Great game! It is difficult though 😭, and that is why I like it. I did not quite beat it, but I won't stop until I do. The art, music and game feel were on point. Amazing!!

Excellent entry. Like seriously you did a great job with polish and the art feels correct. The only note i would have is that since the player movement is so slow it feels too punishing if you fail a jump. having to slowly walk back hurt my feelings. You were one of the few that actually nailed a swinging mechanic as well so kudos! There were a lot of attempts and this one actually did it!

Great job! and well done! =)

Thanks for your feedback and I can see how it the slow move speed can be frustrating for players. The goal was to create contrast between slow movement with weak jumps and the powerful swinging. But I may have overshot that a bit :)

That must be my favorite game of the jam so far. this game needs more attention. its a hidden gem.
Seriously for me it matches all the requirements of the jam. Is really enjoyable, great relaxing Christmas music, momentum is definitely a key factor here (Spoiler alert: I stuck spinning like crazy because I didn't want to let go :D) and Candy cane is really important. Great job!
