Skiing Santa is pretty dope. Really cohesive graphics, too.
I think I found an exploit, I can fire 3 or 4 shots if I mash the button around the beat. I also wish I could see my score/distance/streak after I lose. Maybe add a results screen?
EDIT: I also really liked the title screen. Reminds me of an NES game!
Heads up, I started with 9999 coins and could afford everything right off the bat. I'm guessing you're only supposed to start with 100 or so coins. This looks real cozy, so I'm looking forward to playing it when it's fixed :)
I'm certified, baby! Fun game, got a little hectic on Level 10, but then the final test felt too easy. Nice progression in unlocking the tools and extra workspace. I think the game could use a 3rd button (R to rotate, perhaps?), too many different functionalities were bound to LMB/RMB.
I found an exploit: you can make the game fullscreen and then just fly at the bottom where the chimneys are and all the drones are way too high above you so you can never die
What a charming little game. The drones are well-designed; I like how they don't really hinder you unless you are carrying gifts. I also found it interesting that you have to set your stack down in order to fight the drones. The color-coded minimap is appreciated, too.
I know this is just a game jam game, but some feedback: it would be nice if there was an indication that you tried to give the wrong colored gift. Also, the gift icons for the children are a little small and I had a hard time telling between blue and green.
Lovely music. Easy controls. Loved the designs of the goofy lil' guys. Nice Christmas vibes. Well done!
Lovely vibes. Great, cohesive graphics. Interesting level design. What a nice little Christmas game! I liked being able to tackle the game at my own pace. A fun casual romp, and I can see the speed-running roots being addictive for some.
The controls took some getting used to, but once I learned them, they were really responsive and fluid, and it was fun zoopin' around the map.
For more casual players, it would be nice to have some sort of indication pointing to the last few pieces of candy once you're down to 2 or 3 left in an area.
Also, I wasn't quite sure what to do after collecting 200 pieces aside from getting up high and sacrificing myself to the flame spirit. Which was still dope.
Overall, a nice, cozy, enjoyable little package. Thank you!
Awesome, I was waiting for this to be on Steam to pick it up! Does the Steam version also come with a GBA ROM, or is it the enhanced version only? I couldn't find this information on the Steam page.
We sat down and finished it in one sitting. Very cute! I love that there is a train to ride around your town! I can see myself coming back next year to redecorate my town. Thank you!
Nice! The gameplay feels just right, and the graphics are nice and clean. Love the world map. I thought that the Coal Stocking power-up was thematically perfect, too! Everything is so incredibly polished, it's just a shame the demo is so short!
If I had some suggestions for multiplayer:
It would be more fun if you could bump into each other or jump on each others' heads, like in New Super Mario Bros Wii. My wife and I are both good at platforming games, so we like to compete and try to mess with each other :P
I hope there is a way to respawn if one player dies early on in the level!
This is legit one of the best Christmas games on itchio! Short and sweet. Really polished gameplay (although weirdly hard at parts), really beautiful graphics and storybook pictures, and nice music. All-in-all, a great li'l package! Thank you!
It was a pretty enjoyable playthrough. Short and sweet. Cute aesthetics! It took a bit to get used to the air controls. I wish the polar bears would be my friend.
Pretty hard! The background scrolls so fast that it gives me a headache, but I made the window smaller and it helped. My high score was 26. I liked the nice touch that the music didn't reset when I died so I could listen to the whole song.
P.S.: Avoid gifts? But doesn't Santa want gifts? 😜
I played to unlock Ordainment Man, but I wish I saved up for Snowball instead. I wish I could fire more than one bullet at a time! I thought it was funny that every enemy you defeated had a name.
I liked it! Exploring to find the key was fun, and the levels were nicely laid out. I think it could use more checkpoints at the treadmill and swinging platform part, though! Also, I figured out you could sprint a little too late, lol. Nice music, simple controls, and some nice clean graphics. Good!
Excellent! You nailed the UI for Picross--very responsive controls (which are surprisingly important when solving these puzzles quickly!). This has become my most-played Playdate game.
The only thing that's missing for me are some nice minimalist sound effects when navigating, filling, and marking. Also, I can't wait for the Playdate SDK to get network functionality so we can upload our puzzles :)
What a blast! I love this mod so far. The weapons all feel fantastic. I love that you've incorporated the verticality of the Castlevania games into this!
Same situation for me on my 165 Hz monitor, only on the HTML 5 version. I made it to the 5th level The downloaded version ran fine. Felt almost like slow-mo, so I beat it in 15 fails ;)
