2022 is inexorably drawing to a close. For several years now, the company "Stark Games" has been trying to create a feeling of celebration in us. A cute clearing, in the middle of which the main character is located – the Christmas tree itself, and around her Grandfather Frost, Snow Maiden, pets and other children and animals. Everyone practices the skill of decorating their meadow as best they can. The treasured magic wands pump up the main objects (Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, Father Frost, Pet and Station (I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone)), while the elves are diligently throwing gifts into bags at the Factory.
This year was no exception. On the evening of November 2, the creators released the beta version of the game. It is available in the AppStore and Play Market, as well as in the browser version. I didn’t have the opportunity to run it on the first two, but I tried it on a PC and am ready to share my first impressions.
The game in the browser version is launched using a VPN if you are in Russia. Other users say that it depends greatly on the region – we take their word for it. The main attraction is the opportunity to save the accumulated experience from the previous part and transfer it here, and even receive the title “Honorary Christmas Tree Man”. Why should this work in the PC version?. The developers, of course, put a disclaimer that this is only a beta version and some things may not work. So one of the important elements of the advertising campaign did not work for me, but I have decent experience in both the 2021 and 2022 versions and had only one account. We hope they fix it.
As for the clearing, everything here is generally unchanged. Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, Christmas tree – everything is as it should be. A rabbit was chosen as a pet, and. In general, the idea is good, but outwardly it looks a little strange. Either he is too big in principle, or his body is too elongated. Otherwise, there are no fundamental changes. Unfortunately, like in 2021, you can’t point the wand at the desired item to change. Well that’s not such a problem.
Separately, it is worth noting https://vegasmoosecasino.co.uk/ the "Gift Factory". Quite unusual changes awaited us this year. Yes, the process with the conveyor belt, elves and competition with friends to see who has the most filled bags – everything is in place. Quite an interesting addition was “Tests”. The test consists of a task that must be completed under certain conditions. The advantage is that you can do as many approaches as you like as long as you have the elves required by the conditions (yes, if you don’t have at least one dictated by the conditions, pray to the god of randomness that he will drop you). Successfully passing the test gives you some pretty good bonuses. In normal mode, 100 coins are used for each attempt as before.
The elves have been balanced, and Mickey and Maria from 2022 (in the Russian version there were Misha and Masha) fall off quite quickly. It is noteworthy that, for example, Strongman not only throws large candies, but can also stop the progress of the bag for two seconds, and the “shards” of his candy fill the slightly outer bags. Zheleshka, as always, is the most powerful (in my subjective opinion) elf – albeit without changes, but she doesn’t need them. An elf also appeared, replacing the Blue Jellyfish. He has become much better at calculating where to throw the wall + he conjures something like a slowing effect with his candy.
To summarize, I can say that the game has clearly improved compared to the previous part. Of course, this is still a demo, they may change it somehow and add more goodies (at least the promised ones), but it already feels extremely interesting. There is no clearing competition yet, and no interaction with friends, but even now the game has something to offer the simple casual player (especially if you, like me, love the Gift Factory).
Don’t be sad, have a good mood and optimism, and don’t forget to look at your meadow! And I ran on to wrap the gifts.
