Beautiful artwork, the whole thing is really slick for jam game. Took me a minute or so to figure out how to actually stop the nukes, but it's a cool mechanic. :)

Great concept and awesome graphics. Seemed like there was more than one occasion where the game was unwinnable due to the auto-piloting of the enemy and santa, but, awesome none the less.

160mb for a Jam game? That's... daunting :O

Best-looking entry I've seen so far! Very innovative gameplay as well, even though it can feel quite random sometimes. Congratulations!

160 Mo ? can't imagine the size fo all those textures :) Anyways they were totally right used on this game, this intro end outro are gorgeous. Professional.
The gameplay is not that interesting. No use in reducing range of the radar ( could have increase ship spawn rate ? ) and sometime you get the feeling that nothing you could have done would have save santa.

Maybe the gameplay could have been improved with :
- hold mouse button to improve range
- No sensor max range
- instead range increase really slowly when it gets big
- After detection the sensor size come back to normal
- interceptor are destroyed on use
- new interceptor spawn regularly only if sensor are at normal size.


Impressive team work, and funny description.

Huh, I thought I had rated this already. Anyway:

The game's atmosphere is pretty great, and the sound effects fit quite well. Unfortunately, the game little sense and I didn't quite understand it. Good job on the other stuff, though!

Wow, visuals are nice and stylish, well done! I also wasn't sure which way did I have to play - saving Santa is nice, but actually letting rockets hit him was more challenging :D
