Loved the theme and loved beating up on that snowman at the end! The graphics are quite nice and unique as well. Great job!

Zack in TimeMy wife asked if there are any other Christmas themed NES games and I couldn't think of any. Interesting premise and I liked the theme to this. I did run out of gumdrops but was playing with save states so managed to backtrack.

1000 StarsThanks for giving the game a try! I am glad to hear that you like the theme. Much like your wife, I too had wondered if there were any other Christmas themed NES games. I did some research and could not really find any, so decided to see if I could make one myself.
The enemies should drop gumdrops often enough to replenish your supply. Did you find the staff?
Thank you for giving the game a try! I am happy to hear that you are enjoying it and appreciate the compliment on the art.
In the beginning when I decided that there would not really be any NPC's around to talk too, I tried to think how I could still tell a story. That is where the idea for the TV's and the signs came from. With them I could tell the story and have the main character react with what he is thinking.
That is interesting that the game reset on you at the point you were at. I do apologize for that. I looked back at the setup and am honestly not certain what would have caused that to happen. The only reset functionality in the game should be when you are on the win screen and press start,
