Fun quick game, I enjoyed seeing the surprises you get at the end of the game, the scrolling was a bit difficult, but that might have just been my inability at games.
I really liked the art style too.
Thank you for your review, it means a lot !!
No it's not you, there is a wide consensus to say that the game is a bit hard !!
Really fun little surprise game, It's really good to have a goal especially with this type of game and being able to collect all the different gifts in the presents and then view what you have collected in the menu is nice. The music complements the visuals very nicely and added depth to the experience. It did feel like the mechanics are a little to difficult on normal (could be just me being bad) as I struggled greatly with the mouse movements when dragging and I don't think the lines should overlap, at least not on normal. Great game, Good Job.
Yeah those sliders annoy a lot of people !! It was my first time with Bezier Curves, and I reckon it's not perfect indeed !
Thanks for your time and all those kind words, it means a lot to us !!
Very fun game ,with simple mechanic, I love it!!! Although the sliding controls were feeling a bit buggy in some situations , i rly enjoyed it!
if interested check out our game on:https://itch.io/jam/yogscast-game-jam-2020/rate/845474#post-2278578
The sliders are..a first for me ahah I never learnt bezier curves before, and as such, I didn't know all...
Thanks for your time and for that kind reveiw <3
Well, this game not only has great music and visuals but also really fun to play even though I am not good at it. :D I really enjoyed the well-done graphics and visual effects. Maybe the game can start as slow and becomes faster over time. Other than that Good Job mate. Loved your game
That would have been better yeah !! Balancing is sooo hard, we tried so much different things :(
Nonetheless, thanks for those very kind words, and your time !
This game is definitely good. The gameplay is smooth, all the SFX are well done and the art is amazing. It's really fun to open all those gifts so I wouldn't be surprised to see hours passing by while I try to complete my collection. Texts are fun as well and overall is one of the best games i've seen so far. Congratulations!
If possible, check out our game too! we would apreciate your feedback!

Thank you so much for the time engaged and for that wonderful review <3 That means a lot !
Your game has been checked out and rated !
Really fun game, i really liked the gameplay since it's kinda similar to OSU!. The gifts collection system is really good, and i enjoy having my yoyo collection there haha. Overall i truly enjoyed playing the game and collecting my gifts.
I loved that you were seduced by the collecting aspect, I love it too aha !!
Thanks for your review and for the time ! <3
Very interesting Games, like OSU in the low version, Keep it up dude!!
Yeah that was the goal ! Thank you so much, I sure will !
I think its amazing. You seriously recreated OSU with this fun element in only 48 hours. Well done
Thank you so much, it means a lot <3
A fun game~! I love the art style! Would have been good to include some kind of flashing/warning when a slider is about to run out. But otherwise awesome work!
Please check out my teams entry~! https://itch.io/jam/yogscast-game-jam-2020/rate/843977
Oh yeah I completely agree on the flashing point. Didn't have the time unfortunately :(
Thanks for the review !
Yaeh I'm gonna play your game, A.A fan as I am, I'm gonna enjoy it !
Amazing game, but next time try not to throw piles of text or many rules at the player. I mean in this case it is ok - just 4 rules, but next time, try considering an interactive tutorial. Overall, solid entry!
Thank you for the review !
Yeah I considered an interactive tutorial, but being the sole dev and with the amount of work
we still had to do, I didn't want to lower the game's quality by being late...so I chose a 'middle point' : text to explain and a training mode !
But I totally agree with ya, thanks so much !
I'm really bad at it, but it looks and plays great!
Thank you so much !
A super fun recreation of OSU-style gameplay, I loved all the different unlockable items! I think my only real complaint would be the amount of time given to collect the gifts in, as it can feel a little grind-y at times. Other than that though, it was a lot of fun!
Thank you so much for playing !
Yeah you're right on the grind-y feeling, it might need tweaking !
Tough but fun, love all the little details
Thanks !
My hand doesn't go quick enough xD
I found it quick tough of normal, but I won't let that affect anything. The game is really well made and looks really good - especially for a game jam game. Lot's of juicy features which made the game feel real good to play!
Thank you so much for your review <3
Yeah it seems like our testers weren't startled enough by the difficulty...
I am terrible at games like OSU, but this was pretty good. shame that (I don't know if it is because I am on web version) but the slider ones don't seem to work properly, you can just drag then to the end point, missing any like loop in the track.
Thank you for playing !
No it actually is not a bug from the web version it comes from the way the slider is calculated : it finds the nearest position from the cursor and puts it here...so on sliders where there are tiny curves, you can just tp to the end !
Thanks for the review !
The gameplay is very fun and I like the concept of opening presents to see what's inside (my favorite part of the holidays!). The gameplay is exilerating, it reminds me of OSU. It was hard for me to play with only a trackpad, but overall it was very good. Thanks for the fun : )
Thank you for that review and for playing the game !
Not my kind of game, but after a few to many 0 opened attempts got a 3 opened win, the graphics are awesome.
Thank you for keeping at it and persevering !
Well built.
Extremely difficult but its certainly fun.
Thanks ! Yeah it seems like it is hard indeed aha, our testers didn't find out that while testing !
The difficulty seems to ramp way up, but it could be I'm just not great at the game. Love your graphics and design!
Ahaha no it's most probably not you, difficulty isn't changing in the same mode actually, but in spite of the game being played by some beta testers it seems like the game is a bit too hard !
Thanks for your review !
Ahh only 1 present on my first try, but at least it was a crown so I still feel like a winner. Did you develop the controls with a touch screen in mind? I feel like that would be easier than playing with a mouse.
Lucky you !
Yeah, it needs a bit of practice to go through properly in normal (one or two games, or a few seconds in training mode).
Touch screen would probably be easier, we went for a Osu! like ! But yeah in the future, why not a touch screen ! Thanks for your review !
