this was wonderfully simple, fits the holiday spirit🎄
The best art and especially animation I've seen so far this jam. Music was sophisticated too. Even the annoying typing beeps could be skipped with a button press.
Some of the riddles could have done with more playtesting:
and I don't get any feedback on if I made the right choice. The girl replied, "This dictionary has a strange ordering". Sarcasm doesn't really work in 1 bit jams, and the book doesn't look like a dictionary, I had guessed diary, furthermore, it definitely doesn't look like a dictionary with strange ordering.
It's almost as if the art was delivered and the poor devs had to come up with 25 riddles to use them. Some of the riddles were satisfying, some straightforward, but too many didn't make sense and the wrong answers never really felt wrong.
Are they drawing on the table and cat? Do they need to learn painting? Do they need paper? Are they writing in blood? I am clear the answer isn't paint here.
Wow, thank you for such a detailed review! We really appreciate it.
I agree, that some prompts are confusing, we started with a very straightforward ones, but it was very easy to come up with a right solutions. So, we tried something more tricky, but, yeah, some of them are far from the best. Besides, language barrier also played some role, english is not our native language, I’ve tried my best to translate them and keep correct meaning.
As for feedback, children do say something based on the gift given, there are 3 variants of scores in each riddle with some exception, those are +1, +0.5 and -1. So, I think confusion appeared because difference between +1 and +0.5 was not stated as clearly as needed. As for -1, children seem to disagree pretty clearly with the option.
Girl was drawing everywhere but on paper, so everything got messy, right answer is notebook :)
Again, thank you for such a review, we will take that into account!
Simple and effective game, very faithful to the theme. Well done!
Terrific animation!
This is a very charming entry. I can’t find any music credits though, so I don’t know how or if I should rate that part at all.
Thank you for the review! Music was made using AI.
The rules clearly state that “any use of AI needs to be stated both in your game page and in-game”. Please take this more seriously in the future because doing otherwise feels like incredibly bad sportsmanship.
I see the rule, that was an overlook from our side. AI disclaimer added to the page.
thanks!
Nice cute little game! I really enjoyed it
Haha nice! I loved the animations. Maybe adding popup sounds or animations for gifts, rn they are disappearing suddenly. Otherwise nothing to say. Great job!
Thanks for the review! There is actually a sound effect when you give present, probably we should have made it a bit louder, so it is not covered by the music.
Great game, especially the moment when Santa cries after losing.
Well done! Simple game, well polished and easy to understand. Sold submission
The game is very polished, didn't find any bugs and different components like the music and art work well together.
I think 25 children is a little too much in my opinion, but great job!
I love this so much
Cool game!Nothing to say more
Very beautiful graphics
Graphics, music, gameplay, polish, theme, everything is so well done.
I loved all the enigmas, they were fun! It's basically our game but better xD
Keep up the good work! That game was awesome.
Really well polished! Love the art. This is a delightfully bite sized game.
