Super cool and smooth !
Also nice screenshot but I feel like it spoils a bit the end of the game.
Anyway really nice and pretty animations
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD31 → Summoning of the Santa

Thanks ponk. Hmmm. Any idea what should I use as the cover image if not santa?
Amazing game, really beautiful, it would play well on a mobile device :D
Actually, this is the best game I've played. I'm so sick of platformers everywhere :)
The box seemed a little long. I think that's because I wasn't viewing it as a puzzle/math game. The nested doll feel is fantastic. I think you should expand on this and make it a full game. Maybe have different levels/dolls with different puzzles. Have a young children's level where it is a set of matching puzzles, like your tree. Then have a simple math group for elementary age children. And have a more intense logic combination for young adults and older. Parents would eat this up, especially with a holiday theme. (one last thing) My sister in law says that she only spends money on mobile apps when it something my niece can play. Think about that :)
Interesting puzzles, and fantastic graphical style! The ending is perfect (love the animation!), kind of reminds me of the Super Mario 64 title screen. :P The only problem is that feel the tree and prison puzzles were a little too easy, it took me much longer to do box than the other two.
The puzzle were not to easy and not to difficult,at least for me.
The music is weirdly intense, like there's a serial killer with a santa mask behind me.
Cool game breh!
This one is really good! I give it 5 of 5 :D
Love the you implementation of theme, the graphics/animations, audio and the puzzles. Simple yet interesting. Also the horned santa was great! :D
PS.: when the santa appeared some of elements from previous level remained in the scene.
.... Music,gameplay good work! I Like this puzzle game ! +100 points for you ! :-D. Also check my project if you have some time,mate! :)
Reminds me of The Room. Good job.
Nice puzzles :)
Really nice aesthetics and i love the music and the mood it creates
It felt short, but thats good! it means i want more puzzles to solve ^^
lots of stars for you :3
Nice little puzzle game. The Box was definitely my favorite. I had the most trouble with The Tree, I had a problem seeing "the pattern" I guess. Compared to the other two, in time spent on them and difficulty level, the last puzzle seemed kind of simple. I really liked this one though, having different sorts of puzzles makes you think.
Forget about what I said about spoiling and stuff, the end is well polished !
Great work !
nice
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was the happy mask guy from ocarina of time lol. Anway, really fascinating idea! Looks awesome, and was pretty puzzling for a short game. Really great work!
One of my favourite! I absolutely love the artstyle, and I found the enigmas simple, yet effective (reminded me a little of The Room). 5 stars for you sir.
Not sure if I'm happy to have summoned Santa!!
Really cool game, loved the atmosphere & animations.
Strange ambience, but fun.
Pretty cool game, I love puzzle games and I really enjoyed this one(though it felt a bit easy).
This is the best game I've played for LD31 so far, good job!
Nice work. Great art style and mood. The whole thing, especially at the prison part, was just screaming "it's going to be a very, very bad idea to summon this guy". Sealed evil in a can?
Very imaginative and puzzler, excellent style and gfx. Great to see something this original in the jam.
excellent puzzle! i loved every stage of the game, each puzzle being particularly clever, unique, challenging but not frustrating.
the graphics are super, the color scheme sets the mood perfectly, and to think of Santa as something to be summoned is a very creative idea, like if it is an annual ritual to be performed ahah!
i loved this very much, congratulations!
Nice puzzles! This was a really nice way to do the "no explanation" approach. I love the art style and the Santa character. Very smart.
Cool looking puzzle game! I Included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/YpdCMKphEUw
Great graphics, nice animations and puzzles, well done!
Really good puzzle game. :D
This is definitely in my top three I've played so far. What it lacks in depth it makes up for in style. Excellent work.
overall one of the better games i played this jam. really dug this one
Cool mechanic, I like the idea of the puzzle in a puzzle reminded me of 'The Room', great way to interpret the theme. Would've loved to play more levels, great job :)
Loved the graphics and style. The music was great too. It really added a sense of urgency. I enjoyed it very much! I solved the last one but I'm not sure why it worked.
Fun, stylish and super smooth puzzle game. Looks and sounds fantastic. You know your stuff. :)
Very cool puzzle! The music worked perfectly. I summoned Santa! Made me feel smart. :)
Great Game. I thought the solution to the third puzzle was 4372 from left to right.
Amazing entry! The puzzles were fun, the graphics cool, and the execution pretty sweet. I also loved that I could play it on Chrome haha
I successfully summoned Satan/Santa! Very stylish puzzle game, a little short but pretty creative. Loved the animations on demonic santa, and the choice of audio fit the mood well. Fantastic work!
