Santa's Workshop - Idle Game 4+

I hope that there are more games to come from this developer because every game they made has been a blast!

Wanted to like this game because it’s free and has no ads which is rare, but it’s really not appealing. Takes a bajillion clicks to build things manually which works by some funny wobbling animation as parts approach each other in a way that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t feel interactive. I stopped doing it except for the missions which force you to do it because you do nothing except tap until you get carpal tunnel. There’s a reindeer who doesn’t seem to do much except get sad and demand food, which just costs increasing amounts of money and it’s unclear what benefit it gives. There’s an “interact” screen where he stares blankly which seems pointless. There’s some automation and toys to unlock but each new toy is slower to make and earns less money than the last so it doesn’t feel like progression. So the only thing to do is open the game for 30 seconds every hour or so and collect from your factories until you get to the toy your next mission is for then tap like a zombie to build it and immediately forget about it. Not a fan of this game.

The title is not mean “building toy”. The elf can say mission on the home already instead of tap target mark next the elf then tap mission button, then finally show what is mission.

Also the workbook too. Go build, tap workbook then I want to see all list of toys and upgrade level instead of tap workbook, tap toy manual, choose toy, then upgrade.
