How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?
This is a Christmas-themed game where a ghost ruins the player's Christmas decorations by dropping anvils on them. The player must drive the ghost out of the house by playing mini-games while dodging anvils that the ghost will drop on the screen.

Very cute, well put together, I would say I'd prefer if it was just one minigame with a bit more to it than two, and a bit more integration between the gameplay and the narrative elements so it doesn't feel like unrelated game then narrative then unrelated game - Not really advice for this game but for your future projects.
Kittens? Christmas? Game Jam? Absolutely cute game! Loved it!
Game has been updated with a new mode! Now you can play the two mini-games in this game directly.
Adorable game!! I thought the gameplay was a bit slow, maybe if there were more anvils spawning quicker? Still very fun :)
Thanks for the comment! Personally, I like to ramp up the difficulty slowly instead of suddenly when the player is doing well. It kind of reflects how I play games: I like to take things in nice and slow at first before going all out after I am used to a game's mechanics.
I really really liked the whole game, the characters, the audio, the art, the gameplay, the way you implemented the anvil... but the begining it's too long and takes to much time to start the game
Thanks for the comment! I'm the type of person who loves lore and backstories in various games I play or follow, so I have a tendency to put in a lot of dialogue in most of the games I have made so far. Unfortunately, I tend to get a bit out of hand with the game dialogue, so I let the player press the "e" key so that they can skip portions of the cutscenes.
Great entry! I am impressed with how much you were able to complete, well done. My only complaint would be about the amount of dialog, I ended up just fast forwarding and not readying it by the end. All in all, great submission.
Thanks for the comment! Guess I'll have to reduce the amount of dialogue for this game if I were to update it in the future.
Lampshaded but I think it's impossible to lose in this game, I scored 5100 and I played on, so I mean I can infinite play?
Yes, the games can go on forever after you have reached the points requirement. I wasn't sure that players were gonna reach the points requirement for both mini-games, so I tried to make them as easy as possible. It's something I've learned from the very first game jam I've joined. The very first game I've made for a game jam was too difficult to clear for many players, so I've learned to make the game easier from then on.
Yes, another game with cats : ). I'm very impressed with the cutscenes and story-telling aspect. The ghost reminded me of the ghost from mario, then the candy cane pickup sound did as well. Very cute and fun, good job!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad that you enjoyed my game. The ghost sprites are from the first very first Paper Mario game.
Cute game, and very impressive to make 2 games in one. I liked them both, especially the first one since it went from relaxing to completely chaotic pretty quickly. The second one was also good but dragged a bit, maybe the challenge should escalate faster. I also really liked the music and the little cutscenes in between gameplay. Nice work
Thanks for the feedback! I tried to make the second game as easy as possible since I was afraid that the points requirement would've been too high to reach if I had too many anvils spawn on the screen. I've learned from the very first game jam that I've joined back in the summer that it's better for your game to be too easy than to be too hard in a game jam, because it's more likely that you'll get a negative response if players couldn't beat it.
woah! such a great game,
honestly i had no trouble playing the game as i knew what to do! i love the way you added the anvils!
Thanks for the comment! It's a far cry from the very first game I've made for a game jam I joined several months ago, which people didn't like due to its difficulty.
Great game! Thanks for rating mine!
Thanks for the comment!
Ah yes the ghost hunter gato!!! It's a nice cute Christmas story - I loved the minigames, especially the one with Max were you jump around!
fun and so adorable :3 best game
Thanks for the comment!
I love the cat animations, and appreciate the 8 directional animations for the white kitty! The story was also very cute!

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad that you have enjoyed the story. I had a lot of fun time writing it.
Very enjoyable game and super cute! Nice!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad that you have enjoyed playing my game!
Fantastic job! This was really fun to play, the cinematics you added to the game made it great. The mini games were fun to play although it did get to a point where after I had gotten enough points to complete the level I would just intentionally lose, which I guess just kinda made it feel less like I beat the level. Had a lot of fun playing it though, great job!
Thanks for playing! Perhaps I should give the player the option to stop playing the game once they have reached a certain amount of points in future updates.
The game was amazing. You laid out the text in a good way, I did not get tired of reading it. The graphics are good too. I only have an issue with the scaled-up pixel art, I did not look that nice. Overall, You have made a great game :)
I'm glad that you have enjoyed my game. Thanks for the comment!
The game caught my attention with its visual part, there is a well-thought-out gameplay, thank you for such a game!
Thanks for the comment! Also, I like the cat in your icon.
The game idea and story were great but there was too much text to read. It was easy and cozy and I liked the graphics. HAving different minigames to try was also a good idea. Good work!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. And yeah, I may have gotten carried away with the dialogue. ^_^''' I tried to squeeze in as much dialogue as possible so that player won't get confused about what is going on.
Really good and fun! I liked the minigames.
Thanks for the comment!
