Insanely stupid elves. They keep running towards another base and start to clog up themselves. I had 3 bases and one of them, with 3 pads, kept running dry from elves because they kept moving to another base.
I think its because they only check once for the closest task and then keep running though there are tasks closer to them. Maybe do so the closest units are assigned to the closest task according to priority. So when a sleigh returns it checks for the nearest free elves and reigndeers to see if they can fill it or something like that

I really dig this game. Good to see the team of the perfect tower releasing new games again. Your games inspired me making Void Defense. 5 starts
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that our games inspired you. Void Defense is a cool game. Sadly after half an hour you've reached the max wave. I hope you keep working on it.

i quit and tried again. all the elves where at one toy factory trying to collect presents but just couldn't get them, so everything halted. if it happens again ill screenshot. btw great game! :D
Thank you :)
I assume you had enough presents in your storage so I guess that wasn't the issue. I think we might increase the collection radius for toy factories to counter this issue in the meantime.
Hi, thanks for reporting.
Could you please pm me a screenshot of one of the sleigh pads which is not working while you are hovering above it with your mouse? (or simply check if there are any values in brackets next to the current load)
Hey, seems like something went wrong during the build process of v0.003. After re-building and uploading it it looks like its working again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Reindeers only enter the sleigh if it's full and they have no other occupation at the moment. Elves only do something if there is a sleigh that they can fill up.
A bug where reindeers could get stuck has been fixed in the last update.

The reindeer training facility is strange, the units go into a forest and are gone for a while, then move randomly to another forest etc. Nobody delivers present.
Hi, the reindeer AI works like this:
- Check if there is an empty sleigh that is full
- If not then go to the nearest forest
- If there is storage space then reserve a slot and pickup a tree (while waiting check for sleighs)
- Bring the tree to the nearest tree factory
- Repeat
If it does not behave like this then there seems to be a bug somewhere. ^^'
Thank you! :)
Already added 1-8 for the buildings in my local build. Anything else you would like to have a hotkey for?
EDIT: Build with 1-8 hotkeys is live
Thank you very much for reporting. We'll look into that and might release a christmas update if we can find and fix it until then. (It's a bit difficult to get enough stuff done during the holidays with all those family gatherings^^)

Finished seven levels and I'm finding it too repetitive. It needs different levels to have different challenges, somehow. Right now, the only challenge is after you get a fast start, be prepared for when the forests start depleting. Once you've got that handled, you just keep building elves and reindeer, watch your cookie and toy production, and try to stay awake until the end of the level. Perhaps some secrets to find, like a secret stash of toys, which you need to beat a cookie-dough-poor level. (That would imply you have some way to assign some elves to searching for secrets, I guess.) Possibly a tree-poor level, or a level where, if you take the trees, the villagers get angry. etc.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, for the game jam it was enough since most people play games from the competition around 10-20 minutes at most (1-2 areas) so there was almost no time for it to get repetitive. I really like your ideas, we are going to need something like that to make the gameplay more variable. :)

Silly and fun. Still, I was disappointed that making separate workshop units hurts your progress badly, because the elves are too stupid and tend to make a long walk to wherever they imagine they should go next. It works much better just to be highly centralized, and maybe make a separate candy cane for your elf ghetto.

Hey all,
we’re happy to publish another game on Kongregate!
(You might have already played our game The Perfect Tower.)
We originally made the game for the Yogscast Game Jam 2019 and since it was super popular, we decided to keep working on it.
Roadmap:
There are a few things we still want to add and change about the game:
• Balance the game
• Change and add new skills
• Add skillpacks
• Add more complexity
• Add more buildings
• ? Add an additional threat (maybe)
