Wow! I just played this after seeing the results of the Game Jam and I can see why you won! Congrats! This is a great idea that is well implemented. It was a little challenging, but not stressful to play. It played smoothly and had good humor. And the visuals were great. Thanks for sharing this and again, congrats!
Thanks Zombie for your friendly comment. It was great to be able to participate and put a good dose of Christmas spirit into a game. I also hope to see you soon for other RPG Maker community contests. ;-)
What a gem of a game. Who knew I'd have SO MUCH FUN trying to find things in one big scene. 15 elves were definitely the hardest to find. And I loved it.
This game is super creative and really well executed. Just good happy feels all around.
Thanks for playing and for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed playing. I wasn't sure that a game like "where is charlie" could be fun. But sometimes going back to the classics can be good.
Very cool and different game! I love the concept and how simple yet different the gameplay is. Very clever! A couple of the elves were tricky to find but got 'em all. Love the ending. The writing is great, sprites and art look good and are cohesive. Over all, a wonderful short jam game that demonstrates the theme well and it has all the bonus points (blondes, etc.) I enjoyed this one and think you made an enjoyable game made on a simple premise, stuck to your scope, and executed it perfectly. Wonderful job!
Thank you for playing and for your comment. It's thanks to people like you, who take the time to play and make constructive comments, that I can improve... and when I see how far I've come since my first jam in 2021, I can only rejoice.
