It's cute but damn near impossible to aim the presents, they just fling wildly in the general direction you're moving
Selecting Simple mode remove directionality for presents but does ensure they follow a predictable path. Also, if you risk going lower the air time for presents is shorter meaning more likely to be accurate.
Very cute game! But it was pretty hard to drop the presents, I couldn't get past lvl 2 xD
I found the best way is to fly low, even slightly under the chimneys as will almost guarantee a successful delivery. Then again, you get hit by snowballs to counter that. I managed to level 12 using that technique.
Thanks for the tip :)
so nice! I like it :D And the music!
Thank you!
So it's because of those damn birds I never had a Gameboy
Seems like it! I wonder who else never got something because of this pesky birds.
I hit so many birds.
You started to get the idea when you were flying low! Helps a lot with delivering the presents. It was fun to see you playing, thank you.
I like that you can choose the music
I thought it was a nice touch, if I have another update there is a minor tweak I might do to the player.
This is fun and crazy :D
Thank you!
