I was gonna make a sarcastic comment about not putting invisible walls in.
I like you, you're my kinda person.

Also i'm not sure how i pulled it off, but on my second playthrough my player character fell over with no game-over indicator. I couldn't move, but i could still open presents :P

I enjoyed playing it. I found it so stressful at certain points, because you need to look up but you also need to open presents at the same time. Good usage of the theme.
One recommendation is to add some sort of shadows on the ground to see where the presents would land. But at the same time, I think that might make the game too easy at that point.
Altogether, Great job!
I found it kinda difficult to balance trying to get to and open presents and staring up at the sky to avoid being hit. When the gifts really started pouring down, I opted for more of a "keep running and open whatever's in my way" strategy, hoping I just wouldn't get hit. Still, it's eerily beautiful to stare up into the falling snow and see all those wonderful, deadly presents trailing up into the sky.
And I enjoyed the weird, capitalistic announcer voices, heh.
Overall, pretty good frestive entry :D
Loved the christmas themed graphics and audio, very festive! Great job :grinning:
✱ Visuals and audio are really neat
✱ Christmas spirit ;)
:muscle: **What imo could be improved:**
✱ It's not clear how close you need to be to be able to open a present, a "currently openable" indicator would prevent the borring behaviour of mass clicking until the present opens.
✱ Rules are too simple and not innovative enough to be interesting very long, you could spice it up!
✱ Use of Unity default font for texts in pretty sad, there are christmas fonts out htere that will get the job done.
:sparkles: **Overall**
✱ Simple yet enjoyable short experience. Thanks for the game!
