Really nice idea, graphics and realisation.

I can't play the game for long as Safari sooner or later reloads the (game) page due to high memory consumption... :-/

Maybe you could improve memory usage and/or offer a downloadable binary version exported from Godot? ;)

I wasn't able to play the game as Safari is telling me that the website needs to be reloaded due to high memory consumption... :-/

However, studying your game's source code on GitHub gave me some ideas on how to improve my coding for future games. Thanks for sharing! :)

Really nice! This would also make for perfect background music during coding sessions in my day job. Did you upload these to Spotify by any chance? :)

Just let us know when and where we can test. You have at least two Mac users... ;)

I'm currently not testing my Windows binaries either, as I don't have a working Windows (virtual) machine anymore. The first Windows user will be automatically a sort of "beta tester"... ;p

We're all doing this as a hobby and at no payment at the end of the day... ;)

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I used your pixel font in my 2nd game while learning GameDev! 😁👋 

 Many thanks for sharing! 👍😎

Hey there, I have good and bad news for you... 😲

The bad news is that Christmas is over! 😢

But the good news is, as I didn't manage to finish my 2nd game in Godot earlier 😫,
you can refire that special Christmas feeling for y couple of minutes by playing Santa Catch! 🎅🎄🎁😂

Story

It’s the day before Christmas and there’s a problem at Santa’s factory: The autonomous Christmas present wrapping machine is malfunctioning. And now, there are Christmas presents falling from the sky all around Santa’s North Pole village! While there is always a backup storage of Christmas presents, they aren't enough to ensure that everyone gets one. So Santa has to somehow save Christmas by catching enough of the Christmas presents falling from the sky…

Have a good start into 2024 and remember, Christmas is just 11 months away... 🤣👋

Thanks for getting back to me! 😁

That sounds good and logical. As I just started out learning GameDev with Godot 4 in November 2023, I can totally relate. I’m in the process of finishing my 2nd game and there’s a big list in my backlog which I have to skip until a v2. It’s a Christmas-related game and I already missed the holidays deadline… 😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

All the best for your GameDev journey! 👍🏻👋🏻😎🤠

Wow, I clicked on play and then read the text while the music was playing. The images you describe in your text immediately popped into to my mind. Great! :)

Would love to see this game idea, including your music, come to life one day! :)

PS: There seems to be a small bug that causes the gold to get a lot of figures after the decimal point after buying the middle hat on page 2 (forgot the name). I love the shop idea! :) 

Really nice idea and cute graphics. The snowman could move a tick faster though.
In addition, I'm lacking some sort of game end. Maybe adding a highscore list (top 10) would help to get a sense of completion at the end... ;-)


What game engine / tools did you use?

Looks interesting, but as I'm running on a Mac I can't play your game. 

As you're using Godot Engine: Did you limit your game export to Windows only for a particular reason? Why not also export for Mac & Linux? Why not also export for Web and let users play it via web browser here on itch.io? That would increase your game's target audience... ;)

We've all been there and you made a game out of it! Brilliant! :)

I really enjoyed playing this!

Wow, that really means a lot to me to get such great feedback from you! 🤩😲 Very much appreciated! 😁👍🏻🥳

Nice idea and implementation! :)

Also many thanks for sharing the source code and timelapse.
As I'm new to Godot, I'm learning a lot by looking at your very clean code!

Well done! :)

Really nice job! The voice overs and music are of great quality as well! :)

Hi there,
I just finished my first game in Godot Engine 4, a duck hunt fan game. :)
As I'm new to game dev and Godot, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'd love to hear how you enjoyed it playing! :)

Nice, I love the style & story! Great job! :)

Wow, that's really great! :)

Some other ideas for animations: eat, pee, poo, catch (like a frisbee flying in the air)

I love these! Perfect and exactly what I was looking for to use e.g. as an avatar pic! :)

Could you maybe add a Christmas-related version of the fox some time? ;)

Nice! I really like these! :)

Great that you added so many animation types for the cats, thanks! Would love to see some of these animation types also for your dogs... ;)

Just bought both packs (dogs & cats)! :)

Nice, I love these! Exactly what I was looking for! :)

Especially, because all other dog animations I found are of lower quality/resolution...

Could you maybe please add jump & attack animations for the dogs some time in the future as you did for the cats? ;)

Cheers! :)
