Elves' Eve by zkenshin
This game was made with Unity.
Every Christmas Eve,
when the elves have their leave,
they get up to no good,
in every neighbourhood.
They sneak into a house,
through the deep snow.
They line up and prepare their aim,
as they have only one throw.
Your goal is to toss the star as high up onto the tree as you can. Obviously, according to elves' rules, you obtain more points if you throw from further away. Don't leave evidence of your visit, though. Breaking ornaments, or
worse, toppling the tree, will result in a large deduction from your points.
Controls:
- A/D or Left/Right to Walk
- W/S or Up/Down for throwing angle
- Space bar to prepare for throw
- Space bar to throw
- R to reset
- P to pause
- M to mute
- Enter to fast forward
Known Bugs:
- Animation oddities at various points.

Btw nice stuff. Had a great laugh when tree fell down.
If you have time, please rate my game! :) I would really appreciate it :D
My first impressions on the game :)
The elve's animation was of course a bit rough.
Warm graphics and solid player controls, but the music loop is a bit annoying after a while.
Liked the animations, great job! Some background graphics are a bit blurry. Nice sounds and atmosphere with warm fireplace :-)
Aiming from a range is a bit difficult.
Doesn't seem to be related to the jam theme (or you're the one elve maybe?).
With some more work on "variations/techniques" of throwing it could be a fun game, with levels may be :) Great work man!
