3/14/25 Update

Save Santa!
A browser game made in HTML5

idk how to write these but i wanted to anyway

Updates:

- changed camera zoom (made it more zoomed out)
- increased snowgoon speed (i genuinely don't remember what it used to be. it was one of the first things i changed)
- decreased snowgoon spawn time (and changed spawn behavior)
- i think i also changed some spawn locations but not by much
- added a thing where when you're hit by a snowgoon it attempts to back up for a sec before going towards you (but most of the time they're right on top of each other so it didn't do much)
- sped up shooting animation
- decreased health (25 -> 15)
- made it so the snowball bullet thing despawns after 2 seconds (previously never despawned)
- changed pitch of jump sfx (previously randomized, now it isn't)
- slightly changed wording of the How to Play screen


all in all, i think the game is fundamentally flawed bc balancing dodging the snowgoons and shooting feeling even remotely satisfying was a challenge i have yet to triumph over. oh well.
this is likely the last update this game will receive. i just wanted to give it extra love based on the criticisms i got during the jam. peace and love on planet earth
