Fun game! Those pesky pumpkins hit hard! Loved the "juice" of the game, nice work!

Really fun game - I genuinely enjoyed it. The mechanics felt very smooth and polished, alongside the good music and good narrative. One thing I believe might work would be a hold-and-release system for throwing(Q). The longer you hold, the more power builds up, and when you release, it throws the gift with a force depending on how long you held. Great work!!!

Developer

Thanks a lot for trying the game, and that system actually exists! If you hold the throw, it goes further!

Wow i didnt realize that - my fault lol. Great game again!

This looks great and is fun to run around. Would love it if it was auto pickup, seemed unnecessary to have E key to pickup. Also a UI key hint for santa... I tried to escape that room for 5 minutes lol.

Anyway was fun, great job.

Your intro scene was really clean, the UI and dialogue box too.

This was a lot of fun and I would totally buy a game like this. At first, I was expecting some Christmassy music but actually, when the funky track starts it just works so well. The controls and gameplay were really nice. Good difficulty level too as well as placement of the collectables. A small request, perhaps consider making the gifts have no collider because I got stuck between them when placed in the drop zone, this meant that I got hung up and caught by the pumpkins.  I made it to level five but the last gift didn't register in the drop zone. A lot of fun though and you could create some really pretty levels for this game.

Thank you so much, glad to hear! I'm really sorry for the bugs! didn't have much time to do playtests.

Really fun and polished jam game! I liked the onboarding and the gift-stealing mechanic. My only suggestion would be to let the pumpkins eventually lose aggro, so the player has a chance to recover. Great job!

Thank you a lot! I didn't have time to clarify to the player that he can throw the presents at the pumpkins to kill them, or to implement a mechanic where the pumpkins run away after a while. Sorry!

I actually did throw a present at a pumpkin by accident, but since it only took about half its health, I assumed it wasn't the intended solution and just kept running instead.

Maybe having pickup and throw on the same button (tap to pick up, tap again to throw) would make that mechanic much easier for players to discover. Still, I really enjoyed the game - great job for a 7-day jam!
