The music and the gameplay was fun, but the graphics were REALLY distracting at some points. Still, nice way to use the theme and fun game.

While it took me a while to understand what was going on, once I did the game was really fun. It's well made, the approaching sounds are intense and the puzzle itself is great. Nice job!
Fun game! The idea's good and the different elves/presents adds some replay value. Like you said, you don't have that many mechanics (same thing happened to me), but what you already have is simple and fun.
Note: At the start, in the logo, it says "Chrsitmas" instead of "Christmas"!
Not what I expected (obviously), but that was a fun way to approach the theme. Nice game and interesting concept (though it got really creepy in some parts :D ).
This is an EXCELLENT game. The controls are precise, the graphics are simple (but exactly what you needed) and the theme is applied brilliantly. But what really sets this appart (in my opinion) is the level design: when he says it gets hard later, he means HARD. You have to learn to use and combine the powerups (there are a bunch and they're fun) perfectly, and some jumps take a lot of tries, but completing them is incredibly fulfilling. I just can't say this enough: it's some GREAT level design.
Some comments from my playthrough: Getting the red key and the jump after the red lock were REALLY hard, and the final part (before the last ladders) took me a WHILE (the one where you fall and then jump) but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Also, the end was a nice touch :D
Congratulations on making an AMAZING game!
Short and interesting approach to the theme. It has a fun story and the game/reality switch is great.
Game was fun if only a bit too short (since you can't upgrade past the 1 second cooldown). Still, it was pretty challenging, specially when multiple zombies were on the screen at once.
Simple game with a bunch of powerups, different enemies and good controls. The graphics are great and the music's nice, nicely done!
I really enjoyed the original idea of having the game "inside the phone". The graphics were nice, the situations were fun and the achievements added some replay value. Fun game, great job! :D
Thanks for the comments and reviews!
@tudd :Ah, yes! I was aware of some of the little bugs, but since I didn't have much time left, I decided to let them be (just in case I broke something!).
@Blocker: Gah, you're right! Ehm, since there's no time left, let's just say it's a feature.
@sportsquid: Yep yep, it's really simple. I couldn't really find ways to make the levels more complex with the blocks I had added, and then I ran out of time. Something to keep in mind for next time.
Interesting take on the theme. While the game was fun and interesting (the different effects were nice), I felt it was a bit limited in what you could interact with (which is due to having 48 hours). Still, it was fun!
Really fun game! It's an interesting way to approach the theme. One thing I did miss was having powerups or a way to have more than 3 dynamites at once, but it was still great.
