Save Xmas Gifts by Gread72

made by Gread72 for LD31 (JAM)

This is my first Ludum Dare... I started this really really late this afternoon. Right now I'm having a hard time run this in my Unity Web Player... Getting a weird error with the player ... I'm curious to see if it run for anyone else who may have not update their web player.

Anyway ... This is a simple quick game - control the trampoline (that just looks like a board) left/right keyboard arrows. You have to prevent ten X-mas gifts from falling into the icy waters. The elf will pick it up.

I can run the game, and it looks nice... But no presents ever come? I can move the trampoline but nothing I do causes presents to start flying. Am I missing something?

Uhh I might have accidentally killed the elf... Simple yet fun game, good work!

I'm in the same boapt as Doitle; no presents arrived after 60 seconds. The art and music are nice, and it could be a fun reflex-style game. Good first Jam submission!

I liked the graphics and the gameplay is simple but fun + good theme. No problem for me I have the presents and everything works.

I think you should maybe tweak the speed of the gift tho as some of them are very hard/impossible to catch.

The bouncing mechanic is nice!

Not bad. Simple, but fiendishly difficult. Being able to knock the elf down with a direct hit was a nice touch

Nice simple game.
Oops the hat has inverted polys!
Love the character though, she's cute.
I wish she got more presents cause most of them are ruined ;)

I love the water and the elf who collects gifts that you save (although i acidentally KO - ed the elf with a gift, dunno if that was planned but it was hilarious!) :D .

I knocked out my elf and then managed to get all the other presents into the puddle! I are best at game! a simple little game, but that Elf KO was really satisfying and funny

I'm a sucker for a trampoline game! The Elf KO animation was funny. Art felt a little stiff. After the KO the elf seemed to stay down for too long, even into the next round. The placement of the trampoline seemed off and could maybe use a shadow. Maybe lowering it so it is in front of the puddle would feel more comfortable. Can't wait to see your 2nd ludlum dare!

Fun little game. Probably should add some bounding boxes on the edge of the screen so the trampoline doesn't fly off the edge :)

A nice Arkanoid variation, featuring snowman!!
Simple but very funny! I like the graphics and the little character running to fetch the gifts.
Well done!
