Cool art!

evannex 2015-12-14 04:51

Art is amazing! :D

Unfortunately, I don't have a browser that supports the Unity Web Player. Is a WebGL version available?

svenfrankson 2015-12-14 06:51

Sweet art :)

Nice, but it's just too short. I'd be cool if this was an infinite runner.

lxxgarrisonxxl 2015-12-14 07:04

I won! The graphics are seriously amazing. Nice work

fishtrek 2015-12-14 07:08

Love the artstyle and colour palette in particular!

It's like a dream I had years ago after too much candies. Nice art - 5 stars.

Thanks for the comments! I ran into some issues getting a WebGL build to work correctly online, so the Unity Web Player build is the only one I have up right now.

nice game, it took me a few seconds to realize that the cookie monster thing was coming to get me. :D

the-vall 2015-12-15 02:23

Awesome art!

SethR 2015-12-15 02:26

Cool art

dustoutgames 2015-12-15 02:27

Great graphics. All it needs is a little sound, and some powerups/downs! :D

dakkon69 2015-12-15 02:43

Fun game, great art! In the future I'd post your game in a dropbox somewhere, no fun having to go to a 2nd site and click play again to watch some ads to rate a game. Just saying! :D

cartoonjenn 2015-12-15 02:58

Thanks for pointing that out - I thought I had turned the ads off for this game. The game should just play now with no ad.

graphics are cool but the game is too easy. Crank up the difficulty.

xdigdoug 2015-12-15 03:06

A little short, and didn't hear any sound, not sure if there was any included. But the graphics and gameplay were pretty tight.

leuthil 2015-12-15 03:09

Wow very interesting art style! I didn't know whether it was funny or scary but it was definitely intriguing :). The gameplay itself was not bad, very easy though. Overall a nice entry!

vitasamode 2015-12-15 03:15

Art is awesome and the functionality of it is great.

icereci 2015-12-15 22:56

Very vivid colors. I like it.

adsilcott 2015-12-15 22:57

I've played some games with cool color palettes but I think this one takes the cake. I love that clean look. It's like an elf's nightmare or something!

ddr2 2015-12-15 23:27

graphics are amazing.

the idea is interesting, of actually "reverse"-ing it. In that type of game, we usually expect objects to come from the top and us controlling a character at the bottom of the screen. Here, constantly seeing what's going to eat you is quite interesting. The downside of it is that you loose visibility when big items appear, which could limit game design if you were to pursue the game further with more levels / more obstacles.

Oh, and it's definitely too damn short / easy

I don't want to finish on a bad note, so really ... the graphics are amazing ;)

fxtagn 2015-12-15 23:40

Good sense of pallete and overall design! Lack of background music loses all the possible fun of the arcade. And the game overall feels a bit awkward without a sound feedback :(

decayconstant 2015-12-17 00:31

I loved the art; very cute nightmare! :D

pkenney 2015-12-17 03:49

Well this game was definitely titled correctly! I had this great "OH GAWD" moment in the first two seconds while my brain realized what was going on.

The compo version was like "oh ha that was cute, interesting, and short."

The post-compo version was like, "OH NO GET OUT OF MY WAY, PRESENTS!" I swear I had a defective jack in the box that wasn't moving any faster than the monster at all and my fate was sealed from the start although I didn't know it.

Really nice look boosted up an interesting inversion of a genre, and the it didn't overstay its welcome, it quit while I was still having fun.

Nice work. I think adding some hilarious feedback when hitting the various presents would push the fun up a notch.

Great artwork! loved the style of it all.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-18 00:19

Weeeeeeird theme! Loved it and I wonder how you or the team came to it!

jimmothysanchez 2015-12-18 00:53

One of the prettiest games I've played on here.

x92rwzb 2015-12-18 13:01

Really liked the graphics! Amazing game!

jamesmowery 2015-12-19 07:13

I really liked the graphics and presentation and idea. Would really have liked to have seen more "game" to this though. Maybe more of a challenge, or maybe power ups. Great work though, and nice 3D art as well.

ithildin 2015-12-22 01:07

I love the trippy visual style, and gameplay feels solid. I actually expected it to be longer T_T

Cool entry!
