How is your game related to the special object and theme?
The game focuses around Santa chasing after Rudolph and his sleigh. The candy cane is represented in the grappling hook used to move around the game and the momentum theme is represented through the sliding and grappling mechanics that both help and hinder the player's chase after Santa's sleigh.

It's fun to play and the art are stunning!
It's a surprising idea for Christmas though 🙃
Glad you liked it!
In fairness to us die hard is also a surprising idea for Christmas ;D
I really liked the game, the pixel art is nice and I loved the Hotline Miami style.
You can tell there's work behind it.
Merry Christmas! 🎄 <3
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas
I love the story and this game so much. I do see some areas for improvement though. if you play for long enough the background music stops playing, and at the start of the game, I had to replay the game to be able to read the dialog. Other than those things this was a really solid game!
Hey chicken! Yeah I think the dialog would benefit from being a click to proceed rather than timer based. That's odd about the music, as the only time it's told to stop is at the end before you transition to the next scene.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I cryed...
Gud
Okay this game is f***ing insane. The dialogue is genius, I was literally hooked on the interactions. The GAMEPLAY was incredible. Being able to sling yourself side to side to avoid the elfs or shoot them with "year old cookies (genius btw)" was incredibly fun. It wasn't too long either, and I'm so blown away that there was an ending cutscene.
Super good job!!! I would be thrilled to see this game get #1. You guys have game developer brains!
ദ്ദി ꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ )✧ Thanks! You hit my heart with this one. Glad you enjoyed it!
I liked the game! It became a bit repetitive though.
If you do choose to update or continue working on this, different elf types could be fun!
All and all, this is an extremely unique idea, and it was a lot of fun! I liked the dialogue!
Hey Bloody thanks for the feedback!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This game is super hilarious and fun! Great Job!
Thanks! glad you enjoyed it!
Well I went through the whole game without knowing you can grapple. Whatever, it was great nonetheless.
Really love the dialogue. Also the elf guy looks like gollum with a santa hat on and that's just awesome.
Glad you liked it =)
who would have known that hotline miami aesthetic would gop so well with xmas
I didn't =)
This is the wildest game I've seen so far, and I love it!
Glad you enjoyed the game!
Nice game, grappling is glitchy in a good way!
Glitchy in a good way is my favorite sub-genre!
I tried to do a killless run but it was really hard x) Nice game, had a lot of fun and really liked the visuals!
Ooof yeah no stick it to the little guy. Murder away =) Glad you liked it!
very well done. I did feel like there's no way to lose and no real punishment for losing your momentum but regardless the concept is super fun and well executed.
Santa never loses (⌐▨_▨)
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice little story at the beginning, and the gameplay was simple but fun. Nice work.
Good luck with the jam!
D
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. The ending is my favorite bit personally =)
Really fun game! Had to cheat and use the Candy cane to get passed the elves!!
Totally intentional =) that's what it's there for. Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game! good sound and visuals. fun dialogue. maybe consider a way to skip/speed up dialogue?
Glad you liked it! I agree. It was planned at some point, but instead we prioritized fixes and tweaks during the remaining time.
What a game, Hollywood level dialogue and I loved the story and gameplay!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it!
Poor elves. Poor Rudolph. Was it the right thing for me to kill a bunch of people just to...save Christmas? :(
I wonder what happened to the other reindeer tho...
Hope you enjoyed =)
Pretty fun game. The end was heartbreaking.
Glad you liked it! Morally the ending is a bit of a grey area =)
While the candy cane isn't really needed to beat the game it definitely helps. Take it from someone who somehow completed the game using only cookies and moving in an S like pattern. Very good game
Glad you liked it !
