Amazing game. Really nice art style and easy to play

You're right we did make rather similar games lol.

This is a prety good game easy to learn and has a cool art style.

The only real suggestion i would give is maybe have the first 2 presets guarenteeded to be positive, I played 3 games of this and each time i got "Slower Player Speed" for the first gift. 

Developer(+1)

Ouch that sucks! Yeah il take that idea onboard, there has been some changes with the Post Jam release to stop the values going as low to grind the game to a halt. Il definitely play around with the guaranteed positive idea!

This is a really nice, fun game. It follows the theme, and I appreciate the positioning of the carrots. 

I agree with another comment on here, it could use some tweaking for speed, but other than that great job.

Developer(+1)

Yeah the speed values have been altered in the 'Post Jam release' version of the game, il be sure to tweek it and get it a bit more balanced! Thanks for stopping by!

Really fun game! I enjoyed the random presents very much :D

There is a small bug where you can get stuck in the christmas tree if a snowman pushes you inside of it. I only noticed this once, so it did not really matter to me. Loved the art style and audio!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed! Ahh that pesky tree! I better go back and fix those collisions for the next update!

Or declare it as a feature: "Oh, you see, the tree has many sticky branches with needle things, so stay away from it! Otherwise you will be trapped forever, not able to fend off the snowmans!" :P

One of the best games i've ever seen  on this jam, great visuals, audio on point, quite the suprise so it fits the theme and pretty fun.

what i would suggest is to optimise the user interface (health display specifically), movement feels stiff and it's unfortunatly hard to play on a laptop, so i'd suggest maybe having a autoaim system option, or adding the bullet speed, otherwise amazing job.

Developer(+2)

Wow, high praise! What about the health display specifically would you have changed? Thanks for the bullet speed feedback im sensing a recurring theme here haha! 

Submitted

about the health display, i think it would have been better to set it matching to the artstyle of the game and not a stiff block that feels distance from the game.

Hey, the game is really fun! :)

Audio & Visual

Nothing to say on that, it is really well done and I sang along the BGM :)

Cute bullets, too!

Tutorials

Nicely done, a short intro screen with drawings, it's fun to read and gives everything we need to know (almost).

Gameplay

  • Great way to let the player breathe between waves to have them go to the tree. Maybe just disallow the gift picking when the wave isn't completely dead? I didn't realize I was doing it wrong until my map was full of snowmen haha
  • Great bonuses/maluses
  • Maybe a bit slow to kill the snowmen, increasing their speed and our strength may increase the pace
  • The knockback on hit is great to escape!

Fun

I definitely laughed while playing, well done!

Bugs

When a snowman catches you, you're knocked back. If there's another snowman behind you, nothing happens and you're stuck forever until you die :(

Theme

It follows the theme, great! :)

Developer(+1)

Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the detailed feedback! The issues highlighted have been, and will continually be worked on in our 'Post-Jam release' these changes include slightly more gun damage and squishing that bug when you get stuck on a snowman. Thanks for stopping by!

This was really cool, we went for very similar mechanics with our game. I really liked the classic Simon quotes, and the art. Very good, well done!

Submitted(+2)

A solid twin-stick-style shooter :-) The art is great and the Yogs voice lines are a nice touch. On one run I got quite unlucky with modifiers and ended up with a really slow fire rate, so maybe it could benefit from some auto-balancing going on behind the scenes? Still good fun though.

Developer(+2)

You gotta pray to the RNG gods! On a more serious note, I'm fixing a few values behind the scenes and they are available in the Post-Jam release that stops some of the values going too low to the point its not even fun :) Thanks for stopping by!

Submitted(+2)

Love the music and artstyle! Nice use of Simon's voice lines too, great controls and a solid game!

Developer(+2)

Why thank you!

Submitted(+2)

Cool game !! Loved the arts, loved the music too !! It was fun to play and very satisfying !

Submitted(+2)

Really nice artwork and fun character advancement through the presents. A few more enemy types might have been nice. Very responsive controls, which I appreciated.

Developer(+1)

Trust me, more time and there would have been bosses and everything! Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+2)

I like the artstyle and there is a good few powerups/modifiers to play with. In my opinion it could've been sped up a bit, feels a bit slow to start. All in all good job though!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah there's a few little issues regarding the snowmans speed that il fix 'Post-Jam'. Thanks for taking the time to play the game!
