For a Trijam, it was an excellent little game with a good visual style. More time could be improved quickly, with some sound and music. Then a bit of variation in rocks and other mechanics.

Well put together but a bit simple, maybe some platforms or uneven/changing terrain would spice things up, good job regardless :)

Really like the look of the game! It feels very cosy!

Do wonder if there's a way to spice up the game mechanic a bit? Maybe a laser gun with limited ammo to shoot rocks with? (Then again this is a three-hour game jam so simplicity is key haha)

Other than that, still a nice game! Got a score of 75 myself, was neat to manage the present and alien both, and the increasing challenge was good!

Hey Axi,

The rules/actions for shooting was added, but it made the game too easy.

I was thinking about how to still use the shooting mechanic but also keep it challenging and engaging, but 3 hours is not a lot of time, so i scrapped the whole shooting for now.

Maybe after the voting is complete i can revisit it and look at implementing shooting (with a limited ammo as you stated) and also speed up the rocks, this is something i only though of after submitting it, if i can speed it up slightly every now-and-then, it will make it a bit more challenging. 

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

nice game, the problem is, that you can't die when you stand in the right corner on top of the present
