You Only Get One...

Great gameplay. It was very fun, and nerve-wracking to play.

Oddly sinister atmosphere!

I like this very much! The first time I lost it it felt so bad! And these red stars threatening to come down to take it from me! And the colors... and this glowing thing I'm holding in my mouth (at least I guess so). And the audio. Well done.

Thanks for bringing me to this game! I loved it! I can totally see what you meant with how the idea is similar to ours :). I loved the ending, totally went "aaaaaaaw" loudly when I saw it :).

One suggestion: make more enemies! It was a tad bit too easy.

Nice game. The music was nice and calming, and the concept was pretty cool. There were one or two issues with the physics though.

Kind of liked it until the slopes appeared. Controling the character in the slopes is way too difficult. Kind of funny that you can still run to the tree and win even without your present.

Oops! That bit was broken .Fixed it thanks. Oh don't sweat the slopes, if you drop it the package, it'll come bouncing after you and you can grab it in time!

really cool atmosphere, but jumping could be a bit more responsive.

So moody, I'd love some animations on the maincharacter, but otherwise this is a damn beautiful game! The sound effects the enemies make are scary as hell! Great job!

haha, what a great game mechanic! I love how the package bounces and you have to scramble for it package while the enemies home in.
The mood is great too. Very good use of package and sound.
There is a bug. At one point I just got the package at the last moment, but became invisble. I anly became visibel again after I died.

Really well done. The particles and lighting worked so well with the atmosphere. Awesome design. I woudl only add a background even a simple one to make it even cooler.
Talking about mechanics, really cool idea. It gets harder and really challenging. Good job :D


If you have time please rate my game :)

some moments where controls were not as responsive as desired but very atmospheric and sinister feeling. Good job!

I actually found this incredibly enjoyable, good job mate. I'll admit I panicked a few times when I dropped it though, hahah.

Failed to pass it as it should be done, but found a bug. If package is outside the screen they can't get it. I lost it near a slope and fell down, as a result I passed the game lol :D

Anyways, well done, can't say that it uses theme in clever way but otherwise fun game with nice graphics and sounds!

This was absolutely fun to play. I really loved how frantic everything becomes when you suddenly lose your package and the audio created a really amazing atmosphere.

I once made it to the end without the package and won :)

Nice game! Thanks!

Cute entry, really liked the idea of moving slow and careful as to not drop the present and make the enemies chase it. Well done. :)

Nice game. However, you can circumvent the whole gameplay, by losing your package at the beginning and just running to the end. The ending doesn't require you to have the package with you. Maybe you should fix that.

Ah I realize now that in the event the enemies quash together on the package. Their colliding with each other prevents any of them from winning! ahaha.. this is fixed now.

They can now win even off screen and you'll have to bring the package home for sure to win as well.

Thanks!
