Fun game! Having the elves go on strike is a really funny idea, and they're so impatient lol. I ended up playing a few times to see what the highest score I could get was (I ended up at 90, although I definitely wasn't playing super optimally). One minor suggestion I would make is to alter the way the collision works when you're moving diagonally. I think the game would feel a little better if, whenever you run into a table while moving diagonally/holding two keys, you would continue in whichever direction you were holding that wasn't blocked, instead of stopping almost entirely.

Fun game about delivering gifts. At first the collisions with the table confused me but once I got used to it, I had fun playing!
Heheheh silly little game, the elves are so SHORT tempered mwahaha- it was fun, a little frantic but hey, I didn't lose :) Had fun, good work
To start off on a technical note, the desktop versions uploaded are only the executables. They’re missing the PCK files the contain the actual game data… so, they do not run. But, I was able to play the web version so…
The presentation is decent and the graphics are nice. On my machine, the audio, specifically the music, was very messy sounding. I think the messy audio includes the sound effects too, but they were generally short, so I couldn’t tell if they were really effected or not.
Ultimately, I thought the game’s systems were fine. It wasn’t initially clear where I had to move, as Santa, in order to walk down the tables, but I figured it out easily enough.
I played this game on my stream, if you’re interested.
