How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?
This is a christmas themed game in which Christmas characters are trying to steal Santa's presents. The anvil has several appearances in the game. It is used as a special in which Rudolph will fly over the screen dropping anvils on the enemies AND as a powerup in which Santa will swing his beard around like a lasso with an anvil attached.

This was a very hard fun game to play. The game can be very difficult if it's your first time playing it but, over time and after a bunch of losses it eventually becomes easier.
The only problem I faced while playing was this bug where at random times Santa would move to a random wall and become unable to walk for a short amount of time as if his very soul was being pulled from his body and sent to Davy Jone's locker.
Other than that small issue, you and your partner did a great job and made a very engaging and enjoyable game.
I really enjoyed the game, and having no limited ammo and no cooldown made me feel like I was using a machine gun, which was really satisfying and fun. I also really liked the mechanics of the anvils, and how some enemies shoot ice at you, and you have to dodge it, keeping you on the move.
One thing that I would personally change, is to make the game a real time strategy game. By this I mean that the shooting is automatic, but slow, and you can upgrade it as you gain more "resources" (which are dropped by the enemies). You can also upgrade other things like the anvil strength / speed. I think that by slightly changing the game it can be more fun and challenging.
Obviously this is a Game Jam with limited time and this project is still really good, but I'm just throwing out ideas.
I really enjoyed it!! The art is good and the overall gameplay is engaging. I think the aim is a little off and it is a little distracting. I really liked it!! Good Job!!
Cool game, I liked the power ups. Wish there was some way to bring the presents back to the centre, mine kept drifting outward.
Wow, great job! The game was really fun and I really liked our similarities we have between our games but also the differences that make them stand out! Great job!
Great Job! It was epic!!!
Would be grateful if you also rated our game)
Nice funny game, I enjoy playing it.
I finish it the first time:
While controlling Santa felt a little awkward, and the enemies were hard to hit, I liked using the anvils to destroy enemies. Also, Rudolph is awesome.
Really nice graphics and frantic game play! I did struggle with the controls, but that is probably just me. Nice take with the power-ups and all the extra stuff going on - Good job!
