How does the game fit the theme?
Santa Claus must risk being seen by naughty children for his Christmas cookies
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just some step sounds and fireplace sound effect
And the music was made by a friend

Love the game in general. Nice Art. Good game mechanics. All around solid game.
Thank you so much !!!
Clever idea. I like the art a lot.
Thank you :D
I like how the mechanics are progressively taught to player. I got stuck in the spiral level due the kiddos running away from me and eventually blocking my path. Maybe I could've gotten through the level if I had the patience, but alas. Solid work on the execution and presentation.
HO-HO-HO!
Thank you for the feedback ! Yeah I think I was lucky during my playtesting xD If i'm making a post jam version this level might be cut, and I'll change the behaviour of the kids.
HO-HO-HO!
super adorable art
Thanks 😁
Very cute art, always a sucker for some good pixel art :)
Bahahah thank you xD
I really liked the pixel art and the game idea! Congratulations!
Thank you :D
The pixel art and sound were cute, and I had a lot of fun playing.
The game design is very player-friendly, which made it even more enjoyable.
Thank youuu ! :D
Fun puzzle game! I loved the pixel art visuals and the way the mechanics were explained to you through the levels
Thank you for playing 😁
Very cute art and I love that the gameplay instructions are conveyed through sprites! I'm not sure if this is a bug but sometimes the children can see the present Santa Claus drops through walls, and will walk through the wall to get to the present. Regardless, I enjoyed the game a lot!
Thank you !!! Yeah that's a bug that I thought fixed 😭 thanks for the feedback !
I loved the art style, the idea was really clever. The tutorial was a perfect example of "show, don't tell," and I instinctively got all of the concepts. I didn't like the random movement of the children, however, as it made the levels longer and harder to beat. If that was removed, I would've had much more fun playing it. Great game though, you could definitely distribute this.
Thank you for the feedback ! yeah the children movement is the main issue here, I would definitely change that if i distribute the game !
I loved the art style and concept! Some levels could use a bit more balancing, since sometimes the child would spawn right near where I started and catch me right away, or they’d be waiting right at the hallway entrance. That said, it’s a really creative game and I loved the sound effects (ho ho ho hmmm 😆). You also did a great job of slowly introducing the mechanics as the game went on. Overall, an awesome entry and very on theme, well done!
Thank you a lot ! Yeah I struggled a bit the "AI" system of the kids. But i'm happy that you liked the game ! Thanks again !
It was very creative to give gifts to the kids so they don't see you!
Yeah, i felt it was fun to give fake gift to kids !
This was really well done! It reminded me of this Grinch game I played as a kid on my gameboy. Very nostalgic!
ahahah thank you !! that's a very nice comparaison, never had a chance to play it
Pretty fun! Love the art :)
thank you :D
Very nice.
thank you !
