Very smooth controls, despite so many glitches of getting stuck in the wall XD

The visuals are cute, clean and the momentum you get from the grappling hook is very satisfying. Great game!

In general the whole sounds and visuals are very adorable and they feel very great!

I sadly got stuck in the floor at one point and couldnt figure out how to get out of there. :D

Noooo that's so sad :(
We didn't had time to investigate and fix the bux that makes you go through walls when you are going really fast, I'm sorry...


We still hope you enjoyed your time playing our game, and appreciate your kind words, thank you!

The game was super cute! The crunching of the snow sounded so realistic, it was my favourite sound effect!

Wow what a cool and beautiful game, the intro was great to watch and the gameplay itself was so fun! it reminded my of SpeedRunners a little bit. great work.

I did find a bug that after the fifth present if you keep going left you can fall of the map and be stuck there forever

Honored to be compared to speedrunners, what a great game!


There are a couple bugs that could lock your progress, but the only solution for now is to restart the run. You can get any presents in any order, so you could avoid certaing map zones you dont like or that can give you trouble. Thank you for your feedback and for your time, both playing and commenting! We hope you've enjoyed it!

Amazing game. I loved the movement the most!! The only irritating part was how high the player could jump. You could make it a little higher.

XalouwuDeveloper66 days ago

The jump mechanic was introduced to avoid getting some players locked in certain zones, but we wanted to keep the grapple as the main mechanic of the game, so that's why you can only jump 1 tile per jump, with higher jumps some zones would be much easier while others get too hard . Still, if we continue to support the project we will take your feedback into account, it is very important to us! And we appreciate you taking the time to play and comment, thanks ^^

I see. Well, grappling was the most fun part of it, so maybe the jump height was a good choice.

Yeah, sometimes that happens hahaha

That's why we included 30 presents, you can skip 10 and still make it to the goal :P

While I had a hard time grappling my way through the stage, I loved the non-linear gameplay and how there are more than enough presents scattered throughout the stage for the player to collect. I also love the art for the game. Excellent job on your game!

I really like the speed you can accumulate with the grappling hook, feels super smooth. Cool little adventure. Unfortunately I got soft locked in a one tile space :(. Otherwise the visuals, music/sfx, and gameplay were pretty good!

Sadly, we weren't able to fix the clipping through walls while going at high speed in time for delivery, but the team fave its best and that's what matters ^^
