I did enjoy this game enough to choose to spend my time writing extensively about it. I liked the theme and I love Christmas in general. I think I intended to make a game like this at some point, but I never did. The "Santa's Workshop" stuff. Anyway, the graphics are nice and appealing. I don't care so much about inconsistent pixel scaling or such, especially with the short deadline - the graphics were nice, pleasant to look at, fit the theme, and didn't get in the way. The music was a clever choice. It's easy to invoke Christmas sentiments through public domain songs, but you thought to make it faster to convey the stress. Good choice. I thought the game was pretty funny, too. On their own, things like "no pressure" and "bonk" aren't exactly the pinnacle of humour, but everything was well-utilised. I am impressed, and I think you are a competent game dev. Now go waste your time like I am if you want ratings!
Also the music was well done even if it just an arrangement :)
I think some things that would have helped would be an auto snap system (when you get a piece in the right place they click) or being able to drag pieces to the right place then hammer them at the same time (maybe a left click to drag, right click to fix) Most of the time I had the pieces in the right spot, then would go get the hammer and it would knock them out of place - very frustrating.
I think there is a really fun game in here, the concept again is so good, just needs to be balanced a bit more. Polish wise the assets look great, and love the theming!
I would have give the player 10s per step with very complex toys at the end.
That said, the dialog, music and graphics were top notch!
Good job on your entry
