Game Description
Santa slept through Christmas Eve! Help him and the kids get cozy in this short voiced-over Rail Shooter.

How does your game tie into the theme?
Christmas is cozy right? The kids are not, so you have to make them get cozy! I also tried to give a cozy vibe to the graphics.

Nice game! I did find one bug. Towards the beginning some of the children were stuck with their heads just above the ground. They couldn't hit me and I couldn't hit them. It's fun, but it doesn't really go with the theme very well (granted, I think this month the theme was hard to work with).

Agreed! It was a weird rendition of the theme, though I did like the swearing and the rock music! 

Great job on the voice-overs to Vikrfro and future Mrs. Vikfro! Fun game, regardless! YEAY! YEAY!

Santa is old he’s allowed to swear a bit, right? Sorry, probably my Frenchness dripping into the dialogue writing :D

Glad you enjoyed the voices and the music. Don’t know if you stayed till the end of the game, there’s also a quick arrangement I made of “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, that I called “Get Cozy”.

heheh that's awesome! 

When downloading, the game booted on the top left of the screen, where I could just make out a percentages bar statying from 50% then fluctuating to 97-100% when shooting gifting kids to the face. 

Played a few minutes after that and it stayed the same so I thought that was it hehe

oh yeah, the theme is shoehorned in. My goal was to learn 3d modelling/animating during the jam and I had never programmed an FPS shooter before. So I tried to come up with something that fits. I did not want to make yet another “get cozy in a cabin” game :p

And yeah that bug appeared when I was playing around with the terrain shader to try to make bigger hills, I do not get why some houses spawn the kids underneath the terrain :/

It was my own theme suggestion, so I have the right to disrespect it a bit :D

Thanks for playing!

I loved the fun music and the creative voice over!

Developer

Thank you! I was a bit afraid the voice over would not be well-received. Since it’s the first time I tried to voice act. And a Santa voice isn’t really my style I think :D

Will play yours later :)

I think the models of the children were very functional especially because they kept their distance to the sleigh, so you really made the most of your improving Blender skills! I loved the more metal version of Jingle Bells, and your voice over was really nice quality!

Noticed some small bugs like children glitching through the ground and the sleigh not always aiming in the direction it's moving, but it was good fun and not too hard, I was able to complete it in a comfortable cozy manner.

10/10 voice acting "OH FU------"

Nice, silly fun! I did find that the kids bunched up underneath the sleigh so I was not able to hit them. Also after I had done one lap of the terrain, it seemed like all the kids spawned underneath the terrain. as the debug build kept printing that snowballs hit the terrain. By this point I had gotten to 100% cozy so I count that as a win in my books!

Great work as always

oh there isnt’a system of laps, it’s one path from start to end. But it does loop around the map so maybe you got confused there. So you didn’t get to the credits at the end?

Thanks for trying it out, will play yours later

The base idea is great of this game but I could not figure out how to control the slade. If you choice to make a version 2 of the game then you could also add a few extra shooting options?

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! You do not control the sleigh at all, it’s an on-rails Shooter ((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rail_shooters)). Maybe I could have made it more obvious in the design somehow, like a shiny visualization of the path. I also wanted to add reindeers but didn’t find the time.

I might update the game becasue I wanted to add a New Game + mode that has a… quite different vibe. Will probably add more features like “grenades” and what not.

I am so happy that you decided to voice this, it's perfect and I love it. It's a fun little game and I did enjoy shooting people in the face 10/10

Developer

I cringe a bit every time I here my shitty voice acting but it was fun to do. Thanks for playing!
