Good
- Thats one cute santa
- Cute elves

Could be improved
- I think the sound gave up half way
- It is hard to tell why sometimes santa stopped taking presents, but going back to the sleigh fixed it
- I have not found a need to sacrifice the elves by level 3

The game is somewhat unclear; sometimes I would lose and not be sure why. I think level three might be impossible to finish because of a missing milk glass, though I may have missed it. The music sounds great, but unfortunately it seems to only play for a few seconds at the beginning of the game.

That being said - I really enjoy the way the graphics are presented. The way the player character moves is great, the bag jumping around is a nice touch, and the derpy-looking reindeer which float up and down are delightful.

cute deers, cute santa, cuteness is high in this =) ... movement is just a bit clumsy sometimes

Nice game overall. I liked the art and music.
The gameplay was alright, but Santa seemed to teleport to the sleigh.
It would have been nice to know when to return presents to the sleigh and it was a little too easy (I didn't have to sacrifice any elves).

Interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8gcHVPkzZQo

It is a very cute game, but the gameplay can be confusing at times. And the theme is not very well represented in this in my opinion.

Great pixelated graphics and good sounds. The music was great at first but got repetitive quickly.

I think you may have deployed it with the wrong starting level? It started at level 3 :smile: Other than that, the game was pretty fun. Really easy, but fun still. I only played a couple of levels before I got a little bored of it, so maybe could have used a little more variety, maybe some means of speeding up the sleigh or something to make it feel more hectic? As is I typically had to stop and wait for the sleigh to catch up after picking up everything I could. I also didn't see much point in using elves, since the carry capacity was large enough, the sleigh was slow enough, and santa was fast enough that it was never an issue.

It was a really cute and fun game! The music was fitting and the art was fitting. The one thing I noticed is that I did not have to sacrifice elves in the beginning levels. the sleigh also seems slower than santa. Overall a good game however.

Really good game, with an interesting mechanic and premise.

The graphics and controls are really nice, but i found the music special. Really well done.

I think the only thing that could be improved was a message when Santa is full, like a little text balloon "IM FULL!". It would improve gameplay a bit.

Really nice work on this entry!

This was a cool mechanic! It started at level 3 for some reason, and I didn't have to sacrifice any elves, but I had fun grabbing the stuff.
