Hi Josh, 

Thanks for playing and giving us feedback on the game. Glad to hear good and bad so we can improve upon it for the next one hopefully.

RTV had to program it like that to ensure the deer and sleigh worked together seemlessly. Unfortunately the responsiveness suffered a bit however this way the reindeer and sleigh glitched out/got tangled a lot less than they might have. 

Oh yeah the first snow man level yeah a think RTV designed it like that to make it tricky as you had to drop one present to get enough presents to pass level after bombing snowman. If i missed it the first time i usually just swung around the sleigh after awhile and had another shot at it.

Well done with trick shot on first attempt lol!

One of us will have a look at your game hopefully in the next few days for sure!

Hi sorry for the delay! 

Thanks  a lot for the compliments and your feedback yep those presents could be a bit hard to bucket successfully glad you worked out a trick.  Hopefully you were able to get to clock the game, see the ending and get a high score as well.

Thanks again for playin RTV or myself will endeavor to try your entry in the next few days or less and drop a rating and feedback for you.

No prob! Was fun thanks. Fair enough about difficulty it is very easy to have the blinders on when it is your own game your testing. Also people can have the opposite issue and make a game to easy. Its about finding the sweet spot when you don't make people end up rage quitting or give up on game quickly if it is too easy or no challenge.

Good luck with your placing once the voting ends.

Some Tips after more play testing and clocking it several times since its been uploaded. *EDITED* The sleigh is a bit  hard/slow to steer due to programming compromise to ensure the integrity of the sleigh and reindeers not coming apart.  They still can glitch and get tangled from time to time but not as often if not programmed that way. Besides the turning left and right will allow you to turn around to do an extra pass ensure you although a bit of distance before you turn around to allow to another proper pass at your target. So make your you stay out of danger by watching your height level as you can still accurately throw presents or drop coal from higher up. This especially helps on levels with high slopes or houses on higher hills etc. Also be sure to look out for the Stars on levels that say bonus these are required to complete some levels and you can get the stars by dropping coal on them. 

So hopefully (if you don't rage out before seeing these suggestions) with a little practice you can complete the game and get the ending and a high score!

Thanks for playing

Nice look to game and good song choice for intro. 

Some music in game would be nice or if you would of had an ambient recording of conveyor belts playing or something.

Kept me busy i think i made 90 errors though on first day and only 70 profit so a lot i missed i guess.

Nice clean look to game though and a good little brainteaser type of gameplay to keep your mind active.

Good job for the two day build!

Graphics are very reminiscent of early B&W apple mac games.

Good concept but...

Holy moly that is hard! I may have to have another try but couldn't get past first bit lol even though i tried 10 times or more. Maybe will try again later. Most times the other boxes either killed themselves or knocked me into laser beam but i imagine you need to have quicker reflexes to jump on them and make the leap in time before they kamikaze themselves.

As mentioned a nice little concept although difficulty a currently a bit beyond me. I like your different skins as well. Good little platformer puzzler reminds me or Lost Vikings a bit having to use the 3 characters in unison to get past certain parts in levels.

Nice job though!

I liked your game cover art the writing font is very reminiscent of the DOOM font used in the game cover art.

The in game character remined me more or a platypus for some reason. While no animation on characters the simplicity worked surprisingly well. Managed to get the hang my second time playing got to 500 points or something.

I like the swarm that comes at you when you go to the borders/boundaries of the level.

Nice little game where is shows sometimes less is more (meaning graphics) as the gameplay could be quite addictive which is the key of a successful game often.

Nice game! 

Reminds me of a few old early 3d games can't name them for the life of me though.

I looked at the instructions briefly before playing the first time but still managed to play like a numpty the first time flying through the green and yellow rings as well meaning i got penalized. 

Second time i worked it out though and had a bit of fun. Nice touch on Santa getting stuck in chimney lol! i thought he was proper stuck or game glitched until i realized to click him with the mouse to the bottom.

Other things i liked soundtrack or title screen was nice and cosy too. You did a great job with menu layout and good instructions once i read them properly the second time lol!

Only nit pit if i had to had one is what others have mentioned was the difficulty is a bit hard to maneuver into the rings consistently as. I imagine it is a learning curve however as i improved greatly on the third attempt playing and got 2 deliveries lol! yeah only two but was a start right.

Good job overall!

Hi managed to have a bit of a play. I couldn't get the game full screen it just played in window on a full screen with black around it. With the voice filter maybe lessen the pitch or turn volume up slightly but i get that you were going for secret agent distorted type voice so wanted it to sound sinister or more mysterious. I like wandering around the city and dodging getting spotted couldn't work out where the package had to go so just randomly threw it into doors of house however i guess it wasn't meant to go in them as it clipped through the doors or walls of house.

So besides the above and not having a clue where to put package i liked you soundtrack and get the vibe you were trying to create with the game :)

Thanks for the feedback on graphics and on the movement in game. Nice to hear feedback both good or bad so you can improve with the next game hopefully. Glad the present throwing was fun hopefully you managed to drop some coal on a snowman that is a bit of a laugh as well but that is on level 2 onwards.

I will give your game a play hopefully today if not tomorrow and drop you some feedback :)

Thanks a lot for playing! and for the compliment. I will be sure to give your game a play once i get a chance and give you a rating/feedback :)

Not a bad game for how simple it is. Definately has some potential there. 

Good job!
