Really great graphics, fun game! I included it in my Yogscast Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you for playing it, it's great seeing someone else play the game!
Awesome entry, it kinda reminded me of the old 2D GTA games. The art style really stood out and the music was an excellent choice, it really fit well with all the chaos going on :D
Thank you!
My immediate thought was how good the controls felt. Then came the car chaos, funny stuff! I didn't even know what side of the road I was supposed to be driving on and it didn't matter at all! Graphically, it's very nice too. I'm impressed with this submission!
Oh, and in response to your description asking for people's scores, I managed 15100. I wasn't very good.
No worries, neither was I and I was the guy who made it! But I'm glad you were impressed, thank you for the kind words!
Loads of chaotic fun and explosions. Something about the sound effects was very raw and satisfying.
Also, you should have called it GTSleigh.
Ah, that's the perfect name! So sad I didn't come up with that one.
I laughed pretty hard the first time a torrent of cars came rushing at me from off-screen! This is a fun idea, and it feels very polished. It didn't feel like the horn was always very effective, but otherwise I had a good time with it!
Im definely not a goot driver at thig game xD The music and the sounds are pretty nice to hear, and gooj job at the art! Really pleasant colors. Larger streets or a bit less crazy drivers would make a huge difference on the gameplay
This was fun! Great artwork and gameplay, though I'm a terrible driver
This was great! 58320 was my final score :) Does the horn actual do anything? Or just for fun? I was honking it either way haha. This one is at the top of my list for this year's jam games so far. Great job.
Impressive score, well done! And the horn's just for fun - it's not like you're paying much attention to the AI cars' horns either, though!
What an amazing game!
Wonderful artwork, excellent theme usage, super fun mechanics, and polished gameplay.
Simply Amazing!
Really fun! But I don't think I was the worst driver on the road.
Difficulty needs adjusted. I was never able to deliver more than like 2 presents without there being some massive pileup. Pretty game tho.
Check out my review of your game at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
Definitely, I spent a lot of time making cool-looking pileups and crashes before realising the player had to drive through them, and then I ran out of time! I definitely would make it a bit easier, yeah. I did like that grand theft santa idea you mentioned on stream, it would add some good depth to the game. Thank you for the review!
This game is really challenging, but also really fun! The game is fast paced, and really fun to play. I'm not exactly sure what the honk does, but I still had fun spamming it! It can get a little too crowded in some parts, but that's just the fun of the game! Overall, great game!
Aha, the horn doesn't actually do anything - it's just when I was playtesting I felt a strong urge to honk back at the AI. I guess its purpose is to release stress! And thank you for the kind words!
I love this game - so much fun to play, reminds me of crazy taxi!
How does it related to the opposite theme?
Thanks! And the game is the opposite of what Santa usually does - he'd normally deliver presents at night when there wasn't a giant traffic jam going on (or when he couldn't be seen by everyone!). I probably could've conveyed it a bit better, since it is a bit tenuous, but I hope that explains it a bit!
ahhhh it wasn't obvious straight away but still a great game, good job!
Art is brilliant, AI is hilarious, although perhaps too prone to completely blocking up roads. I like the floaty feel of the controls. Some random generation would be great but the chaos was very enjoyable
Yeah, I would've loved to add some random generation - definitely would've saved me some work with making the city! - and the AI can clog up roads since they never despawn except when exploding, but I'm glad you enjoyed the chaos of it all!
Love the graphics, and sounds! Gameplay was really fun, going around a corner into a massive traffic jam, or a speeding car on fire kept things interesting! Really like this one!
Thanks, it's good to hear you liked the chaos as much as I did!
Very well polished and I love how santa's sleigh has a horn. Lots of small details to appreciate. Well done!
The horn's actually just Rudolf making noises in the back, but don't tell anyone I said that :P And I'm glad you liked the polish!
This game makes me realize once again why I do not drive. Haha!! Brilliant fun and mayhem! Graphically super clean, always love a good pixel style game.
All in all, super fun, definitely going to play more!
Hah, it's a pretty accurate representation of the roads in my city - and I'm glad you liked it!
