I LOVED this game, wow
The graphics are crazy, loved the intro cutscene even tho I wan't expecting that loud music, so i would've added a little transition of the sound starting really soft and then reaching the normal music
The idea was also really creative, i loved it! that elf needs some help tho...
Jokes apart really good :D
thanks a lot!! glad you liked it! =)
sorry for the headache lol I messed out the music volume 😅
Really cool illustrations in the intro!
The elf made me laugh sooo much ahah very cool game !!
hahaha glad you liked it!
Art, great. Music, great. Theme, great. Santa, great. 5/5
thank you very much!! =)
I really liked the music and the elf saying it's been years since vacation was funny. The art was great I especially liked the coal. Overall great game :D
I was going through my comments from the GMTK 2022 jam and saw that one of your team members (marina.fogaco) commented on our game 2 years ago and also submitted this year. LOL. Great job on this btw its really satisfying to play and quite creative.
yeah, I also remember youve made a shooter game on dice thats swaps weapons as he rolls, good stuff.
I see youre still making good games =)
glad that you enjoyed our entry!
I finished the play! Out of all the 2D games I’ve played so far, this is my favorite! The level design is brilliant! The music is so catchy that I found myself swaying along as I played.
thank you very much for this!! glad you had a good time :)
I can't complain about being a badass snowman! I wanna wishlist this game for Christmas this year lol
LOL thanks! glad you felt badass >=)
Moving and becoming big baddie is definitely reminding me of the older .io game I used to play, and it feels nice! I feel powerful once I scale bigger. Love that upgrade shop as well, makes this game feels even more like a polished game.
Good job on the game! Might show this to my niece when christmas is rolling.
thanks a lot!!! I am happy that you had a great time! Hope she likes it =)
christmas came early this year it seems, and im all for it ૮꒰⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝꒱ა
game was quite charming, a bit of a jumpscare with the music at the start though
Haha I am so sorry, I messed up with the audio volume x)
Christmas in August?
yes my dude! 🐸
Such a nice little game! I love the art style and the fact that you used the bottom ball for fighting. Great job!
thank you ^^
Awesome game!! Love the art style. The gameplay was interesting and the way you introduced the mechanics was great. Our game had a similar take on the snowball scaling idea. Well done!
thats great, thanks! I loved your game as well! #snowballgang
Such a charming game. Really liked the art style, you need to give that elf a vacation though, they deserve it. Really put a smile on my face when you charged up a huge snow ball and lined it up perfectly to hit all the enemies. Fits the them very well, great submission!
I really liked the initial presentation of Santa Claus; the drawings are very beautiful—great artist. On the other hand, I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Making the ball grow to attack enemies is very fun and ties into the ‘built to scale’ idea in a very interesting way
Thanks a lot, it means a lot since I really enjoyed your game as well.
=)=)!!
This was an enjoyable game to play well done.
I wish you had a volume slider or some sound settings as the music was icredibly loud by default but the game played well and I had a great time rolling over all the enemies.
yeaaah, sorry about the ear bleed hehe
but thanks a lot for the feedback! =)
The vibe: 🎄🎁🎉
The game: 🔪🔥☠️
Awesome game! Jamming to the lofi hip hop christmas music, fun to play and the size mechanic with the "vampire survivor" style game works really well!
Really hard to find improvements for, maybe at the end an endless level with points could be fun.
I totally agree with the idea of an endless level; I think it would be really awesome! Thanks for the feedback =]
He he
Nice to see you again for this game jam! As always, the game was super fun!
The Art is really cute and having the controls explained inside the game was very nice!
Also please let the shop keeper have some rest. Dude doesn't deserves this, but he looks happy regardless... 😂
Heyy! great to see you here!
i remember your game about a pig in canada hehe.
thank you for the feedback! :)
xDDDD
That was a long time ago man 😂
But I'm still lurking to see your submission. Always a great time!
Big Win!

Big Win! That was super fun, good stuff!
