This game makes me feel very evil indeed!

Wow! That's fantastic... the flying cut-scene is genius! I'd never heard of Père Fouettard before - had to go off to wikipedia. He seems like the more unsuspecting (and therefore more villainous) version of Krampus!

Very nice! Shame there was no sound.

Great game! I really like the idea very much. The cut scene and the entering of the house is brilliant.

What an awesome game.
Overall awesome game, very innovative, fun approach on the theme. The graphics were awesome, it looked very polished and fun and fun. Humorous and moody... perfect game.
Sadly no sound so you missed the max score here.

Though it made me feel pretty bad for hitting all those cute children that tried to give me the present. Made me feel weird and sad. So yeah, awesome awesome little game. Great job.

Made me laugh =D it's a good idea, shame there were not more different levels

Bloody great art, even if I did feel a bit weird breaking into homes and whipping the residents. Shame all the houses are the same and you can only really play for 3 levels (after that you get like 1 second), as I was enjoying it.

Haha, I love it.

I loved ducking to whip the children.

haha... the simple game mechanics itself could be expanded upon, and use some enhancements, but brilliant graphic style! i enjoyed it.

Awesome graphics! I think I may have been really unlucky, because twice I had a present blocking me from the residents (which wouldn't disappear by whipping it), and one time the house had 5-6 little kids that bum-rushed me and kept me locked door against the outside wall. Whipping didn't work.

I just realized how ridiculous that sounded.

Hilarious premise! :D I love how he flies to the next house at the end of a level! Gameplay is simple but it works! Great art, too! Awesome job!

Is he the evil brother of Santa Claus? I love the cut scene between levels! :) It's a shame there's no sound.

gornova 2012-12-23 10:05

very evil! need sound and transition screen is epic :D

csanyk 2012-12-23 21:39

Took me a while to figure out that in order to hit anything with the whip that I had to duck. It's basic, but the theme is fun. A little more fear/reaction out of the children would really sell it. Needs sound!

ilo 2012-12-29 00:32

Fantastic visual style. Some sound and elaborated mechanics (like good children who you must avoid whipping?) and this would be very fun. :)

cakencode 2012-12-29 09:59

Ahahaha, I had a ton of fun playing this little gem xD

Great concept, solid execution, and a fantastic use of the theme. As TheSheep said, if only there were sound! It is really the only criticism I have.

Hope you keep working on this post-compo! :D
