That was really cool, that music was amazing and surprisingly fits this game very well! The text at the start was very slow though.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you!! I agree about the text being too slow, it can get really annoying when you just want to restart and have to sit there waiting for it to pop up slowly hahaha. Thank you so much for the feedback! It really helps me out hearing what you have to say!

The humor hit as hard as Santa's bloody bag! From the clever story to the slo-mo shots, you've made a very fun and funny arcade experience. Great work with this solid project!

Developer

That's such a good compliment, thank you! I must say PRISM was amazing too, I loved every second of it! Thank you!

The camera movement and zoom makes the combat feel so alive and active. Great work!

Developer

Thank you very much!

I like pretty much everything about this game. The "Ho" sound when he jumps, the funky music and of course, the bullet-time/action-jackson you get when you kill enemies sometimes!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me!

I lost my s*** when the camera panned in as santa let out a hearty "merry christmas" while busting someone's kneecap
and for that reason this is a five star game

Developer

HAHAHAHA not gonna lie, I laughed so hard at your comment, that's just the perfect description of the absurdity that is this game

Thank you for that! Really appreciate it!

Satisfying combat!

I got a 61!


I think the core game loop is alright, though I feel like the way it's currently designed the best way to get a good score isn't engage in fighting. but instead stand on one of the baubles and wait until enough people have gathered underneath, because they can then be defeated pretty easily as one group rather than individuals who all steal your presents.


It's a great start of a game, all I think it needs is refinement to be amazing :3 Cute art too!


Edit: and I agree with all about the zoom in and "merry xmas"

Developer(+1)

I absolutely agree with you. 

Once I got one of my friends to playtest it, he immediately did the strategy to stand on top of the bauble and accumulate enemies below hahaha! I chose not to remove that feature though because I wanted the arena to be more than just a flat area and for the player to have a fallback option in case they got too overwhelmed, that'd initially be in the form of an area-of-effect attack but I didn't have the amount of time necessary, so the easiest option that I thought of was for the baubles to stay

I'm very glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the feedback, I very much appreciate it!

Haha!
Great game! I thought it would be some kind of jumping puzzle but then the drums came in!

Developer

Hahaha! Thank you!!!
