Visual

The game looks really good! The art is clean, it's pleasing to the eye and everything goes together :)

The button to validate the "Settings" looks like a "reset" button. Not really intuitive :(

Audio

The BGM is great, but I feel like the SFX is not completely related to the game. It would have been nice to have different SFX for each weapon, and an SFX for the hurt/die moments.

Tutorial

Short, in game, with visuals. That's a proper tutorial for me :)

Gameplay

• Having a few seconds to breath when taking damage is great, plus the visual clue is really well done!
• The surprise weapon works well too, but I feel like the projectiles are way too slow.
• Santa moves a bit too fast imo, but it's probably linked to the previous point.
• The little elves around Santa make the game a bit weird once they're invisible, I thought I was hurt by nothing until I realized it was one of them being invisible and touching me.

Fun

The game has great potential, but I found it a bit too frustrating. Maybe because I'm really bad at aiming.

Bugs

I don't know if it's linked, but the game crashed when I (possibly) died.
You can click the "quit game" button while in the settings menu.

Theme

No problem on that point, that's completely in theme :)

Nice art and the voiceacting was great. Enjoyed the multiple different lines the game started with. I did encounter a bug when retrying the game the healthbars stopped working. Overall though well done nice entry :)

Nice game, the art was great and the soundtrack amazing! I felt like the hitboxes were a little off, and also it would have been nice to have an audio cue for when you took/dealt damage.

Art, audio and movement controls are excellent. I just wish the weapon usage was more satisfying (bullets feel very slow and unresponsive at times). Overall a pretty good experience :)

Really nice art assets and the music is good. Hitboxes seemed a bit off because it wasn't always obvious why I took damage? But otherwise enjoyable :-)

Fantastic artwork and music. Shooting could maybe have a bit more feedback, like sounds or effects when the bullets land, as it felt a little light. I encountered one bug where I died and hit try again and both me and Santa were then invincible. Overall it's a very solid entry!

beautiful game

Big funny and swag 

Pretty good game! I liked the concept and the execution is also quite nice for the time frame. I especially like the artstyle and the sinister Doom-like Christmas remixes. Voice acting is also a nice plus! My only issue is that there isn't enough visual feedback when you hit an enemy / get hit (think screen shake, freeze frames, flashes, etc.), so the game feels a bit less impactful than it would otherwise. Maybe something to consider for a post-jam version / if you ever make a game of this type again. Cheers!

This is fun, love the art, all the different guns. Very good! Well done!

Very good artstyle. The gunplay feels a little bit wonky and can be improved upon on. My favourite gun is the full auto. Without it the game, I think, would be too hard. Overall I had a pretty good damn time.

Well done with this game, as others have said the art, voice, and music are all great and the fight was not too easy. My only problem is that Lewis seems to have a big hit box or maybe it's the elves' bullets? I just would notice him getting hurt when I thought a bullet would go past him, but great job nonetheless

A fellow top down shooter admission! Absolutely love the art and the demonic Santa! 

Visuals are gorgeous and music is awesome.Gameplay looks pretty polished.Its amazing how you guys pulled this off in 2 days! Great work!

cool little game, but for some reason the hitboxes on the projectiles seem to be either massive or very small, I noticed that especially with the cane that the elves throw that it "hits" while I was thinking I was going to avoid them. managed to get a mutual K.O. with santa on my first run.

I liked the game but what is the surprising element. I am too dumb to understand maybe 😊😂

Cool assets, loved the intro music.

Hey, cool game! At some point my bullets became invisible, but that's not a huge deal gameplay-wise. What's the surprise, that santa is evil?

The art is amazing! So is the voice acting~! A great game!

Please check out my teams entry!

Holy cow that art is amazing for a one man effort! And the gameplay is solid too! I got really close to winning, but upon retrying Santa appeared to be immune. Besides that there isn't much to criticise, amazing work!
