I LOVED the music :D Couldn't play the Game on my Macbook Air though, the plugin doesn't seem to work on Chrome and in Firefox it didn't look like I could move or anything.. Looks good though!

Reasonably good game. The graphics are well done and the music fits the theme. However, I don't really like the reload mechanic, I understand why, you need to give the player a reason to not shoot, but this is not the right solution for this game I feel. Also, the best (game breaking) strategy is to stay at the fire and let the elves bring the packets to you. You have no reason to pick them up yourself.

Fun game! Not very challenging tho. Could have been more fun if there were more fires for the elves to burn the presents. I also like the music!

Sweet game! Thanks for the comments on my game :)

kalaskrysset 2014-12-08 14:20

Loving the feedback! so many "facepalms" for not thinking of these things. Thank you all for playing :) Lesson learned = let people test whilst making it. I really didnt test the difficulty much :/ Music was kind of last minute so Im glad you liked it :D

Very hard! I constantly forgot to reload! Nice graphics.

akurn 2014-12-08 15:16

Regarding browsers issues, initial load on Safari had no UI, but then worked after reload, so might help others :)
Fun game, I agree with the reload being a bit weird though, I didn't realise at first, thought it broke. Maybe if it had auto reload, or there was a different noise when trying to shoot with no bullets.

Pretty fun game but the christmas presents despawned way to fast so if you play survival there will only be about 1 present all the time (after playing for a while). They also despawn

kalaskrysset 2014-12-08 16:37

I noticed that while playing it today for a while :/ am I allowed to patch that?

rantt 2014-12-08 17:33

The music/graphics in this were excellent! It does get easy if you stand by the fire but all in all great job I really enjoyed this.

todnut 2014-12-08 19:34

I like the top down camera. I was wonder how to do a 3D game on one screen!

paperweight 2014-12-08 19:35

Awesome game but I've have concentrated more on hordes and more elve slaughter!

alsweigart 2014-12-08 19:36

Solid game! The graphics were pretty polished. Aiming was kind of hard, but enough to be challenging and not frustrating. You should make reloading automatically happen once emptying the clip.

sheep-co 2014-12-08 19:43

Great game i played a couple rounds and that means its good if i want to play more the graphics were good for the small screen you had but, the only thing i disliked was the reloading mechanism it would be easier if it reloaded on on its own but it took like 5 seconds

ferraware 2014-12-09 00:43

Really fun! Would love to have some different guns, shotguns are a must-do :P

miziziziz 2014-12-09 01:39

lol great game!
Awesome music!
Wish there were some other modes; this would be cool with some tower defense elements

HelkeGames 2014-12-09 19:04

Loved the music! Nice game ! Congrats for your first LD! Well done ^^

harley77 2014-12-09 19:08

Another game in LD where I get to kill elves! Nice job all around.

digibody 2014-12-09 19:09

Cannot play. Menu never popped up for me, just stayed stuck on intro screen, nice music though

kalaskrysset 2014-12-09 19:21

@digibody sad to hear that :/ try another browser perhaps or download the win version? So far I know it has worked on Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

lokiman 2014-12-09 20:57

Congratz on your first LD! You did really well and I like your game :)

Picking loot should be automatic though :D

murchurl 2014-12-10 09:19

Cool concept, I like the idea! Music was nice as well! Good Job!

ajopart 2014-12-10 12:33

Good job there !!

louisload 2014-12-10 19:18

ahah the music makes a whole different feeling playing this game, it seems like I'm a badass santa, ready to save the day :DD nice entry! congratulations on your work

silii 2014-12-11 13:43

Giiift *.*

threstle 2014-12-11 14:43

nice little top down shooter. ;) I like the idea of elves stealing presents, and santa claus going badass.

albertosm 2014-12-12 00:13

Web version doesn't show the main menu! :(
Please fix that!

kalaskrysset 2014-12-12 07:35

@AlbertoSM could you maybe try another browser? I dont know what to fix really. What I know is that it has worked on IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

ricklesauceur 2014-12-12 08:28

Fun concept, the shoot sound is awful though.

You can win by staying at spawn point and farming the gift brought back from the elf?

bitserum 2014-12-12 09:13

I didn't really like the reloading, but mostly because it was not easily visible and glancing at my current ammo was often distracting. If it were better displayed I wouldn't mind it much.

Other than that a solid entry, love the music.

korayementality 2014-12-12 11:46

Loved it! I expected to shoot bullets like an idiot, but the reloading thing made it's difficulty considerable.
I also loved the graphics and music. :D
+1 for the different game modes too ;)

jaloko 2014-12-12 13:09

Nice game, the audio was great, Also I liked your models they made me laugh.

kipelovets 2014-12-12 15:45

Very good game, extremely fun to play. Models and other graphics are simple, but good enough. I'll play more when I get home)

shide 2014-12-12 17:31

Looks cool, you've managed to do pretty much in 2 days. Simple and addictive game. We've updated the link to our game, so you can check it now

tiago-ling 2014-12-13 01:39

Nice idea, but i missed more smooth controls and more challenging elves - they could attack or make it harder for santa to kill them. Good job!

ryannielson 2014-12-15 15:40

Fun concept, this could be cool with different obstacles, powerups, and different enemy types. I think you should increase the player and enemy size. It's sometimes hard to see the elves and even harder to hit them with your shots. I love the Christmas theme though.

lynx 2014-12-16 02:24

Game has some potential, I found the elf AI was really fast straight off the bat though, but not a game killer. I did phase through a wall once, but that might just be a rare bug

mekuri 2014-12-17 17:16

The reload thing was a bit frustrating- How about adding ammo you can pick up instead? - Aside from that a fun game, with a nice graphics style.
