The elf is cute, although flat (which I like too, and there's a nice flipping animation).
Didn't have another person to enjoy the game with unfortunately, but I think it's an amazing concept. Cool to see the pre-attack animations as they mitigate spam-clicking and motivate the S.A.N.T.A player to try and predict the elf's moves. I think a way to set up obstacles (temporary walls for example) or traps would improve the gameplay further.
Also, perhaps there could be a way to defeat S.A.N.T.A? Maybe by making his attacks backfire if the elf does something (placing the present in the way?).
The S.A.N.T.A is a bit too low-poly for my taste, and the shading is kinda dark on him. I liked the pixel art though, and it's interesting to see 3D models and flat pixel art combined in one game.
Nicely done!
Good theme use which worked for both players. Really liking the boss character in the background. Dodging fists was hectic, though a bit easy if it spawned on the other side of the screen. Is there a way of choosing which side the fist spanws from? Letting them spawn from the top or bottom would be neat. Definitely could see this having more stages and attacks.
Sadly no you cannot choose which direction they come from. However there is a top down attack which is like a laser beam
This was just more a test working within a group to see our strengths and weaknesses
The idea however one day I'll consider coming back to, maybe not in Christmas form but your ideas of more attacks is a good idea, I was even thinking of like a phase 2/3 where the stage changes as you go along but we didn't have time
I really enjoyed the game jam though! It pushed me to get something done over the holidays which is great
I also appreciate getting feedback on my work too so thank you!
I didn't have a second person to play the game with, but the concept is really cool and I could definitely see this being fleshed out some more. Maybe add multiple levels and different types of attacks for S.A.N.T.A?
Great entry!
Thank you for the feedback! and we were thinking of adding a phase 2/3 where the level changes but sadly we didn't have time.
We also where mainly doing teamwork test for future projects. However I will consider coming back to the project in the future taking in account to yall lovely feedback, none the less I had fun doing this game jam!
