Very good idea! It was interesting how the enemies can't actually die, funny story too. Good job! :)

Clever! It was a nice combination that made it challenging. Solid implementation, felt stable.

Good job!

Nice mechanics. Could become a well balanced and challenging game with minimal additional effort.

Great game!
Pretty challenging, especially when too many bulies enter the screen. The bossfight was fun as well. I really like the idea, that you must protect your present ^^
Graphics are quite nice as well.
Good work!

The boss is great :)

I had a problem with the game, though. Sometimes, one bully will get stuck in a corner and won't run away off screen, preventing you from finishing the level.

Really fun concept!

Fun game! Love how they pick up your gift and just run off with it.

Pretty cool idea, now if only it wasn't so short :)

Idk, this game made me laugh out loud for some reason. Good job

Haha! That was great! I loved the clever mechanic and giggled the whole time whilst playing it! Destroyed santa, too! Wohoo!

Nice work! I love the mechanic of moving the gift around and protecting it, though obviously you can just carry it forever. With a little tweaking and fleshing out, this could be really good.

That was awesome! I managed to beat Santa on my first go but it was close, I was down to one heart. Really love being able to nudge the gift box with snowballs too, helped me reposition it when it got close to the edges.

Also, I was moving when I defeated Santa but afterwards the game stopped accepting my directional controls although the character kept running in the direction I had been when I won. It was a bit funny and only the most minor of bugs.

Well done!

Glad it was so short because nothing happened.

Nice game! Such original gameplay. Well done

I like the idea and the fact that these bullies don't really die! :-)

Nice game, I love minimal graphics, but I don't like lack of music and sound effects.

lukuluk 2013-12-26 13:05

That's a very funny game, challenging with good balancing and cool visual feedbacks. Well done !
It just need some sounds and music.

Nice use of the theme, bonus points for adding a christmas theme! Great job.
