Really nice looking game. I love that you can buy character upgrades. Encountered a bit of a bug where one cake kepy being detected as dropped on the road even though I was leaving it on the doorstep of a house with a balloon. Definite potential to build upon!

Cute pixel art! Though I was a bit confused about what to do or where to deliver the cakes.

The Prancing PenguinI never did understand the random house with a green balloon in the middle, other then that i liked the game. It was a fun concept.

The Night Before XmasHaving a goal to work towards with those upgrades is really nice. Though it was a bit unclear what to do at the start.

Santa Clicker TycoonNice concept that I could see being built upon, the speed upgrade made the game pretty fun to rip around and I liked the consequences for road cakes. The art and music were pleasant to experience as well.

Meringue MansionEven though this might have been your first GameJam this is probably not your first game because it already looks pretty good complete and I don't want to think back to my own first GameJams. The graphics were well fit for the scope of the project and so were the sounds. After having found the first surprise party house, the goal of the game was clear and I managed to deliver 3 cakes on the first day and 6 & 7 on the next two days. The replayability was of course not so high but that is also nothing that you expect from a GameJam game but through the upgrades there was at least an incentive to try them out. In terms of valuable feedback I only have that it would have been nice to see 2 rows of houses (if they have balloons) when you run horizontally like when you do when you run horizontal. But otherwise I would say that you have probably learned a lot yourself and will come more prepared next time yourself and do even better.
Have a nice evening :=)

Sneaky SantaHad a lot of fun playing this game! I think a tutorial would have been very useful for players to understand what they can and cant do. Like commenters above I initially thought there was one row of houses and also did not know that the houses with balloons were the ones who needed the presents. Also was not sure what the timer at the top was initially, but after a few games everything started to make sense which is good! The art is also very cute and I love the little guy running around chucking presents.

Pandora's Christmas SurpriseReally love the art style and the walking animation! The UI could be more clear what each thing means. Took me a while to figure out there's more houses above the first wave of houses. Having to find the houses was pretty fun.

The Naughty KidsGood little game with an easy to grasp concept. Art is minimalistic but cool, and well I loved it all. Well done !

Surprise FrenzySuper fun little game, like the art style and original idea. Also the upgrades/money menu is really cool and adds to the fun. Only thing was it wasn't really explained very well - it took a few rounds to realise I could collect more cakes and also that if you went up there were more houses but apart from that brilliant game! :)
