem with my tutorial. I will try to make it more detailed soon and even record a gameplay video
fixed the anvil, it showing recipes for gifts! check out, update 3 is avaible
Not bad. It was difficult to craft a gift. I managed to craft a gift but I did not know how I did it. I did follow the instructions on the anvil but I could not craft other gifts. I could not get past the first level. Also, you should have a crosshair so the player can see where they are pointing,
Oh, i need to make more informative tutorial and make recipes show for gifts.
Thanks for feedback! i really enjoyed, it my first jam.
It is very good for a first jam game.
tysm! your game is cool
New update! Added background music and new level (4)!
ъ
Very good for a first game! The only thing I can note is that the game does not have any background music. Add it and everything will look much better!
Thanks so much! I already made the remix of music and adding it!
