A super simple and fun little Christmas game. Some Christmas music would have been great, but else a good little jam game. Well done.

Nice concept and rewarding gameplay! I liked the graphics 'cause pixelated characters and black backgrounds always remind me of NES games... and I love NES games. I would've loved some background music or maybe some jingles here and there.

Developer

I agree. Also I´ve been playing a lot of NES game lately that´s why the game looks like that xd, I also didn't have much time

Gameplay Great gameplay! I like the difficulty because it’s not too easy or hard. I would have liked a jump feature thought, because it would be cool to jump over the holes.

Graphics The graphics are not the best, but they work. It could have been improved hugely by adding a background.

Developer

I got busy and only had like day and a half to make the game xd. I'm not sure I´ll add the jump in the future, but I might, I already thought a jump might be good, but I didn´t have time to test take. I wanted to add some power-ups. And yes, the graphics aren´t the best and it needs a background, you totally right.  Thank you for playing.

It's a simple but challenging game. I liked how the higher the anvils or the presents are when you shoot at them, the more points you earn.

Nice game. I didn't understand what shooting the presents really did at first - but I had to learn fast!  I enjoyed the way things progressed in difficulty and thought it was a good use of the theme/object.
