How did you implement the Theme?
Light - The light in my game is a spotlight that you can control with wasd/arrowkeys to shine the toys and give them life, so the toys can defend your toy factory.

How did you add the Special Object?
The Bell is located at the top of the toy factory, It rings to indicate that enemies are approaching

Loved the concept. I thought the initial waves were taking too long to come out so maybe the interval could be reduced, but otherwise really well made game!

Developer

That was also the complain of my other friend. But on later stages the fixed 80s per day time is getting too short. Maybe i should make it scale per day so that day 1 is only 50s and day 12 is 90s. Thanks for the insight!

I find this type of game interesting. The idea of the bell warning that enemies are coming is excellent.

Hello!

I liked the concept (as mentioned earlier) but also the implementation, the game seems to be polished to perfection, and it feels like I'm playing a demo on Steam, it's that cool)

I'm not a fan of jerky animations, and I really liked the smoothness of the whole game. The only thing is, I'm not sure that the special object is that important in this game, but I think the task has been accomplished nonetheless — I give this game a good rating!

Developer

This game had a really cool concept and was a lot of fun to play. The theme implementation and special object worked really well, the art style looked great, and the music added a nice touch to the experience. Overall, this was just a really enjoyable and well-made game.

Wow! The pixel art style is awesome! The UI also gives off a very Christmas-y vibe!

Developer

Thank you very much. I like your chess game; it's like Fischer random chess. Sadly, I can't comment on it cuz itch restricted me yesterday for signing in on an unknown device (my phone)

I really liked the premise; it's a very original strategy game :)

Developer

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Wow! Great work making this. It feels so polished and well-rounded, especially considering it's a jam game. Hope you decide to expand on this game. The implementation of the theme is also brilliant, and is a perfect way to add a little feeling of control to an auto-battler, where you can quickly feel like just a spectator. 

Got my ass kicked every time, but still had a lot of fun!

Do not worry i also got my ass kicked 9 out of 10 tries 😅. Thank you for the nice comments btw I really appreciate it

i finished playing and rating your game. I am commenting here because my account got restricted while setting up the payment settings so i cant comment anywhere. It started to get hard at 9 bells remaining, but eventually I got to the end! I keep chasing the birds
