Got stuck at level 4, but I like the idea! I don't know if it's on purpose, but when you click it opens a windows for level selection.

That's a nice puzzle platformer! The level design is really well thought.

@vodish, on level 4, try taking the elf to the cliff and... well. The elves are pretty useful. And don't forget the spacebar. Thanks for letting us know about the bug. We're fixing it

Was really engaging, wish there were a couple more levels with the boxes because they made the level six very interesting. Overall I think the game was amazing. Not having space bar in the elf's menu was the only part of the game that confused me until I read the description.

I really like the concept. Nice music and aesthetic! Good work!

Don't know if this is the end, but my game froze there XD

@hadryel thanks! And there are actually several more levels. It looks like you found a bug if it froze there. Thanks for the feedback, we will look into it!

Lovely! Really liked the dark humor in this one. :)
Entertaining puzzles, that have a good balance. Not to easy, and not too hard and frustrating.
Maybe think of a way a live elf can help you in first few levels, then it would be even more shocking when you need to start killing them afterwards. :D

My biggest enemy this game was me mistaking space for jump all the time :D

On the level with wide and tall elf (your 3rd screenshot) sometimes tall elf would not die, but get to the child sometimes, so I had to reset the level there a few times.

I had a lot of fun playing it and figuring out the puzzles. Great work, cheers!

This was really cute and fun to play, it reminded me of GTA mixed with Christmas, I like the controls they are very easy to use and very fluid. The commands were very funny as well. Good job y'all can't wait to see the next jam!

I like the game, especially the Christmas theme! I love how you need to control the elves using different commands, instead of just dying as yourselves (as many games followed).
