christmas came early this year it seems, and im all for it ૮꒰⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝꒱ა
game was quite charming, a bit of a jumpscare with the music at the start though
Haha I am so sorry, I messed up with the audio volume x)
Christmas in August?
yes my dude! 🐸
Such a nice little game! I love the art style and the fact that you used the bottom ball for fighting. Great job!
thank you ^^
Awesome game!! Love the art style. The gameplay was interesting and the way you introduced the mechanics was great. Our game had a similar take on the snowball scaling idea. Well done!
thats great, thanks! I loved your game as well! #snowballgang
Such a charming game. Really liked the art style, you need to give that elf a vacation though, they deserve it. Really put a smile on my face when you charged up a huge snow ball and lined it up perfectly to hit all the enemies. Fits the them very well, great submission!
I really liked the initial presentation of Santa Claus; the drawings are very beautiful—great artist. On the other hand, I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Making the ball grow to attack enemies is very fun and ties into the ‘built to scale’ idea in a very interesting way
Thanks a lot, it means a lot since I really enjoyed your game as well.
=)=)!!
This was an enjoyable game to play well done.
I wish you had a volume slider or some sound settings as the music was icredibly loud by default but the game played well and I had a great time rolling over all the enemies.
yeaaah, sorry about the ear bleed hehe
but thanks a lot for the feedback! =)
The vibe: 🎄🎁🎉
The game: 🔪🔥☠️
Awesome game! Jamming to the lofi hip hop christmas music, fun to play and the size mechanic with the "vampire survivor" style game works really well!
Really hard to find improvements for, maybe at the end an endless level with points could be fun.
I totally agree with the idea of an endless level; I think it would be really awesome! Thanks for the feedback =]
He he
Nice to see you again for this game jam! As always, the game was super fun!
The Art is really cute and having the controls explained inside the game was very nice!
Also please let the shop keeper have some rest. Dude doesn't deserves this, but he looks happy regardless... 😂
Heyy! great to see you here!
i remember your game about a pig in canada hehe.
thank you for the feedback! :)
xDDDD
That was a long time ago man 😂
But I'm still lurking to see your submission. Always a great time!
Big Win!
☃️
Big Win! That was super fun, good stuff!
Fun character design, great soundtrack, cute penguin!
thanks 🐧 hes doing his best!
That is soooo coool. It is really fun just seeing the snow ball grow and grow and win the game with one ball. Really enjoyed it :)
thanks for the feedback!! :)
Super super fun game. I beat it completely, ejoyed every bit of it :)
the game was so creative and cute. it was really satisfying getting a big group of enemies with one huge snowball :D
too fun and polished for a game developed in only 4 days!
Really satisfying to play your game and trample thoses silly stones, the cat dodging and the slimes were a really good idea, i tried to make it the biggest possible haha, a shame there was not more level but i enjoyed every bit of it :) !
Game is super polished and really fun to play. Artwork is amazing
Perfect christmas game I love it so much. Super fun when there's a way to shoot the enemies. Very creative. Also the little fire guys are so sneaky! Add some dialogues can be better, also the music of the main menu is louder than the previous images which surprised me at night. (my neighbors may think why this guy is celebrating christmas in aug)
I dont know how a game got me in the holiday spirit in August but here we are.
Amazing take on the theme and the execution was excellent, loved how you combined puzzle elements with top-down shooter esc themes
Loved the penguin (obv)
Keep up the great work
thanks 🐧 hes doing his best!
I had a laugh with the 17.501 days without vacation! I also loved the penguin.
Awesome game!! You did a great job with it!! :)
thank you a lot!! =)
