Here's my playthrough of your game! It's at the beginning of this video. 

Developer

thanks for playing it through!! this was so fun to watch :))

This was such a cool game to play! I also really loved the ending tune being jingle bells!

Developer

thank you for playing through to the end!! i'm glad you appreciated that, it took a while to design the constraints to make jingle bells without it being too immediately obvious lmao

Simple but well-made game! I love how you get to make your own music using the rules given to the player.

Developer(+1)

thanks so much! that's exactly what we were going for. i wish we could have made it a little more expressive while still being satisfying as a puzzle game but that's a hard balance to strike, and i'm very happy with how it ended up given the limited time :))

Great little game! A lot of coding work behind i guess. Good job

Developer

thank you! indeed there was, i see your game is unity and ours is godot but you can feel free to have a look at how we implemented it on github if you're curious :)) https://github.com/Samiser/christmas-tree-decorator/

It's a very simple, but functional game

Developer

thanks so much! we defo wanted to keep things simple so just tried to keep it constrained but execute it well

Awesome little game. It's like a 'christmas master mind' game. Love the combination of logic puzzles and musicality. This can't have been an easy programming task, good work!

Developer

thank you so much, that's exactly what we were going for!! it was an interesting challenge, the code is actually all on github if you're curious. the constraints were implemented with an abstract class (new godot 4.5 feature!) where each subclass defined the constraints and the description text, then it was just a matter of creating arrays of constraints for each puzzle which defo made creating the puzzles a bit easier.

constraints: https://github.com/Samiser/christmas-tree-decorator/blob/main/scripts/constraint...

This is so cool I love this concept so much! It's so creative. A "free-play" kinda option where you can select a tree of a fixed size and put whatever notes you want could be really cool

Developer

totally agree!! i had that down as something to add if we had time but ran out of time to do it sadly. that and the ability to export/import tree configurations so they could be shared but alas, we didn't end up having that much time to work on it sadly. really glad you liked it, thanks so much! :))

I love the concept! I would add a skip or sped up option though. That way I can test the pattern faster

Developer(+1)

thank you so much! yea getting the speed right was tricky, we were aiming for something for a bit more chill but that makes sense, thanks for the feedback :))
