With these colors, honestly it’s painful to look at. And that’s a real shame because the sprites themselves are well made.
The dissonant take on jingle bells was great. Right on point for the game’s overall evil-christmas style.
I had some trouble with Santa’s moving hand, judging where its hitbox would be. I bet if you drew the hand a little squarer, esp around its lower edge, you could mitigate that confusion.
As to the game itself: Awesome! Tightly designed fetch quests, not much challenge, and a giant boss fight. Total NES style, I love it.
Just… seriously… the colors!
