Santa Claus uses the candy cane as his main weapon with some christmas themed locations and enemies. The entire movement system is all based on gaining speed to land a good hit

The game definitely has some momentum. At a point I got myself just smash everything. Really enjoyed it :D

I love everything, especially the art style. MY only issue is the moving background, it is a bit disorientating

Also, you should nerf the saws, all I needed to do was walk around and enemies would die. Basically, I was beating the game by just moving around the level. Fun at first, but not as fun when you don't feel threatened by the enemies anymore

I really liked the upgrade system and the combo counter. The movement was a little wonky at times and I wish the candy cane could also be a projectile instead of just a melee weapon. Great main menu and settings menu!

Absolutely amazing game. Everything is polished, it feels fun and satisfying to play, and most of all: the UI is amazing. 10/10, no notes.
EDIT: one note, the background scrolling is a little nauseating. I would appreciate an option to toggle it.
