UI is really bad, spelling is bad, game's not fun.

Nice work, looks like a lot of thought went into the content and progression system!

I like the game premise about stealing and breaking gifts and especially the dancing goblin :)

I stopped playing before I had explored all the content because it felt like everything was on cooldown and I had nothing to do other than waiting. I'd suggest speeding up all the timers by maybe 4x to make it possible to discovered more of the content (I'd aim for 5-10min of gameplay).

Well done!

Goblin looks nice. Overall, just clicking that and another button not really knowing what I'm doing exactly. I think it's just missing the (visible) progress.

I like the premise, but the time constraints don't feel very engaging.

I'm not sure how I'd design this game honestly. Perhaps a limited number of actions that can be performed over a set period, vs making the user wait to unlock content?

The UI could use some polish, but the goblin in the background is a nice touch.

Might be worth playing with the design a bit post-compo. There's a lot of good content here, it just needs to be presented in a different way.

Incremental games aren't very involving/engaging by design, but I still feel there's a somewhat lack of sense of progression. There's a lot of different things which turn into other things upon breaking, but I don't really know or care what anything does since they all look the same to me. Speeding things up a bit and thinking about the presentation of game elements more could make wonders.

Nevertheless, nice work!

I like the idea, and the music and background/elf graphics is good. The gameplay is okay, but it needs to be more clear what is happening. But overall a fine LD game.

Hi! What would you get your dad? I'm looking for a special gift that would surprise him and leave a lasting memory.
