Here's my playthrough of your game at the 23:52 mark of this video!

I really enjoyed the art style and the atmosphere for this project, in particular I really like how you did the sign posts :)

Well done!

I like how the bell's notes help indicate the player where they are. I also like how the bell's locations are randomized in every playthrough. Great job on your game!

Once you get the hang of it the game becomes very relaxing. The music plays a part in that as well. I really enjoyed it

Cool game. The main audio is matching the bell theme, but the actual carol of the bells moto would me more relevant.

yeah. When you find all the bells the carol of the bells plays. I originally  had it as the main audio, but it didn’t feel spooky enough. So I went with the piano piece. 

Thanks for playing the game!

Really cool. Reminds me of the very beginning of A Link to the Past with lighting the torches.

This was a really neat game, I liked how you could follow the notes to find the bells as it helped out a ton.

I didn't expect Santa Claus to be a fire master, but it was enjoyable

I really enjoyed the audio in this, the footsteps and the background BGM. It took me a little bit to figure out that I could shoot fire to remove obstacles, but I had fun just exploring the map. It really hit that Christmas vibe!
