Visual

The game looks really good! The art is clean, it's pleasing to the eye and everything goes together :)

The button to validate the "Settings" looks like a "reset" button. Not really intuitive :(

Audio

The BGM is great, but I feel like the SFX is not completely related to the game. It would have been nice to have different SFX for each weapon, and an SFX for the hurt/die moments.

Tutorial

Short, in game, with visuals. That's a proper tutorial for me :)

Gameplay

  • Having a few seconds to breath when taking damage is great, plus the visual clue is really well done!
  • The surprise weapon works well too, but I feel like the projectiles are way too slow.
  • Santa moves a bit too fast imo, but it's probably linked to the previous point.
  • The little elves around Santa make the game a bit weird once they're invisible, I thought I was hurt by nothing until I realized it was one of them being invisible and touching me.

Fun

The game has great potential, but I found it a bit too frustrating. Maybe because I'm really bad at aiming.

Bugs

I don't know if it's linked, but the game crashed when I (possibly) died.
You can click the "quit game" button while in the settings menu.

Theme

No problem on that point, that's completely in theme :)

Hey, thanks for the constructive feedback, appreciate it a lot! The 1.0 version has some game breaking bugs that mess with the feel and also some stuff that should've been polished more. We just released a 1.1 version that was updated post-jam today that fixed a lot of stuff and I hope also touched on all the problems you had with the game. The player hitbox in 1.0 was bugged sadly, the guns you can pick up have a decently big hitbox and the game counted that as your hitbox when you held it.

Nice art and the voiceacting was great. Enjoyed the multiple different lines the game started with. I did encounter a bug when retrying the game the healthbars stopped working. Overall though well done nice entry :)

Thank you for checking it out and for the feedback! Yeah the UI was bugged in the jam version, we just released a 1.1 version post-jam with the fixes for that and other bugs.
