Decent game, using post-processing as a game mechanic is a neat idea! I found it a bit difficult/awkward to play.

Good little game. The controls were a bit too sensitive so it was too hard to control. Though I loved the concept!
(also thanks for the linux build!)
This is a cool idea! The art is a bit rough, but a lot of the visual effects were neat and made for unique levels. The festive music was also a nice touch. The balancing mechanic is interesting and has a lot of potential, but the controls feel a bit too difficult to use. It seems too easy to tilt the character beyond saving, which forces you to move very slowly and in a tedious way. Allowing the player to tilt the character more quickly would make it easier to recover and would allow for more risky play, which would help shake up the game. It would also be nice to have a stage select, as the lives didn't really add anything to the game and only served to make failure more frustrating. Aside from those two details, this game was fun and interesting, and I think that it could make for a very cool game if you ever decide to expand on it. Well done!
Super solid entry! Game is difficult but fair and the balancing mechanic is super original. Multiple chiptune christmas songs is a nice addition, only thing lacking is its graphics!
Thanks for your feedback. I decided to make some updates that will allow you get new playable Elfies based on your total wins. I realize it is tough to figure our the balancing mechanic - but I believe in you! And I believe in the magic of Christmas :-)
And I also fixed some typos in the game.
Thanks again for all of the feedback.

Pretty neat mechanic that I'd like to see more of, though I agree it would be nice to have checkpoints from time to time due to its difficulty. I also like the frenzied christmas music. As a tip maybe try out some premade palettes online to get a feel for what colours to pick for your artwork as the brightness is a little hard on the eyes sometimes. Good job !!
So, this was a lot of fun for me. I really enjoyed the Christmas theme and the music. And even though the balancing mechanic made it super tough - it encouraged me to keep trying and to come back for more. I agree that it would have been cool to have extra lives, so I didn't have to start over again when I died - but nicely done. I appreciate that you were original with a lot of your game design elements.
I really like the balancing mechanic - funny and original! I managed to get to the randomised coins and then failed: it might be nice to have more than one life so it's less frustrating to fail? I enjoyed the slightly manic music, too.
Maybe I'm just bad but the game was really hard, which I think is a good thing, it just made me want to get further even more every time I died.
I like the simple concept, maybe could use some more fine-tuning on the controls.
This is an interesting game, I liked the idea.
The music is perhaps a bit too intense for the game.
But yeah, nice simple game.
