Gifts Galore! by Anachron
It's Christmas time and presents are falling from the sky! Collect as many as possible for a high score, but don't let any hit the bottom of the screen or it's game over. OK, you get one continue, but that's it I mean it!
Gifts Galore is is a jam entry made for inclusion in my mobile game, Uncle Scotty's Arcade At The End Of The Universe. AATEOTU will be available for Android on Google Play soon, and will include at least three other games: Gravity Tubing, Forever Flappy, and Galactic Invaders. An early alpha version of AATEOTU is currently playable on GameJolt at: http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/the-arcade-at-the-end-of-the-universe/40186/
Assets from AATEOTU used in this entry are game control systems like the pause, continue, and game over menus. I drew the 8-bit art myself using pixelartor.com. I also used several other Unity Asset store downloads:
Christmas Music Pack 2014 by John Leonard French
8 Bit Retro Rampage: Free Edition by Red Button Audio
InControl by Gallant Games
PoolManager by Path-o-logical Games LLC
HOTween by Daniele Giardini
The Press Start 2P Font by Codeman38 is used for text, and I am using the wonderful Screenshot Creator by DarkArts Studios for, you guessed it, screenshots!
This game was made over the course of about 4-5 hours. Development went relatively quickly because the basic game control systems were already in place from AATEOTU. Now that I have this base to work from, I'm looking forward to adding tons of new content to AATEOTU over the next few months and years. If time permits, I will add new holiday-themed mini games for this Ludum Dare Jam entry, and turn this it into Uncle Scotty's Holiday Arcade. Then I'll have an arcade inside an arcade and it will be like soooo meta omg!!!
Thanks for playing and please enjoy :)
P.S. -the back/escape button on the game over menu doesn't work at the moment because it's hooked up to the Main Menu for AATEOTU. I'll fix that if/when I have a chance to add another holiday game to this collection. In the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience.

Good job
Put some leaderboards and this is a classic!
Could have done with it being a little harder tho :)
Especially beyond 100 gift count, sweating to wipe the whole screen out! Great game!
One suggestion I would make is to have some "bad" gifts that you have to avoid picking up. That way you would have to think about which ones you're grabbing. Could make the game a lot more engaging with just a simple change like that!
