I love the use of sounds! It's a bit confusing when there are multiple items that make sound in the same package since only one sound plays when you shake it but other than that it's a pretty intuitive system! If you expand this in the future, I'd love to see more and more challenges thrown in as you go further down the line. This was a really sweet and charming game for the holidays!

- Very fun and fully functional puzzle game. Very good use of multiple clues of color shape and sound to deduce the correct recipient. Also a wonderful take on the theme.
- This is an absolutely delightful puzzle game with a great connection to the theme. The gameplay is simple but engaging, and the 3d models look great. It would be nice for the game to have a goal or a high score counter, but these are small improvements. The core game is fun and already awesome!
- Very nicely done! The interface works superbly well for the action. I love having to solve the identity of the gift through traditional gift-guessing means. I only ran into one issue: two identical gifts that may have been impossible to distinguish. Otherwise, very solid.
- very cool game! very ambitious making a game that relies on good sound design to be playable, but you pulled it off well
