It's an impressive little game. Music is stock and there is nothing in relation to the theme.
Thanks, whelp! We're glad you liked the game. Yes, both music and SFX are stock, everyone is credited in the description. We decided to stray away from the theme a bit since we didn't had any good idea related to it and it was not obligatory as stated on the Discord channel, "it's just a suggestion".
A fun Christmas platformer game. The music and graphics is really good. For me was throwing gifts a fun idea, but it was often difficult too land the gifts the right places. But overall a good Christmas game. Well done and Marry Christmas.
Thank you very much, JK5000! We're very happy to know that you enjoyed the game, even if the dificulty was a bit high. If we decide to work more on this project we will definitely take the dificulty level in consideration, thanks for the feedback. Merry christmas for you too!
I loved it! :D Everything so amazing and perfect, music relaxing, art beautiful! Completed in 426 seconds :P
Thank you very very much, Parminder Singh! Your time is really good, you completed the game in less than 10 minutes.
That was a really clever platform mechanic- the present warp thing was interesting for Santa to use. Losing was brutal... poor Santa T_T I like a few more "easy" levels for platformers, but just as a demo level, movement was nice and overall design looked very festive.
Thank you very much, milkchocobo! We're happy that you liked the main mechanic, we felt like it fitted the enviroument very well. To be honest the permanent blood was one the most fun things to code hahaha, but yes, it's definitely a bit brutal. If we ever consider working more on this project we will make the dificulty ramp more "smooth", thanks for the feedback.
I too am impressed with how finished this game feels given the time-frame. I particularly enjoyed how the progressive difficulty requires you to throw gifts as you run and make decisions mid-air. Would definitely like to see more levels!
Thank you very much, R1G! Me and Adan definitely needed to get some sleep after working on this game, it was very intense hahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed how we layed out things, because level design is my favorite part of game development.
The game is incredibly fun and well polished, i'm very surprised to be honest. The gameplay doesn't really match the theme, but it's doesn't matter since it's so good. It also have some nice pixel art and the sfx and music is so relaxing. I would love to see what could be achieved with more levels. 9/10.
Thank you very very much, santripper! We're glad you had a nice experience with the game. The music and SFX are stock, but thanks for the kind words, they were choosen very carefully. Level design is my favorite part of game development, so you may expect more levels in the future.
Really nice game, it would be great to be able to cancel a "gift throw" (sometimes you just throw the gift in the spikes and you're like "I guess I'll die")
I'm however not sure to understand how this is related to the theme.
Thank you, Zirk! Yes, we definitely agree with you, some of our friends also suggested a cancel gift button, but we had something like 30 minutes to compile the game and upload it, so we decided to not include this option right now hahaha. Since the theme was just a suggestion we decided to focus more on creating a fun mechanic than matching the theme.
