At first I thought that it is to easy to supply the elves with wood but that changed drastically once I had enough elves! Funny!

I think there is a glitch I must fix - the game doesn't appear to end properly. I think I can fix that, if the competition rules allow.

The aforementioned glitch should be fixed now.

Funny and challenging, I like it!

Funny little game. Gratz !

This was fun, I liked the time management aspects of it. Funny take on the theme as well, love the title! I enjoyed it all the way through, didn't feel too repetitive or boring to me, awesome job!

Took me a little while to work out how to play. But was fun enough once I got there.

Good fun game with quite a lot of content

It's an okay game, but the fact that it was made in GameMaker makes me not like it. It's a cool concept but the AI's are too simple. The movment is way too rigid.

efficiency made up the overwhelming majority of my score, not sure if that's intentional. Also, elves would only pick up if I clicked on their square, and not if I was simply passing over them (again not sure if intentional).

Other than that, pretty damn fun rts/resource-management game. I loved how the mechanics interacted, the punching bag, the elves, the tree, the "elf spawner." Once I got my system down it felt very satisfy to take advantage of that efficiency. Unfortunately, once I did manage to get that system down there wasn't a whole lot of replayability offered. That might be asking a little much from a 48 hour game, I know, but just thought I'd mention it.

JellyMan64, do you not like it just because it's GameMaker (you'd like the exact same game better in another code language) or is it that GameMaker caused poor quality that would be avoidable otherwise?

Fun game. I didn't notice that I had to pick up new elves on the right at first.
My score was 32199. :)

I think that I don't understand, how to collect the gifts(but the idea is nice)

jprogman 2014-01-01 21:42

Very nice work on the fun game! I like how I can shake the punching bag and the tree. :)

I think by the end I understood what was going on. There are some nice RTS elements in there, managing upgrading / improving efficiency vs. harvesting wood, carrying gifts, but it wasn't clear how to do it at first. The punching bag was funny!
