What a funny game!

Visual

The game looks cool, even though the snow looks a little weird when you dig it, but that's not a big issue. The winning screen is very low resolution though :(

Audio

I love all the audio of the game. You even got me dancing on the winning screen!

Tutorial

Unfortunately not much in game, but you thought of showing "press E to pickup", so big up for that!

Maybe say in the readme.txt that you need to use mouse wheel to switch between shovel and detector. Took me time to realize that.

Gameplay

  • The idea of detecting items using sound is pretty nice, I always like game that include this little but easy trick. And I'm always really bad.
  • Trying to find the gifts when digging is fun too :)

Fun

The game is fun! I really liked searching for gifts and trying to guess what was in each box. Spoiler: I guessed nothing. Had pretty funny items too :)

Bugs

I didn't encounter any bugs, so that's a great point for me :)

Theme

Completely in the theme :) Good job!

Oh gosh, I didn't realise that I had missed the change tool control out of the readme! Let me update that now, lol.

Thanks for the detailed review, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! If I had a bit more time I'd probably mess around with the lighting and/or shaders to see if I could get rid of that strange square shadow that you get on the snow. I messed up with the end screen because I was still working out how to use static images in Unity (it ended up as a material rather than a raw image), but I worked it out for the presents themselves so next time I'll know better :-)
