The game is fabulous, really. Enabling the game's full-screen button would really help some players, I think.

Oh, I'm impressed with this game. It uses very simple mechanics, but thanks to good effects and easy player victories, it leaves a very good impression. The current version already has enough content to keep me engaged. The cheap upgrades are also welcome.
The fireworks seemed the most useless to me. I got the hang of the Sonic Trap the best. Although, I mostly focused on upgrading character's attack, so I easily one punch enemies at any range.

Better Call Rose: Save Santa ClausWow, this is a great game! Amazing you could do all this in 7 days! I kept playing for quite a while. It took me a while to figure out you were meant to return home to use your potions. I could see it told me I had them and I kept expecting them to be an icon underneath the slingshot, but when I couldn't find that I eventually read the instructions and found it there. Then I figured out how to actually play and I kept going from there. The turn-based but also real-time was quite interesting.

You Shall Not Pass the ParcelI can't tell you how much I appreciate your feedback! I started on the 12th and have been working solo for almost 15 hours a day since then. It definitely wouldn't have been possible without using external icon assets.
There are several things I didn't have time to polish, like the save system (it triggers when entering the house instead of leaving), allowing potions to be used during combat/map, or adding more in-game guidance. However, I’ll keep working on it if I see the game has potential. Thanks again for your support!
