Very fun! Definitely one of my favorite of the games I've played so far! Made me laugh, and running into the waves not ending bugs wasn't even that bad since I could go back to the menu and just play again
I think it would be better if the gifts on the tables etc weren't physical, and if also the kids stopped being physical once they get hit. I also had some candy cane upgrades spawn below the map edge that I could get.
I actually really liked the kids occasionally getting stuck and having to go find them. I thought it was pretty funny finding them that way lol
Simple, but fully playable. (You can set off the flag "Rotate object" in "Path find" behaviour in the Construct3 if you want to set off rotation of walking kids ;))
Thank you! And I'm aware, I had some trouble getting pathfinding to work, and we were running out of time, so they just have the bullet behaviour, and line of sight, so they rotate towards the player, and are always moving towards you. When I get a chance, I'll try to switch it to pathfinding again and see what the problem was. Thanks for trying to help though!
Cute little top down shooter. One thing is the pixel size was a little inconsistent so some sprites stood out a bit
Fun art style, can be a little tricky so a tutorial would have been nice
The music and art really made the game. The power ups were good fun.
10/10 would hurl presents at people again
Very similar games indeed! I love the screen shake on hit and the sound effects are spot on!
Nice game ! It's to fun to play with snowballs :DD
The background is a way too red I think... but well done ! o/
Heya ! Here's my complete review (that I used to rate the game)
Visual
The game doesn't look necessarily bad, but as said before, the red is too red, it hurts my eyes :(
And the different assets don't really match in style, imo. Also, try to always keep in mind that there are some people out there who are colorblind, and it's often a good idea to try and have maximum contrast to reduce the impact on them :)
Audio
The game misses a BGM, but the SFX used in the game fits it perfectly :)
Tutorials
Unfortunately none :(
Gameplay
- The bonuses/maluses you can get change the gameplay a bit, and that's great!
- The game is challenging during the first minutes, I've died multiple times before understanding how to survive, that's great!
- Maybe a bit too slow when there are only 1-2 survivors. It would be nice to have a visible counter and an arrow pointing the the remaining ones after x seconds.
Fun
The game is moderately fun because of the pace. I like the beginning but not the end of the waves.
Bugs
I don't know if that's actually a bug, but I couldn't finish the second wave even if no one was alive.
Theme
In the theme, it's fine by me :)
Thanks for all the feedback! There should be BGM btw, not sure why you couldn't hear it. I've learned to think about colours a lot more for next time! As for the wave not ending that seems to be a common issue. Most of the time they can be found stuck behind a table, but occasionally they seem to all be gone. I've finished the game multiple times since uploading and I can usually make it to the boss in wave 5, so it sucks so many people have had this issue. All I can suggest is restart, and chances are it should work all the way through. Thank you!
Also agree with the comments below about the harshness of the red but its a good game. Would also consider adding an alternate button for shooting as playing on a laptop with a trackpad it is quite hard to fire and aim on the touch-pad
Nice job! Art, music and SFX were great! Controls were really smooth. Like others said the red ground was a bit much, but other than that really great job!!
This is a nice, fun, game, I would just say I couldn't play for a long time because the red is really harsh to look at. But overall good job.
Personally for me the red is a bit much, but apart from that the controls are smooth, music is great and the pixel art, retro feel is great too, Really fun game.
