I have recently made a full playthrough of it as part of my 26 days of uploading for December. It was a lot of fun to play and was certainly a great way to kick-off the Christmas season :D!
Thanks, I'm glad someone understood the title! A lot of people were confused about that. There's actually a double meaning to the name, but the second meaning is more of an inside joke. During white elephant gift exchange games where people are supposed to bring funny but inexpensive gifts and fight over them, I like to bring a small gift wrapped an absurd number of times so we can all laugh as the unwrapping process drags on way too long.
dear developer, i can not crouch with ctrl button. i can not pause game with esc button. Playstation 3 gamepad was not tested. I can not set graphic options in the game.
I appreciate the feedback, but the game was made in three days for a jam, and those things were not a priority. There's no reason to ever crouch in the game. Same with pausing. The game only lasts ten minutes, and if you have to leave for a while, you can always mute and minimize it. It's not like there are monsters that will attack you. You can set the graphics quality when you launch it. And the majority of PC players are going to use a keyboard and mouse, so it wasn't worth the time and money to test it on every gamepad, especially since I don't own any PS gamepads.
Thank you for playing! That's just the controller from Unity's Standard Assets. I only modified it slightly to allow a trampoline auto-jump, and then I created an additional script for things like picking up objects.
I'm a little late on this, but thanks for playing and recording my game. It was a great video! If you are looking for more puzzle games to play, you might enjoy the other game I recently published, Fail to Win. It has a similar kind of humor, but it's a lot more polished: https://tykenn.itch.io/fail-to-win-chapter-1
Thanks for playing! Historically, monarchs would sometimes give white elephants as gifts which, while a great honor to receive, were very impractical and hard to get rid of. Eventually, the term "white elephant" came to refer to any gift that was expensive but also disappointing. Now many people have a white elephant gift exchange around Christmas time, so it seemed like a good name for an absurdly wrapped Christmas present that is a bit anticlimactic.
Man, I've watched Extra Credits playing this and tried myself. Its really cool and I honest think that if you polish this game and make more puzzles, it could be a hit. Good luck!
I'm glad you like it! Jam rules won't let me update it until after Christmas, so you likely won't see much more of it unless I make a sequel for next Christmas. In the meantime, I'm working on another puzzle-platformer called Fail to Win (Respawn-as-teleporter type of thing). It's in a similar style, but better-looking and not Christmas, and I'll release the demo soon.
Thanks for playing and for making this walkthrough! I made some small updates since you recorded this. The game still plays out the same, but I fixed access to a certain Easter egg, and controlling the wood box is a bit easier.

found the secret
Yes! Without seeing any walkthroughs? I was worried I had hidden too well.

A good little game to play during the Christmas holidays! Thank you for this beautiful little gift. :)
Hey there!
I loved your game and wanted to ask if you used an asset for your first person controller, i really like it and could use on myself. Thanks!
Thank you for playing! That's just the controller from Unity's Standard Assets. I only modified it slightly to allow a trampoline auto-jump, and then I created an additional script for things like picking up objects.
Cool, I will check that asset out then.
Just fyi, if you ever need a 3d model, I am a Blender artist and would be happy to create something for you (no charge, of course)
Really lovely game for christmas ;) loved the idea behind it and the jokes!

I really enjoyed this game. Everything about it was just amazing. It really got me back into the Christmas spirit.
A really fun and short game, got me in the christmasy mood, Happy Holidays all
Really fun game! I really enjoyed doing different things to open the presents!

Loved it! I am very glad that my trashy computer can run it! Puzzles were easy and simple! Thanks! Keep up the good work!
A fun, light-hearted Christmas game :) I had a blast
Once I though about do something like that in real to give to someone but in a smaller box.
This is THE GREAT GAME. I expected from the game to be like others, but no, I think this is funny and in the style of the Xmas!Great.
I loved this little game. Even if I did get stuck half way through lol. I'm sorry the video came out laggy, the game worked just fine.
Thank you for playing my game! It's exciting to see so many people record playthroughs.

This was pretty cool. Played really well and you just had to get to the end and open that present to see what was inside. Really nice game... :)
