I saw the development process of this game while we chatted on Twitter and all I can say is that the result is beautiful!

The graphics are cute, and totally fit the main theme of the game! Together with the sound effects and the music, you wrapped up a great Christmas game for the family.

Controls are responsive and I felt no delay while playing it! Works like a charm in all browsers! :)

Nice work, man, really! Great work! The optimization done is also great!

Cheers! ;)

Really like the feel of this one. On more than one occasion I pressed right and still jumped left (I was already left). Overall really enjoyed it. The elf is too cute.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't load for me. On latest Mac OS with Safari browser. Loading bar gets stuck at around 75%.

Nice little game you got here. I managed to get pretty far, but I did fail to eat any candies(?). Dunno if that was a bug or a feature :D.. Anyway, nice work :)

The look and feel of this game are nice. I would like to see a more varied gameplay, but overall: good job!

Happiness, cuteness, cheer!...more cuteness!! The music an sound effects were great. Art was nice too. I wish the elf had some fun animation to it. I found the hitting both buttons to jump in the middle spot a bit annoying. Wish the hop was high enough to quickly change your landing direction, instead. I think there was a glitch with jumping. It kept starting me over when I hadn't fallen. I also would jump into an item and it wouldn't collect it, pretty frequently.

Very cool game! Loved the graphics and sound, loved the xmas mood! Very cool usage of the theme! I kept dying when there was a single platform in the middle, but I was still able to get some nice scores. Great game!
