The Holiday Advent Calendar fun continues!
Story: It's close to the holiday break, and a bored young student scribbles seasonal pictures. As he begins to drift off to sleep, they start to come to life..

The engine is still a tad buggy but I'm going to keep working at it. With a little tweaking there's a few games I'd like to get out of this framework in the near future.. :)
Nice! This felt very festive. I like the secret unlock at the end for a good score. :-)
Very broken physics. Can't pass the 2nd screen for all the balls getting stuck.
@TimSwast: Thanks for the feedback!
@joealarson: Ah sorry about that -- there are some quirks and the engine is still being worked on. Mostly it has to do with handlings on endpoint collisions (balls can get glued to a line).
Levels were designed with this in mind though. So it should still be possible to clear all stages in 5 balls or less. Good luck!
really cute and festive game! love the style of the doodles, looks like moving paper cutouts.
