I'd like to immediately point out the really cool interactive menu! It fits the game's theme very well.

As for the game itself, it's hard. There are countless times I can't figure out what I missed in the house. And by the way, thanks for the Christmas vibe. On the one hand, this is a game in which we hang poop on the Christmas tree, but on the other hand, what a New Year's atmosphere it has. Btw, the timer is implemented very cool! Shotgun moves out very goofy and funny). But honestly, your game really hits a nerve(

Theme Interpretation 5/5

nice game! I had fun with it. It would be even better if the pointer wasn't just a pointer.

Nice Idea! :D The gameplay felt very smooth like a firework fruit ninja as Rodii said in his comment:D

This was a lot of fun. I played all the way through a few times. It actually gets decently challenging at the end. Really enjoyed it!

The game froze every time I tried to play it on Firefox ;-;

But I did manage to mess up new year on Edge >:-)

Developer

Nice, yeah firefox is a bit broken, i have to investigate this a bit more :D

Ruining New Year's is truly villainous! 
Maybe you could add fireworks with different movement patterns, like spiraling or flying diagonally.

Developer

Yeah, this seems fast to implement, i will look into this in the post jam marathon :D

Nice concept!! Like the fact that there's a little trail on the cursor, so my eyes didn't get confused... Looking forward to the post-jam update!!!

Thank you, i hope i can manage to get closer to my main idea. Many parts were srapped in the end :D

Its like fruit ninja but with lasers and fireworks!

Good base, nice!

As easy enhancement I would suggest "party meter" which is slowly going down, but filled up if you miss some of fireworks. Or even goal to balance it in the middle to ruin the christmas but not let people go into depression cause of lack of fireworks.

Good stuff!

Developer

h yeah, I like the idea of a party meter. I first thought of adding a life system where only 5 rockets can explode, but I scrapped it last minute. But a party meter would be a great advancement to the core life idea. Thanks for your feedback! :D

Unable to play for some reason, i click play and it freezes

Review after playing it on chrome:
I like the concept, but obviously needs some work. Very good for 72 hours!

Developer

I investigated this, did you played in firefox? This issues only occured there right now. Chrome is fine

Submitted (1 edit)

Yeah i'm using firefox, i'll use chrome to play

This is the best thing that happened to gaming since Cubic

Developer

Cubic 2 now loading...

Submitted

I love fireworks ... this game idea is evil ;-)

With a bit of added "juice", this could become a really good game.

Developer

Thank you, I think i will improve this game in the following marathon jam :)

Submitted

I liked it, it felt like playing playing fruit ninja x)
I saw that you planned to update it and just some simple 8-bit sounds will feel a lot more satisfying !

We really have about the same idea))) Which is not surprising: "New Year Jam", "You Are The Villain"... Grinch approves!

The main thing is that the implementation is different!)
