This game is unexpectedly fun, and a solid game all around... I just want to keep playing it! It would be helpful though if it paused itself when reading the presents and their curses, so I don't have to skim through the text at warp speed... Even college finals could not prepare me for this level of high intensity speed reading XD

After playing this game again, I have a suggestion for you. Instead of having a curses with each weapon, maybe have different stages that are setup that play with a particular curse game mechanic throughout the whole level. Give each level or stage a name/title on top of the screen hinting at what they're about to expect on that stage. This is just a suggestion. The way the game plays now is cool the way it is. Just throwing out some ideas.
I really like this game. Very Challenging! Santa is one bad Mo Fo. He's such a menace. And yes I do feel the earth move under my feet. He shakes the screen almost every time he runs after you. You know what I'm about to tell you. Don't mean to be the elephant in the room. I know we live in a PC society. But come on. Weight Watchers! Or the IKEA diet. Sorry I mean Keto diet. Hey I was close! He knows when you've been sleeping. He knows when your awake. He knows when you've been bad or good but please quit shaking the damn screen for goodness sake! HaHa! On a serious note, if any of you old school gamers out there have played Robotron before, you're definitely going to love this. My highest score so far is 79. Tomorrow I'm going for over 100. Thanks again!
This was a really fun little game. I enjoyed Santa's "HoHoHo" before he attacks. Added a nice telegraph and made him pretty scary at the same time. The curses were a very nice touch to the present upgrades.
Great job!
This was a fun, I like the concept of a survival rogue. The enemy types were great to fight and the curses were a cool idea. Some of the enemys couldn't path around walls which made them easy to avoid. Other than that, this is a solid entry.
Nice game! Like the random curses system. Good pixel art. Scary santa Haha!
Cool game, great sound effects to know what's coming (the santa attack). I really liked it and it looked great :)
I liked it. Fun mechanic about curses with each weapon.
It's a nice endless survival shooter that has some cool enemies and mechanics.
Only thing I thought was bit much was the punishment of the curse seemed to outweigh taking the weapon everytime, but you do get to read what curse you get so it's not really an issue.
