Nice game! I like the music and how silly the anvils are. But the snowflakes are a bit hard to see, and the sound effect of them falling on the ground could use some improvements.

Nice job! The thing is that sometimes snowflakes come through the anvil.

I would be grateful if you also rated our game)

I liked it, I've seen similar games but it was an interesting move having the anvil sway back and forth like that, made it feel unique. There's some physics issues in that sometimes snowflakes can glitch through the anvil, maybe this could be fixed by making the anvil collider droop much lower compared to what anvils look like on screen? And the snowflakes could stand out a bit more from the background. Other than that it was really good.

Felt a bit buggy, but the idea was fun and I liked the atmosphere.

I love physics games! This is easy to understand and play from the start.

weirdly nostalgic, the snowflake blended into the background at times but good job!

Pretty fun game, the performance I don't mind especially since this was done on the last day of christmas but the only complaint I really have is just how it's difficult to follow the snowflakes when there's snow trees and whatnot with snow on it behind it. Would've been good to add an outline to the snowflakes to make them more easier to follow but besides that, amazing job and congrats on your work!

Pretty fun little game of keep up! It was a little difficult to see the snowflakes at times and I kept getting it stuck on the edge of the screen and couldn't get it out lol. Great job though I enjoyed playing!

It was kind of hard to see the snowflakes, but bouncing them on the anvils and destroying as many presents as possible was fun to do.

Nice game, I felt like it was a little challenging lol but overall it's fun, it was a little difficult to see the snowflake at first but then I got a decent score ;)

Just one suggestion; as time passes, snowflake does not bounce anymore. Eventually it falls not because of my mistake but lack of its force.  

Developer

Thanks for the input, I ran out of time before I could remedy this in a good way - as it is now You can actually push them upwards and get some bounce back, but it is not easy and not an optimal from a gameplay perspective.

Cool concept! I enjoyed the art, it was really nice. I didn't understand at first what I was doing because the snowflake was small, but then I caught on and enjoyed it. I do wish it had some UI to know what I was achieving. Great work!

Thank You for Your comments and for playing the game. It was a bit rushed at the end (did it during the last day of the jam), but consider it an "endless runner" type of game :) The number of bombs will increase and the candy canes will appear less frquently as You play.
