Santa Clause: Troll Hunter

I mean, I guess it's good that you opted out of graphics since it's just a random mishmash of stuff. In the end I had negative presents and a whole bunch of bugging out trolls glitching into eachother, the houses, the walls, ect. The platforming didn't feel particularly good... though I did have some fun with the snowball mechanics just because there's no limiter on how often you can do it so you can just mash the fire button to create entire walls of snowballs.

It did look like you run out of time on this game. The platforming looked a bit clunky. I'd be interested in playing the finished version :smile:

Thanks for the feedback! I wish I had made more time to iron out the buggy AI and clunky controls. It's a bit of a mess but I had fun and a good learning experience. My first jam! :)

Sorry mate but this ended up quite unfun to play. The movement is very clunky and irritating and the trolls are just all bugged and often unhittable. The theme is also not quite new or interesting.

Don't let this negative review demotivate you, just keep making games and they will get better with every attempt! I suggest you start by making the movement and basic player control "feel good" because it can ruin a otherwise good game.

Good luck in the future!

Hello, I find that Santa Claus is too slow this affects the accuracy of the gameplay. But for a first jam it's really nice to go all the way :)

@pfs @le-dav Thanks for the honest reviews and I agree with you 100%. I almost didn't submit because of these issues. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have lol :)

@cindys-arcade Of course you should submit your game! As I said, keep making games and you will get better! :D
