Nice little entry who made here. The concept is really funny and well executed. Love the little bounce effect on animations. I enjoyed it :)

Simple, yet fun and very christmasy. I would have liked to see a little more to mix up the formula, as it was too many of the shifts felt identical.

Nice game ! Power ups are kind of difficult to get. Beside that, graphics and audio are good.

Funny game :)

Nice game, gives a cozy feeling. Quite simple but fun to play. Good job.

Simple and bug free little game. Nice mood and well sexecuted. I muted the sound though.

Its a nice small little game. The switching of the lane didn't feel too good and the animation confused me at first with its mixed perspective. The graphics were really nice except for the presents and the monsters, which were made especially jarring with the comparison.

Thank you for the nostalgia trip!

Nice game. I liked the speed of difficulty progression. Nice sprites, reminded me of some ZX80 or C64 games. Congratulations to the whole team. Bonus points from me for christmas themed game :).

This is a nice entry. It reminds me a lot of good old Atari 2600 games.
I especially like the bag of present getting bigger and bigger as you collect them, it's a nice touch! Congrats

Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!
And please go and try out my game!

Vary classic gameplay! I had a good time!

Hi there, you asked me if i can create a version that does not need an installer. So i did that, if you want to check it out. i also played and voted for your game.
it starts a little bit slow, but in later shifts it gets really sophisticated. It is really fun and i like the Powerups.

Nice little holiday game. There were a few rounds in which there were not enough presents generated to meet the shift quota.

phocker 2016-12-19 21:10

dynamic panic studios> yes, if too many are stolen that can happen, probably would be a good idea to highlight that somehow. thanks for playing.

I think you did and excellent job on the NES-like graphics, I've enjoyed the game much more because of that, well done!

Solid entry! Merry Christmas!

Good game! I find it really interesting the jump between lines, it speeds the game a lot!
Also good idea the power-ups, adds variation to the game.
Maybe some animations bring a jump of quality.
And changing the levels a little bit make it more interesting.
Good work!! Keep going!

Funny simple game, i love pixelart. Is to coordinate the speed between the lines and along the conveyors. I didn't notice the increasing difficulty level.

phocker 2016-12-25 07:17

BloodJohn> Yes, the game paced better jumping between the lines versus moving to them. The presents start to come out faster at later levels. Maybe I need psych mode!

Heads up - the Win-Post link 404ed for me.

Nice game, tight controls, simple premise, and a nice pace that kept me running all around without driving me nuts. The selfish alien was a nice touch!

Another nice touch was the 2x button right on the title screen, that was a big help.

Great job!

Cute graphics, nice game. I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/3MOSAwxK9LQ
