I love the artwork! I really enjoyed using the cable to pull me around, great mechanic. Plugging in the lights was satisfying and I'm glad you're able to walk around the world afterwards.

My only suggestion would be to map the inputs to the arrow keys (in addition to WSAD) so that players have the choice to do both actions with one hand or two hands. I think doing everything with one hand made some of the jumps harder for me personally. Other than that, I think it's fantastic. Well done!

Really had fun with this one. The game mechanics work well, makes you wish there would be a few more levels. The only thing that needs some tweaks is the jump. It feels very fast and abrupt, often results in doing the jump too often until you land it right.

Clever idea for a little puzzler.

One bit of constructive feedback, the rotation made me a little bit dizzy, I think because the camera is very zoomed in on santa. Worth testing a couple of different camera distances to see how it feels

That's really useful to know, thanks for the feedback!

Clever combination of the theme, the idea of planet being a loop and wrapping around it using Christmas light, good job!

the physics are a bit janky, but it's very fun anyways! good job :)

Thanks for playing! I have no idea why but the HTML build made the cable 10x more janky. Something to troubleshoot...

This game is really simple and does a great job at squeezing out the most in a mechanic.  The idea is cool and the level design makes the most of it. The art and sound effects are nice, but background music would have went a long way, especially with the christmassy theme of the game. For narrative, having a theme and playing as Santa is a good start, but it can be further expanded. Overall, this game was definitely intersting. Well done!

The level design is super clever and fun. I got stuck in a few spots by bumping my head on platforms above, but aside from that, it was a really enjoyable experience. Ho Ho Ho everyone!
