The dash was nice, and if I had more incentive to use it to get to presents--like if there was a punishment for missing presents--you could amp up the challenge a tiny bit. If you develop this further I hope you still keep it relatively forgiving, though, because that adds to the seasonal charm. Also the music is great."},{"author_name":"jackyjjc","author_uid":"21428","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 6:14am","epoch":1450505340,"text":"It would be nice if there is a win condition or lost condition, maybe at least a counter of the number of presents caught?
