Cool!
I lost at 4 days left, but it was interesting to play!
But the game is lagging when there are 9 nights left and so on :(

Fun game with nice graphics. The daylight instantly killing all snowmen made the game a little easy, but apart from that it was quite fun and well designed.

Quite Easy, especially when you get a 5-shot powerup. And *someone* really wanted the Snowman to win the theme voting :)

Evil snowmen! Funny game.
Sometimes lags for me, but playable.
Thanks for the game!

I can't move for the rest of the game as soon as night comes

Errrrrr.

I really liked it except I don't understand what was happening with the movement, I basically had no control over the "me" box of presents, half the time I was stuck under the table, and then after that I just few out the door to the right and never came back :/

Other than that I really liked the day/night thing and how that tied into Christmas as a countdown :) The game is fun, it's just... I couldn't do anything with it really. Would have loved to see more mechanics in terms of the shooting instead of just shoot and shoot. Ammo? Different shots?

Still, good job :)

I beat it, made it all the way to Christmas! Hope my mouse still works after this.

Fun game to play! I frankly like the idea of 'being' a present myself. The graphics also look really nice, except sometimes presents' shaders act kinda weird?

Really liked the game! You can even hide below the table and wait till it's all over xD

The only thing that disappointed me was no proper ending ;(

Anyway, good job!

The shooting feels satisfying, but a bit too easy.* Would have liked to see more weapon options and perhaps some more pickups. Also liked the day / night cycle, would have been nice to make more use of that. Example: some base-building during the day, and some shooting in the evening. But i understand, the time limit perhaps doesn't allow that :D

Nice game overall!
(*I want a new mouse for christmas!)

I love the dynamic lighting and the feel of evil snowmen getting blown up

Really good game. I like the 'not use' of snowman theme ;) My mouse need some rest now.

Unique idea, simple but still impressive visually. I felt like some of my presents were getting away even when I didnt see what happened. Maybe day/night could be faster?

Days till Christmas: 0
Presents left: 9. Yayy, my precious presents.

This game should be "snowman storm". Nice game!

Some presents just flew away, at the end I had only 2 left but the screen told me 9. I really like the lights effect on your game, I think I will try to do something like this in a next jame.
Nice game ! well done !

Very cool entry. I liked how the physics were used: I could push presents and snowmen around. Very good.

Also, the mechanics are solid: weapon upgrades are nice. Tougher enemies.

Good job.

Very fun game. Powerups are hard to run for because they go away too quickly. Shading is a little quirky but no reason to take a star off for it. Deliverers a good mood and humorous. Fits the theme, audio gets annoying at times but easy fix. Innovation is lacking because I've played a lot of games just like this but this one is quite fun. Good job!

It's pretty cool! Controls are a bit unusual but the whole thing is smooth and enjoyable. I liked the torches system, it's original and well used. The random generation is cool as well and helps keeping the fun after of a retry.
