Overview
My Dad’s the Grinch was a short puzzle game made for the 48-hour solo competition of Ludum Dare 26. The theme of the game jam was You Only Get One.
Since the Jam took place in December, I was inspired by the upcoming holiday’s and decided to make a puzzle game focused around Christmas presents. The player has several presents under the tree to open- but there’s a catch, they can only continue to open presents if they correctly guess what each present is.
At the player’s disposal is several different tools such as a scale, an X-Ray machine, and the ability to shake the present. The player has a limited number of times they can use each tool. Through reasoning and careful deduction, the player can unwrap every present under the tree for a successful holiday!
