Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't get very far.
It took a while to realize I was supposed to hide from the kid. I managed to do that, and I was about to get back to my sled after dropping off the present, and the kid turned around and walked up to me and now the game won't go forward (we're just standing there, it didn't kill me.)
Heads up - if you don't know the audio, you should probably credit the author.
Beautiful graphics, nice mechanics (once you understand how to play), probably you should give the player a feedback on what to do after getting a gift (telling him to hide). My only concern is about the soundtrack, you should give credit to the authors. Great idea!
Creep chiptune cover! You rock!!! Amazing style! Duval!!!
<3 creep - That was fun.
Interesting concept.
If you didn't make the audio, you'll need to opt out of being rated on it :)
I loved the music, it was a lot of fun to play. Good game overall!
Great idea. High difficulty, but maybe I'm not a very good Santa
Cool one, the pixel graphics are very harmonic.
It's hard to tell how large the kid's field of view is.
Nice graphics, some performance issues. Love Radiohead!
Nice game! :D
Great idea!!! Turned to be really fun :D
very fun a few bugs in first level
Fantastic idea, so is the execution. GJ. Got almost heart attack when I was at the first level's end and the kid saw me but I still made it to the next level.
I thought this was pretty fun. It was very difficult to be caught and have to start all over just due to the speed of the game being relatively slow. Sometimes its really hard to wait for the kids to turn around at the right moment. I wasn't able to beat it all, I got to level 4. If it's fairly short, I would consider putting like a 1/4 2/4 counter at the bottom right of the screen just to give other player an idea of how much is left. Or , really alternatively, I would fix the pacing. It's pretty challenging to move at the right moment, which is nice that the challenge is there, but having to start the entire level over when you lose feels frustrating. At least, it does to me. Anyways, I like the idea. I would also suggest crediting the musical author, or if you did the chip tune yourself, at least credit that it is based on the author's tune. (or maybe that's in the credits, I haven't beaten it)
Great ideia, nice music, but i think the first stage the tree should hide the santa too, is really hard to get back.
Pichudo! I really like the Game Mechanics and the graphics!
jajaj me gusta! muy creativo el juego y bien para estas épocas ^^ el unico error que encontre fue al perder que podes escaparte sin limites jajaj
I love the idea, the graphics are cool and the music is awesome too. Sadly music is not yours but the rest is really cool :D Best Santa simulator ever :D
The graphics are nicely done. The pacing is a bit slow though, it takes forever to complete one level, and then you get spotted by kid that just turned around and you have to do the whole level again...
And is that green thing supposed to walk backwards?
Really cool concept. I was a little confused in the beginning and not very sure what I should do, but it was pretty fun afterwards. It was hard and I can't go very far in the game
This is my absolutely favorite song!!! And it sounds amazing in retro style too :D Anyway I love the idea of this game and how the screen turns gray when the santa is revealed :) Good job!
I love the graphics. They are really cute. I also dig the general feel of the game interesting concept/execution as well!
Ah cute. Love the art + music.
Fun but difficult. Had a bit of trouble getting past some of the levels. Loved the dialogue, though.
It's nice to see a light hearted stealth game in this LD. The controls felt a little slippery though and it would've been nice if you moved a bit faster. Love the music though!

Great Graphics!
Couldn't Beat first Stage thought...
The graphics were really well done. I really like the idea of this, but the controls seemed a bit sticky and I found it a little frustrating to try to hide from the kids with few places to duck and cover.
I was also a little disappointed that I couldn't drop off the ledges after I placed the gifts to make a quick getaway. It seemed to be the logical thing to do, and I made a frowny face when I couldn't. :(
I really like the idea of a Santa/Christmas-themed stealth game though. You really could do a lot with that! :)
The game brings Christmas spirit. Thanks)
Great game, really enjoyable. I just didnt see where the theme is coming in
really cool idea - i delivered 1 present - liked the chiptunes music from radiohead too - nice touch - santa is such a creep!
Great game, but very difficult. Indicators to show where children can see would turn this into a truly great game.
