This game looks very please. Though I couldn't fully figure out how it plays (that's probably my own fault though). Good job!

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 03:56

Hahah I like the style, very funny! :D

Cute game. The are is really well done, the thematic is neat, great job ! Unfortunately, a lot of kids lost their teeth, I'm not very good ;)

mr-isaer 2013-12-16 04:05

i like this style, and very fun)

syl 2013-12-16 04:28

fun :D

The arm controls are just quirky enough to work, but just a little too quirky for me. Awesome sound effects.

endesga 2013-12-16 04:39

Hahahaha, very cool and funny!
Reminds me of "Monsters Ate My Condo" for some reason xD

Art is clean, and colourful. Nice!

tiffi 2013-12-16 04:51

Cute graphics but the controls are a litte bit weird

gatechgrad 2013-12-16 04:53

Kids love those candy canes!

thein 2013-12-16 05:12

I love the visual style. The arm movement is a little picky sometimes, but it works for the most part. Good use of the theme as well!

"TIP: Shake children around after they eat some candy for some easy teeth."

Words to live by.

I thought it was a lack of sleep that made the game hard to play for me last night. Now with a few hours of sleep more I still have trouble to "read" the game. I feel like the feedback loop on this is somehow broken, as I barely see if I did things right or wrong. As usual I love your art! Also thank for taking part in the bestiam dare. Unfortunately you have been the only one so far, guess people don't like the idea or are just too busy. :)

I liked hands mechanics.... and the.... niam niam niam niam

daanvanyperen 2013-12-16 22:45

@Devtactics Oh god did my sleep deprived brain really write that. Apologies to anyone with kids!

@timtipgames Playing it over and over made me immune to the folly of feedback! It's one of the things I wish I had a couple of extra hours to fix. Currently the player is forced to keep an eye on too many things.

Focus tips: Focus on the candy dispensers. Red blinking kids near candy or dispensers is bad, chuck those asap.

@rezoner niam niam niam! I like how people like the sound so much and it only took me 5 minutes to add. XD

Funny game and well made. Good job

teddy 2013-12-17 04:20

lol that elf. Making him dance was half the fun.

blushine 2013-12-17 09:19

Cute graphics, nice use of the theme. It's fun, but it's tough to control the elf's arms!

coblynau 2013-12-17 20:27

Really love the graphics, well done :)

drprettypatty 2013-12-17 20:43

Really nice graphics! The idea made me laugh too :)

zephyr-raine 2013-12-17 21:16

Funny and good looking game, the controls are a bit weird bug original. Would be more addictive with a cool soundrack.
Good game. =D

_zulli 2013-12-17 21:18

I really like it! :D
Great graphics and idea! The mechanics/controls are well done but not so easy to master.
I would add some really exciting music to make it better!

If you have time, rate my game too. I wd appreciate it :))

jjc180 2013-12-17 21:37

Love the visual style and concept. The use of the theme is really creative. I found the controls a bit hard to get a grip of.

Hey just so you know this seems to run fine on OSX too! might want to update your link.

theholychicken 2013-12-17 21:51

D: D: D:
Haha, quirky.
I couldn't figure out the trick to juggle the children and keep them from eating though... you should really let us start from the previous level D:

peripheralgames 2013-12-17 23:07

I love the graphics. I found the game rather confusing at first, but I got into it.

lyje 2013-12-17 23:58

A little confusing, but a nice idea and great presentation.

marccspro 2013-12-18 00:02

Very Funny !

godstroke 2013-12-18 00:07

Very nice graphics and cute sound effects. Loved the art style & animations, wide split mouths and the way you can make elf dance :)

thatwhichis 2013-12-18 02:11

"I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them." ;_;

I likes your games, yo!

thatwhichis 2013-12-18 02:15

Oh, right: P.S. Mad ups!

idovoodoo 2013-12-18 13:05

Haha, this is fun, well done!

mcdonaldswizard 2013-12-19 01:05

The throw mechanic is great. I love tossing those children. Art is slick and very consistent. Overall very well done and cohesive game.

mcapraro 2013-12-20 20:13

really neat graphics. the controls felt a little difficult to master for me. maybe a keyboard key to chuck the kids in the direction you are aiming

potomak 2013-12-21 10:50

Really nice graphics!

johnnysix 2013-12-21 14:04

Funny graphics, and sound fx were good, found it hard to know what to do, or do it quick enough before exploding heads happened. :)

seasons 2013-12-22 07:19

i was confused at first, then some kind of maternal instinct awoke within me and i was able to pull off a final score of like, 11k. the visuals were super clean nice to look at. good job.

myyyvothrr 2013-12-24 10:11

Nice one, I really like it.

gfm 2013-12-26 01:40

Sorry, I'll probably won't be able to play this... >_<

Seems like my graphic card is too old to run this game... (from the error I got)
It's a ATI Radeon HD3200.

good use of humour :) I couldn't figure out how to collect teeth ... I always ended up with 0. Also waving the arms was funny but without a clearer mechanism it was a bit frustrating trying to grab/throw some children but not others - I think I would have preferred grabbing the closest child one with a click - then hold the button to charge up a throw (or something!) Overall, really great work :)

daanvanyperen 2013-12-29 13:54

@Dry Tee Thanks! Candy weakens teeth, so if you shake kids afterwards (picking up the red blinking ones, jumping around, wiggling the elf hands, any sudden movement should do) teeth start flying.

Has anyone reached the secret level yet? ;)
