This is a cool idea! The art is a bit rough, but a lot of the visual effects were neat and made for unique levels. The festive music was also a nice touch. The balancing mechanic is interesting and has a lot of potential, but the controls feel a bit too difficult to use. It seems too easy to tilt the character beyond saving, which forces you to move very slowly and in a tedious way. Allowing the player to tilt the character more quickly would make it easier to recover and would allow for more risky play, which would help shake up the game. It would also be nice to have a stage select, as the lives didn't really add anything to the game and only served to make failure more frustrating. Aside from those two details, this game was fun and interesting, and I think that it could make for a very cool game if you ever decide to expand on it. Well done!
