Dig the NPC design!

Problematic bits - movement is a bit too floaty and I die too much.

Challenging and fun. Took me a while to notice the controls - up to that point I thought the game was unplayable.
The right part may be too gard to complete. Game misses a few points to be complete.
Still a very good game. Has cute graphics.

Hey, nice start!
This game makes me feel like I need to study Stencyl too, this tool looks somewhat attractive for me for a while already...

Very sensitive movement. Little bit frustrating. Pretty graphics though, nice retro feel.

I see the Stencyl logo, and then a blank black screen.

Hume, try to download desktop version (link bottom of the page)

I can't run it! I just see a black screen (Desktop Ver)

Okay, then update your flash player.

Really liked the firing system, but i think there is something wrong with the gifts.. The first one reachable on the left-under make me restart the whole game.

The game is interesting, but it is kinda full of bugs. For example, if I shoot while facing left, Santa will dash while shooting. Sometimes when I hit a present, santa dies for no reason.

Some sort of progress indicator (x out of y presents collected) would also be nice.

Cheers, and good luck next LD!

Some gifts is really wrong. It's a trap, which warned in the intro.

lidfrid 2012-12-21 15:23

the movement were very sensitive, and there's a bug when i press left arrow key: Santa keep walking and i can't shoot balls!

I like very much the general idea. I think it can be a very tricky hardcore game! :)

Movement is really tough, and I got killed picking up one of the presents?

lemontree 2012-12-21 15:39

Controls a little inconvenient, but it's good start!
Good luck!

Fun for a while

The walkmechanic could be better. When you turn the character it steps forward and this makes it complicated to turn on stages. Next time add Music and Sound, Effects :).

Buggy -- I started getting killed trying to pick up the presents. I was trying to jump but I kept sliding everywhere -- not sure if this was intentional. Also, I found that the bombs missing an explosion animation was pretty lacking. Look like it could have potential, though!

dray 2012-12-21 16:22

Controls are a bit floaty and the objective don't seem very clear to me. I got gifts but some reset the level...

illugion 2012-12-21 16:33

I liked santa's appearance and the level design

hatscat 2012-12-21 16:41

nice, but the character glides too much and moves when we shoot to the left, that's strange

jujule 2012-12-21 18:28

Nice little platformer but controls are too twitchy which makes it sometimes frustrating. But a nice effort in such a short time.

oh dear, the windows version crashed in Assets.as line 145. But the zip only contained a swf so I guess the graphics sound weren't zipped with the game?
I like the graphics, sant looks good.
There are a few bug though, falling off-screen, dying when getting a package, etc but for a first game good (I wish my fist ever game was this good).
