I knew I'd find a Christmas game here at some point, so let's see what this is: a platformer with a bounce jump reminiscent of Super Mario 64.
Salmon Ladders are evil. Try as I might, I could not pass the final salmon ladder to get to the final goal.
This reminds me of a factoid I'd heard from "Adam Ruins Everything": essentially, the origin of Christmas was a demand of goods under threat of violence against the estate. The topical message comes back to those roots.
Merry Christmas to all, and may work reform flourish!
P.S. while not a contender, this title deserves its own honorable mention for being not only the only Christmas title in the jam, but one which utilizes such an influence to speak on the important topics of greedy abuses.
Wow, good game and messaging. Everything made sense to me. This game also teaches patience and to take everything step by step. Here are my times FWIW:
I wish there were more sounds and VO. I could hear that no-good CEO grunting under their breath.
I like how you took the non-tangible meaning of the "Illumination" theme like me. GG
Wow very hard game, for me personally a rage game, my worst level was the third with 4:21 . I like the encadenated jump mechanic, maybe theres too much/less friction, its like your walking on ice, sometimes I would release all buttons and fall anyway, the dialogues/setting are very funny, good job!
One again """""Comrade""""" Santa Claus soapboxes while continuing to benefit from slave labor. The voices of his elves remain SILENT as there is no cell signal in the North Pole for them to post tik toks of their horrific working conditions!!! This game is yet another blatant piece of propaganda from the human supremacists over at the Santa's Christmas Village PR team. Disgusting.
The movement during the platforming sections could use a bit of tuning as it's a little unwieldy. I like the triple jump mechanic though! It would really shine if you highlighted it with some visual or audio cues.
The santa lore goes hard
I really love the concept! The interactions with the Yes Men are very funny (and on point). I love the simple visual design and the third level is a great challenge!
Love the idea. Eat the rich and such.
