Really awesome game. At wave 9 and only lost 1 house so far. Not sure why you eliminated so many categories. Fun and Mood would surely have scored well.

hippolyta 2014-12-09 04:32

Ah, that was stupid - I didn't unterstood the new opt-out-function... :-(
But thank you and I changed it.
If you like, you could now modify your rating ;-)

I'm happy that you like our game!


Cheers

Fantastic game :)

lintfordpickle 2014-12-09 12:29

Really enjoyed it. There were however a few issues with the collisions not registering; and then other times it would hit even when it looked like I missed.

The graphics are very nice!

xlash86 2014-12-09 12:32

Really awesome looking graphics and Sounds/Music. Sometimes the aiming feels a bit sluggish, but that's okay considering it was made in 72 hours! :)

aslakhol 2014-12-09 12:33

Pretty fun game, though the hit detection seems a bit off sometimes, that coupled with the fact that the santas don't always walk in obvious paths got a bit annoying some times. I got to 5000 score before 4 santas spawned an ran all over the map at hyper speed and one of them took less than one second to get to the last house.

diventurer 2014-12-09 12:33

Why no graphics vote? I would do 5/5 at least!
Nice game, although it lagged a bit.

ranmara 2014-12-09 12:39

Really lovely style (the day/night transition is so pretty!) and with a little more time to tweak difficulty and pacing it could be very compelling.

hippolyta 2014-12-09 12:46

We added graphics and audio also for rating ;-)

We modified the assets to fit the winter style and made the SFX for this jam...

gnutek 2014-12-09 13:06

Neat. Great gfx and audio! The light in the night look awesome and beautiful.

vegard1992 2014-12-09 13:09

I like it, just wish the gameplay was more satisfying!

sakergames 2014-12-09 13:12

You've done some amazing graphics there. :) It would be good to have a cannon firing like minigun.. :P

ali312 2014-12-09 13:18

Cool graphic, but gameplay is a little monotonous.

jupitron 2014-12-09 17:31

Awesome game, nice twist! Loved how balance shooting distance is.

pjimmy 2014-12-10 01:11

nice, good looking game

magicolo 2014-12-10 02:25

-Smooth graphics :)
-The game should really be more fast paced :(
-Gets boring pretty quickly :(
-Music and SFX :)

interface 2014-12-10 02:34

Thanks for updating, changed my ratings :-)

poupi 2014-12-10 04:08

Nice work ^^

xanjos 2014-12-11 00:45

Pretty fun game. Matched the theme quite well.

geckoo1337 2014-12-11 06:09

Maybe this game is a too repetitive, but good enough. I like it. Well done ++

kualitygames 2014-12-11 20:41

Definitely one of the nicest looking games out there. Good job.

asaratha 2014-12-11 20:57

The Santas are just hard to see, and theres no notification a wave has begun. Shooting is very difficult as well.

joekinley 2014-12-11 21:20

Web version doesn't seem to work for me, so I have to download the 85MB LINUX VERSION (85MB? for real?).
Still downloading.

...

Still downloading

...

Fell asleep.... still downloading.

15 minutes left... my ISP really sucks...

12 Minutes left... this is taking foreeeeeeever

Such dedication, much slow, dat download, such big wow

Expectations are dying here. This better be good.

13 Minutes left? How is that even possible?

6 Minutes. I feel my hair growing. Teh anticipation

Still 6 minutes. I feel like someone is mocking me here. Wait... 9 minutes? Hey not fair, I wait patiently here.
Almost, almost, aaaand 50MB downloaded. Still waiting.

Could have voted 2 other games already, but I am still downloading. You better deliver Crosstales.

I swear if this doesn't work I'm gonna be soooo mad.

But seriuosly. 85MB? What did you put in there? How can that be so ridiculously big for a game you barely made in 72 hours.

Still loading. 3 minutes left, almost done... sooo cloooose

12 MB left, 2 minutes to go. I can see the light

Read about twist in comments... wanna know twist. If there's no twist *raises fist*... Oh boy 30 seconds left... almost there, almost there, please computer don't bail on me now. Yaaay here it is, let's open and check.

Sneaky little bastards. What the heck did I just play?
The hitboxes were really weird. I hit them often, but it didn't register, and other times i clearly missed, but it GOT registered.
Didn't get a twist though :( am disappoint. Maybe I'm just too bad? I blame the hitboxes :D . Also those sneky little basterds I tell you. They hide so good and then they move in.

Fun little game though. Nice audio, cool mood, funny sneaky little bastards. Liked it. Worth the wait

Gorgeous little game, great art and animation. Scored 1900, wave 9.

HelkeGames 2014-12-12 21:49

I like the concept! Really fun gameplay... love graphics!

yanisvieilly 2014-12-12 21:50

Awesome graphics, awesome audio. You did a great job!

metalchouchen 2014-12-12 22:40

I think santa are too small :) But that probably a gameplay choice. Nice game for a jam by the way!

phocker 2014-12-13 04:25

fun game - made it to wave 11 - awesome job

zkenshin 2014-12-14 03:44

3500 points, wave 12, 352.2 time.

Really nice audio, and entertaining entry. Well done. :)

dream-of-sleeping 2014-12-14 09:26

I couldn't get it to work. It loads than just freezes up the web page.
I had to copy and paste this comment in. I could here the music though
and that was 5 out of 5 easy. It sounded like it had an edward scissor hands type of vibe.

tonypai 2014-12-17 01:28

One snowball a take keeps the santa away. :D

jacksgamessucks 2014-12-17 21:59

awesome! i love it

dunin 2014-12-18 13:49

2800...
well done, need more features (differents santas, powerup...)

tyruspeace 2014-12-20 20:10

6100, Wave 15, 454.6 seconds
This game had me shouting "NOOOO!" when a house would triumphantly sprout Christmas decorations post-Santa. Just that is hilarious, but the charming art, premise, and gameplay really make this a standout entry for me.

Great work!

schnerble 2014-12-20 20:13

Graphics and music are brilliant - some of the best I've seen in LD! Fun game to play too - nice work. Two little things though: sometimes it's hard to see the santas in the dark... and also I'm not sure why there's more than one day/night cycle! ;) (it's cool - but I'm not sure it makes sense with Christmas night! ;) )

instant-noodles 2014-12-21 20:07

funny little game. Curious about technick behind. What is diférence between normal and webgl version ?

puppetmaster 2014-12-22 00:23

Fantastic little game! Lovely music and animation.

Well made!

jukimv1986 2014-12-22 19:02

Finally a game where one can kick Santa's ass. Elve out of five!

nanoidgames 2014-12-24 11:19

Looks pretty cool. Happy xmas! :)

pixelspirit 2014-12-24 11:20

really nice - very pretty, nice music, fun to play, and what I think is a funny concept n_n Merry Christmas!

kaa 2014-12-24 11:38

Very beautiful and cute!

twelveplusplus 2014-12-25 21:54

hilarious!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 17:36

Beautiful graphics, great concept, nice take on tower games! I Included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/SGfwL84KAH0

zed0 2014-12-29 01:07

Neat game, the day/night cycle and weather effects are great polish.
My only real complaint is that most of the time I lost houses because I didn't spot the santas, rather than it actually being difficult.
