I made a video of your game. It's at the beginning of this video.
Thanks for taking the time to showcase it!! It's always fun to see someone play a game you make
Really fun story/introduction. I've never seen anything like this for a jam before. great job!
I killed Santa so many times :,) Really fun idea! As Santa is so slow, it was hard to adapt to incoming canes and I often needed to restart to know where to go.
I like the idea and the story is also funny. :D
The only thing that bothered me is that you have to replay the Levels because you need to fly so perfectly that if you didnt see where to go before you wouldnt be able to make it. maybe flying slower or having more space underneath you to spot the canes earlier would help.
But all in all this is a great Jam game, perfect scope and the coder art is very charming haha c:
I definitly agree it goes a bit too fast, but I'm glad you enjoyed my programmer art lol
I love how Santa has the Peter Griffin death pose whenever you fail. XD
Gameplay is STRAIGHT heat. You did a wonderful job indicating to the player how to perform well without being blatant about it, which is definitely a sign of a game dev extraordinaire. The dialogue and cutscenes at the beginning always give bonus points in my opinion because you do an excellent job helping me care about the game with the context. Great submission!!!
Thanks for the really kind words! Glad to know you enjoyed my submission
I really liked this! The intro cutscene was well done and explained quite well why Santa needs to bust through a ceiling.
Also, I like the level design with the helpful placement of candy canes to give some hints as to where to move to! Nice touch!
