Totally enjoyed this runner/wordsearch hybrid. Great idea!

The chimney scene was really cool! But I think I got stuck because it wouldn't progress since one present got stuck

Ye apologies, there wasn't enough time to do anything after the chimney scene :(

Fun little word search. Wasn't sure what to do in the chimney bonus scene. Liked the art style. Well done.

WOW it has been a while since I've done a wordsearch and I am RUSTY. I enjoyed playing a few times, although I found it pretty tough to find the words in time. Good job on this entry and nice pick for the music! The only thing I didnt quite understand was this screen because no controls seemed to work and nothing on the screen seemed interactive. Other than that, nice submission

Cute little game you have made. I have always wanted to mix word games with other genres and seeing it actually executed made me happy. Word search was easy for me as I play "Connections" from NYT regularly. If you continue to work on it do consider adding more word games.

Please play and rate my game as well, thanks!

Developer

Thanks, we might polish it up and pop it on the play store

It was pretty hard to find the Words. Maybe the Sheet was a big to big. Also after the Presents were thrown into the chimney, nothing else happened. Couldn't restart the game.

(I am very bad games like these haha) Good job :)
