Can't play windows games. :-(
Rex: If you have Python installed and install Cocos2d, it should work from the source on Mac or Linux. I just don't know much about packaging binaries on those platforms. You can download Cocos2d from this location:
http://cocos2d.org/download.html
was pretty fun :) just got a bit boring after a while :) well done :D
The lack of music/sound effects is probably the biggest part you could have improved on. That and maybe the hit boxes (or maybe you just aren't supposed to hit the reindeer directly.) Other than that the graphical presentation was very well done, and you had a nice explanation screen at the begging.
Interesting idea, sometimes I would lose while Santa was still up high or killed.
Would love to play this, looks really fun. However, I cannot play windows games. Good luck!
Liked the snow resource mechanic, and the reindeers falling.
Nice use of the theme. :) You should upload a post-compo version including sound, imo. A nicely made-up christmas song would greatly improve the game. :)
Original modern take on space invaders. It could use some sound, that would make it more engaging.
It can be a hectic game, but sometimes if you get it right, you can shoot all the reindeer in one go!
I didn't understand the falling presents mechanics, what to do and how they end the game. Aside from that it's pretty good.
Liked the game :) Small and nice. It might be missing some bonuses or upgrades, but other than that - had fun playing. Thanks!
Nice concept! I love cute villains. I would loved more challenge and maybe some sound.
very nice concept!
Added Mac OS X version. I have never attempted to package a Python project as a Mac binary before, so interested if it works for anyone.
Not the greatest shoot-m-up ever but the theme is right. Nice idea for sort of resource available based on position. Santa should have just pelted that brat with a ton of gifts to take her out.
Good idea that the falling reindeer can actually kill you. Also, I didn't notice at first, but the sowball-resource is a nice mechanic too. Althoug, some visual feedback on the ground would be nice.
This really seems like the soundtrack should be Kevin Bloody Wilson's "Hey Santa Claus". Fun :D
Cute game but needs sounds. Even generated sound effects from a tool like sfxr would have helped a lot. The game play sort of reminded me of space invaders when you are down to a few aliens.
The window is too big for my screen: 1280x800. Can't see the score as it is behind the task bar. There is no way to make it fullscreen, resize the window or drag it in a place so I can see the score. The presents delivered seem to randomly trigger a santa-has-won screen. Nice idea though.
Worked fine on my Mac :)
Good game!
I'm quite scared about the similarity between my game and yours..
Dying via falling reindeer was pretty hilarious to me :P.
Joozey: The window size should be 1024x768 (or slightly larger for the window frame), so it should have fit. You should also be able to press Ctrl-F to toggle full screen. If the presents collide with Susie at the bottom than Santa has won. You should be avoiding Presents and Reindeer. If the gifts reach 0 then Santa wins too.
It's a cute space invaders type of game with the twist of limited ammo. It was pretty fun for a few repetitions =p
Arcade Santapede!
The idea of Santa moving backwards is funny.
I want to see reindeers moonwalking.
Nice take on being the villain and a well executed game. I would occasionally get stuck and then get smacked by a present but other than that it was solid. Well done and good luck!
Aesthetics and gameplay are simple and fine, music and sound would have improved the experience. I love the plot though, and the fact that the reindeers can fly backwards. Awesome job.
Fun little game.
I didn't really understand the win/lose conditions. It said that I lost (children got their presents) whenever I shot all the reindeer...
Love the dying reindeers.
