Nice game, Superb.
Thanks!
Very fun! Definitely one of my favorite of the games I've played so far! Made me laugh, and running into the waves not ending bugs wasn't even that bad since I could go back to the menu and just play again
I think it would be better if the gifts on the tables etc weren't physical, and if also the kids stopped being physical once they get hit. I also had some candy cane upgrades spawn below the map edge that I could get.
I actually really liked the kids occasionally getting stuck and having to go find them. I thought it was pretty funny finding them that way lol
Thank you so much! and thanks for the suggestions!
Simple, but fully playable. (You can set off the flag "Rotate object" in "Path find" behaviour in the Construct3 if you want to set off rotation of walking kids ;))
Thank you! And I'm aware, I had some trouble getting pathfinding to work, and we were running out of time, so they just have the bullet behaviour, and line of sight, so they rotate towards the player, and are always moving towards you. When I get a chance, I'll try to switch it to pathfinding again and see what the problem was. Thanks for trying to help though!
Cute little top down shooter. One thing is the pixel size was a little inconsistent so some sprites stood out a bit
Thanks for the feedback!
i made the art
Nice work :D
thanks :D if you want art check out my itch page
Fun art style, can be a little tricky so a tutorial would have been nice
Yeah, if we had more time of course we'd have done a little tutorial and some more balancing of the difficulty, but that's game jams. Thank you!
I've added a download with a darker red background. Please let me know if it's better! Thank you!
Graphics are okay. Did the job but not mindblowing. Where this game really excels though is feedback when you shoot the enemies. It genuinely feels really satisfying to kill enemies in a way I haven't seen in many other jam games. Good work!
Thank you!
Simple concept but really well made. The controls felt natural, and I really like the audio and pixel art :)
Thanks!!!
thank you from me too :D i made the pixel art
This was really fun, the music makes it super hectic. Well done!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
The music and art really made the game. The power ups were good fun.
10/10 would hurl presents at people again
Thank you!!!
Very similar games indeed! I love the screen shake on hit and the sound effects are spot on!
Thanks!
Nice game ! It's to fun to play with snowballs :DD
The background is a way too red I think... but well done ! o/
Haha yeah, many others have an issue with the red too, idk if I can update the browser version, so I might add a download with a darker red carpet. Thanks!
i am very sorry for the red back ground
Heya ! Here's my complete review (that I used to rate the game)
Visual
The game doesn't look necessarily bad, but as said before, the red is too red, it hurts my eyes :(
And the different assets don't really match in style, imo. Also, try to always keep in mind that there are some people out there who are colorblind, and it's often a good idea to try and have maximum contrast to reduce the impact on them :)
Audio
The game misses a BGM, but the SFX used in the game fits it perfectly :)
Tutorials
Unfortunately none :(
Gameplay
Fun
The game is moderately fun because of the pace. I like the beginning but not the end of the waves.
Bugs
I don't know if that's actually a bug, but I couldn't finish the second wave even if no one was alive.
Theme
In the theme, it's fine by me :)
Thanks for all the feedback! There should be BGM btw, not sure why you couldn't hear it. I've learned to think about colours a lot more for next time! As for the wave not ending that seems to be a common issue. Most of the time they can be found stuck behind a table, but occasionally they seem to all be gone. I've finished the game multiple times since uploading and I can usually make it to the boss in wave 5, so it sucks so many people have had this issue. All I can suggest is restart, and chances are it should work all the way through. Thank you!
Thanks for your reply! I retried and got stuck and wave 1, then went to main menu and retried and could get to wave 5 without any issue!
The game is way funnier when you can complete it! :)
For the BGM though, it doesn't seem to play for me :(
Nevermind, I figured out the problem. I'm using Itch.io launcher, and "installed" the HTML5 version, which doesn't seem to work correctly. Opened it in a proper browser without the use of the launcher and it works correctly :)
Glad it worked out! Thanks for playing! I really don't know what's causing it but yeah, it usually works fine when you go back to the menu, and start again. Not sure if it just coincidentally works that time, or if it fixes something.
i am sorry too put a lot of red but thanks for the feed back
Also agree with the comments below about the harshness of the red but its a good game. Would also consider adding an alternate button for shooting as playing on a laptop with a trackpad it is quite hard to fire and aim on the touch-pad
Thanks for the feedback!
i am sorry for the red back ground and thanks for feed back
Nice job! Art, music and SFX were great! Controls were really smooth. Like others said the red ground was a bit much, but other than that really great job!!
Thank you!!!

Great job! the art and the sfx are amazing and the gameplay is smooth. The only thing I would say is to beware the red ground because it's intensity was a bit overwhelming.
Yeah others are having a similar issue, I apologise. Thanks though!
thanks :D for playing from me too
This is a nice, fun, game, I would just say I couldn't play for a long time because the red is really harsh to look at. But overall good job.
Yeah that was an oversight sorry, will think more about the colours next time. Thanks!
i made the art i am sorry i had very less time to make it so it was plain art
It's fine, I know how hard it is to get so much done in 48 hours. You know now and it is something to think about for next time.
D E A D those kids are brutal. Nice game, the controls are smooth. I wish it was easier to tell what the powerups do, I know I got faster one time but I'm not sure what else I got. Maybe a collectible to restore health would be nice too! Well done :)
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
Personally for me the red is a bit much, but apart from that the controls are smooth, music is great and the pixel art, retro feel is great too, Really fun game.
That's fair, haha. Thank you!
