It's an impressive little game. Music is stock and there is nothing in relation to the theme.

Thanks, whelp! We're glad you liked the game. Yes, both music and SFX are stock, everyone is credited in the description. We decided to stray away from the theme a bit since we didn't had any good idea related to it and it was not obligatory as stated on the Discord channel, "it's just a suggestion".
I loved it! :D Everything so amazing and perfect, music relaxing, art beautiful! Completed in 426 seconds :P

Santa DeliveryThank you very much, milkchocobo! We're happy that you liked the main mechanic, we felt like it fitted the enviroument very well. To be honest the permanent blood was one the most fun things to code hahaha, but yes, it's definitely a bit brutal. If we ever consider working more on this project we will make the dificulty ramp more "smooth", thanks for the feedback.
I too am impressed with how finished this game feels given the time-frame. I particularly enjoyed how the progressive difficulty requires you to throw gifts as you run and make decisions mid-air. Would definitely like to see more levels!

Stabby SantaThe game is incredibly fun and well polished, i'm very surprised to be honest. The gameplay doesn't really match the theme, but it's doesn't matter since it's so good. It also have some nice pixel art and the sfx and music is so relaxing. I would love to see what could be achieved with more levels. 9/10.
Really nice game, it would be great to be able to cancel a "gift throw" (sometimes you just throw the gift in the spikes and you're like "I guess I'll die")
I'm however not sure to understand how this is related to the theme.

Jovial JugementThank you, Zirk! Yes, we definitely agree with you, some of our friends also suggested a cancel gift button, but we had something like 30 minutes to compile the game and upload it, so we decided to not include this option right now hahaha. Since the theme was just a suggestion we decided to focus more on creating a fun mechanic than matching the theme.
