This game is a blast! I played the endless mode once I got a hang on things, and my buddy Elfonzo came in handy more than once when I harvested the wrong thing.

It is really fun game! It took me a while to understand the concept but one I got it it was fun and calming
It’s great! But a bit confusing at first.
Quite a backstory, like the lore. But yes, the mechanics are a bit confusing
Game is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!
There is a weird static sound that plays when you first start playing, not sure what's causing that but you may wanna give it a look!
Enjoyed the game a lot! The three day mode seems a bit too short (not sure how much variation you can have in only 3 days of play - maybe 5 or 6 days would have been more interesting as it would give you some more time to build up a stock? but maybe I'm just not that good :) I ended up enjoying the endless mode more. Thank you for making the game!
Great game! but I think player movement is a bit slow. Other than that, music, concept, fun, everything is great!
I really enjoyed this one! Loved the loop and the surprisingly deep lore of Elbonia.
Aside from the character's movement and some confusing UX pieces (e.g. missing prices for tree/coal/cane seeds, day duration, reward amount), the game actually feels very nice when you get the hang of it.
This is SO fun. Love the dialog and the personality in this game. Wish there would have been more instructions in the tutorial but had so much fun just interacting with Elfonzo.
I like the game , it's a really nice idea, but I wasn't entirely sure why I was planting coal and candy canes.
Festive! I had fun playing this, although it took me a little while to get the hang of it. Good audio. The controls felt "slidey" which I suppose is part of the fun but it did annoy me a bit, I just wanted to move quicker! Good use of backstory/lore as others have said. Well done!
Really cool game, like the idea and gameplay is fine!
I love the vibe/atmosphere with the snow and music! The unlimited mode is also a nice option for people like me who enjoy more casual gameplay. Also, there's something satisfying about developing a loop where I never stop moving, while keeping up with the orders. The dialogue is really well-written, and childhood-dreams-ending xD Awesome game!
Quite difficult to get the hang of but the mood of the game is really nice! (Cool poem too!)
At the beginning I thought that coffee was a timed boost but trying it and speeding up, the game became fun. The song was a bit high pitched for my taste and the gameplay became a bit repetitive after a while but atmosphere, story and humor was excellent, I enjoyed this game!
Nice game, very x-massy. It looks good and plays well. Even just moving around feels satisfying.
