What an awesome game! I enjoyed it a lot, even though I couldn't beat Santa after many attempts. At least I got him past half HP ^^' Love the "Collect snow on ground" mechanic because I can always take a hit unless I go on the offensive! Pixel art, SFX/Music and overall game feel are top notch!
Thank you so much for playing and enjoying the game! Making it to half HP is already impressive, Santa's attacks get a power boost at that point—so reaching that stage is a great accomplishment. Happy Holidays!
I love the art, music, and the overall concept! The game as a whole is just really amazing, but its wayy too difficult. Santa just has so much health (or snowballs do too little damage) that it feels like forever to beat him. Also I wish there were different control options like up arrow to jump. This is still really impressive, so good job 👍
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. Yes, it's very difficult at first, but after a few tries you'll get the hang of it and you should be able to beat him in no time. I've been thinking about adding key rebindings to make the controls more customizable.
It's a simple concept, but well done. I like that your health and ammo are connected. It fits the theme and it's a nice gimmick. The artwork is really good. The panning and zooming in the cutscenes makes them look weird and trippy, but I like it
Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, intentionally made it a bit challenging, but yes, maybe it could be too much.
I'd like to better understand how you found it challenging to hit Santa with the snowballs. Did you try hopping on the rooftops to hit Santa? I'm not sure, maybe this mechanic isn't clear to everyone.
Ah yes I just saw the gif on the game page and suddenly understood that we could climb onto the roofs from the panel or the trash can! It’s actually simpler that way!
Holy cow the art in this game is great! The little intro cinematic is wonderful! And the boss is punishingly difficult! He has a pretty impressive move set for a game jam game and I enjoyed playing!
I did have a tough time getting him much past 1/2 health but I’m probably just bad :D
Thanks a ton for the kind words! About that punishingly difficult boss... well, he's Santa, it's no walk in the park to beat him ! 😁 It's intentionally challenging, but hey, you made it past half his health? That's no small feat! Once you've reached that point Santa ramps up the challenge with even stronger attacks.
Thanks a bunch for playing and happy holidays to you too!

Thank you so much, glad you like the health/ammo mechanic!
The pixel art is so beautiful! And all the feedback, transitions and little animations work perfectly! Great job and Happy Holidays !
The game might be a little too hard? I'm having a little trouble touching Santa with the snowballs
