I really love this art style! The first level is the best and most detailed of them all. The scenery is beautifully and stylishly done. It's nice to watch the voluminous potted plants sway and everything. The enemies and weapons are also very cool animated. I was hoping to see those two magical hooded guys again because I was so impressed by how beautifully they exploded into pieces; I didn't even think that was possible in EFPSE. The only thing is that the lighting is a bit broken, and Santa's hands are mostly in darkness, and I'd like to see them in the light more often. (And I'd also like a shotgun :D). The only significant issue I encountered was that if I clicked on the sleigh before completing all three levels, the game would freeze. Of the short game, the level with the turrets isn't the most beautiful and is rather repetitive, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Because everything else is simply superb. The main drawback of your game is: why so little? :В I would really like to see further development of this wonderful game
Thank you for playing! About lighting I couldn't figure out in time how to fix it, the map looked ugly or the weapons looked without light... so I sacrificed the weapons lol I saw the sleigh bug on a video too, I think I forgot something there, that should be easy to fix! The game was going to be bigger, but I ran out of time that's why the turret map is so bland :v I don't really know if people will play this out of season? But I can upload at least a more polished version although honestly I need a small break first lol thanks for the review!
I don't think you need to worry about people not wanting to play your game. It looks so cool that people will want to play it regardless of Christmas.
By the way, I noticed another small bug: the puddles of blood left in the air after killing mosquitoes remain in the air. I know that EFPSE can't create real flying enemies, and you have to use invisible barriers to create the illusion. But I think you could remove the puddle sprites or make them very small so they're invisible.
It would also be nice to replace the default bullet hole sprites so they don't clash with the overall style.
Well, at least I think you know better than me how to make your game even better
You're right about the mosquitoes blood! I didn't thought about that! I edited the default blood and let everyone bleed the same, but I can update that! Bullet holes are not the default but it was done without much care... also it should be easy to change too! I'll try put some time into updating santa in a couple of days! Thanks again for the feedback, and no I just have some ideas and slap em onto the project lol I'll keep all comments in mind
