Fun stuff. This really reminded me of the mini golf game from Wario Land 3, if anyone remembers that. Nicely done!

It's an original idea!! Pretty game
Fun but difficult to master game. Among the many Christmas-themed games I've played for this competition, this is the best executed.
wow, fun and pretty polished! it seems pretty hard not to get any penalties from far away, while still getting on the tree. good job!
Really good game!
Really good game )
Score: 381 points! Woo! I beat my record of -20,000!
pretty game (:
I really like how that elve is peeing on the floor.
Btw nice stuff. Had a great laugh when tree fell down.
nice game. a 2d golf like with a thematic flavour. nice art and fun to play.
Nice! I got 2393. Pretty fun. Could have used some better audio.
Good graphics. Funny! Challenging and quick to play. Real nice entry.
The theme seems to detract from the enjoyment of the game. I would rather be able to have multiple shots in a game such as this. Still I do love a ballistic trajectory game, thanks for making one.
Really nice graphics and I like the Christmas theme. I have absolutely no idea how to do anything though. xD
Cool game! :) I've liked the graphics and sounds! Pretty good stuff. Great job!!!
If you have time, please rate my game! :) I would really appreciate it :D
WHere am I trying to throw the star? Nice music and menus. Interesting art. Gameplay was kind of confusing to me. Don't understand what the points mean.
Cool game!
It was fun but rather confusing!
I like how you use the Christmas theme! nice work :)
Managed to get 5000 points after I stopped knocking the tree over :) Good fun!
I like that you can knock the tree down. Like in my game, but different
Simple but difficult gameplay. Great work! 19k points here
So mice graphics! Eve is like natural!
Nice one, thanks!
Really depressing music lol! Neat idea, though I found it tough to judge where I was aiming.
Pretty cool game :) Very nice
Christmas is coming!
Simple and fun to play. Took me awhile to realize that you can move around and aim after pressing space, and it even shows the trajectory. Really nice music and graphics. The take on the theme felt kind of weak, though, since you can retry as much as you want.

My first impressions on the game :)
Nice graphics, but the music is so sad! Maybe I just feel sad because I annihilated that poor Christmas tree.
Well done. Nice graphics, and was quick enough to not be annoying. I tried several times but I never even got close to the top, but then again i only tried super far shots :)
This is really addictive! I managed to get a high score of 13,762 by standing all the way back and throwing with power 100 at angle 38, hitting the top of the tree. I have no idea how a high-score of over 20,000 is possible. My only suggestions for making this better would be to clean up the elf's walking animation, and the text at the beginning. Oh and to make navigating the menu with keyboard possible (no one likes switching between keyboard and mouse in a game that doesn't use both). Otherwise this is a great game. Good job!
Fun and challenging game.
The dot's showing the trayectory were a bit confusing - at first I thought that the elve is pissing at the tree :P
Looks lovely, but I'm confused by the mechanics. I wasn't sure if the particle effect from the Elf was meant to be an aiming guide (if so, it's unhelpful!). Nice, restful music, however - good work for three days!
This was a really atmospheric and enjoyable game! I think I scored -17000 which I was pretty pleased with as it was exciting to pretty much trash someones house - an ostentatious kind of owner methinks! They really shouldn't go to bed with that fire blazing, the elf would do them a favour by making a bit of a racket ;)
An excellent little game :) After a gazillion attempts (yeah you only get one, I know) I managed to get over 8000 :) However, if you sum up my previous attempts, I was definitely still below zero. I rather enjoyed toppling the tree.
The elve's animation was of course a bit rough.
Graphics didn't mean much, as all the fun was related to the experience. Long live the elves! Fun game, it surprised me with its humor and polished mechanics. Good job.
Very nice game, it's fun, the graphics are very good and I like how the stars spin in the air :D.
A lot of little imperfections that make it not-so-great, but not bad overall.
Hm . Threw the star on top of the tree from 25m distance ~350 points, from 50m to underneath the tree: 1500 points :D Well some families have strange tree decoration behaviors ;)
Warm graphics and solid player controls, but the music loop is a bit annoying after a while.
Funny Xmas game!
Liked the animations, great job! Some background graphics are a bit blurry. Nice sounds and atmosphere with warm fireplace :-)
Aiming from a range is a bit difficult.
Doesn't seem to be related to the jam theme (or you're the one elve maybe?).
Pretty fun, my record 11616
With some more work on "variations/techniques" of throwing it could be a fun game, with levels may be :) Great work man!
Fun, simple game. I could definitely get addicted to this, but I wish there was an easier way to judge how power affected the trajectory of the star.
Thanks for the Christmas-themed game! I love knocking over the tree. The difficulty is pretty steep, but love the charm of this game!
Fine physical game.
Very polished. Liked the idea of being able to topple the tree. It adds a different twist to the old formula.
Fitted in with xmas! Good little game!
Not works...
Pretty, simple and fun. good job
