Great Graphics. simple mechanics. Remind me of an old final fantasy style game
Hey! Cool art, santa is a tough one!
I'm also picking up the final fantasy vibes. The music is good!
The UI could have used some more clarity. Even after reading the game description here, it wasn't super intuitive what I was doing. After I played around and defeated my first boss, I got the hang of it.
Also I think there's a bug when trying to summon multiple things at a time - it cancels anything in the queue and only summons the last thing clicked on.
I enjoyed the artwork quite a bit! Mechanically, it's pretty simple, and there didn't seem to be much of a need for strategy. I did fairly well just clicking random summons. :sweat_smile: I think it could've benefited from a little more difficulty, and some more axes around which to strategize. But hey, it's a complete entry, so well done! :tada:
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
@acsid and @andrewkennedy I'm happy to hear it reminded you of a FF, we love those games! We did our best with the graphics and the music in the limited amount of time! Also thanks for the bug report, we are going to take a look at that! @sirjupitron thanks for the comment! I was wondering who how long would it take for someone to get Santa! haha! @bloodyaugust Thanks for the comment! Yes, it is simple mechanically... we had many things we had to leave out due to lack of time. Also, I think we ended up giving it quite a bit of time for the user to be able to win. We will try to do an improved and more challenging post-jam version!
Santa is slapping! It was fun to play. Found a bug, that you can summon while you already summoning someone. Not a big problem.
Design and overall feeling is really good. Have a nice Jam!
I did enjoy the graphics and music as well but I agree with bloodyaugust, there wasn't much strategy involved. After reading the description I thought I'd have to keep track of all the different weaknesses and strengths but since I couldn't choose exactly what to attack with I just had to hope that I randomly get the right summon type and just kept clicking the summon button until I won
I like it. Music and backgrounds and start screen are cool. Also liked little lore thing. As mentioned before, mechanics are not-very-intuitive and for complicated mechanics there is no room to do something complex. Believe postjam will be cool!!!
Your game had me laughing so hard, I've got the giggle abs! Great job, my friend – you've got the humor game on lock!
I loved the art! Mega Santa was pretty sick.
Nice game! the music really adds a lot to the whole feel :) Great job!
@promzona haha Santa, right! Thanks for the feedback and for the bug report! We will try to fix it for the post jam version! I'm glad you liked it! Have a nice jam to you as well!
@potatofinch Thanks for the feedback! I agree, we had to cut out quite a bit of things we planned in order to meet the deadline! We are going to be doing a post-jam version with those ideas and mechanics that didn't make it in!
@jbisnee Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it! Stay tuned for the post-jam version!
@drgcandle haha I'm glad we managed to make you laugh, definitively that was one of our goals! Thanks for the nice comment!
@saffwong hahaha! I'm glad you managed to get Mega Santa! He is a tough one haha!
@mantsje Thanks for the nice comment! I tried my best to make some music that matched the feeling of the game! It was challenging with the limited amount of time and coding the game! The graphics were done by my teammate rsr-studios and also the code!
@tucan Honestly, my friend, your game is truly outstanding, and it provided my girlfriend and me with a very enjoyable afternoon. We both really love your game. If you have the time and energy, please also check out our team's game. We hope it can offer you a sense of relaxation or a knowing smile, as it's a small gift we've prepared for all creators.
That is really a fantastic tune! Best I've heard so far.
Loved the concept and music!
It's an interesting idea, I like the design I think it needs a bit more polishing to become smoother, but overall, it was a good job!
Love the character designs, the music is fitting aswell
Very reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy. I also like that it's kind of a 3D Rock-Paper-Scissors. The sprite art is beautiful, and the sounds took me back to the days of the GameBoy. Good work!
@drgcandl I'm glad to hear you and your girlfriend enjoyed our game! Thanks for the nice comment! I'm trying to play all the games from people commenting here!
@runningopenloop thanks for the encouraging message! I'm glad you liked my music! I tried my best to make it sound good with the limited time we had for the jam!
@funnypumpkin thanks for the nice comment! I'm really glad you liked our game and music! We had a lot of fun making it and we are working on a post jam version!
@zerolarih thanks for the feedback we are always striving to improve things! We are working on a post jam version and we believed it is looking more polished! We hope soon to be able to upload that version!
@p-r thanks for the comment! We are glad you liked our work!
@nrankin13 thanks for the really nice comment! I really like your description of our game! We are really happy our game brought you back to those days, we also remember those days with fondness!
Took a few tried to realize it, but was just summoning everything and only the last one did damage. Neat concept
@zerocomms I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment!
Great stuff! There's a really impressive amount of art in this game, and it's all got a wonderfully consistent style. Mechanics are interesting and make you think strategically, and the music is a great vibe for the setting. Well done all.
@lachlan-james thanks for the encouraging comment, we were a small team working on this and getting this kind of comments is always nice! I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game!
What an incredible quantity of art! I very much liked the time mechanic too, this was a far higher pressure (in a positive way) game than I expected
I very much enjoy your guys game. Mechanically it was pretty simple, but the pixel art was off the charts. There were so many detailed sprites jammed into it and I can tell a lot of effort was put into each one of them. Overall great job!
Audio is attracting and makes me want to play this game over and over again. Fun fact: if you press summon consecutively you will waste lots of time lol
Fun little game, reminded me a lot of old final fantasy, I think if you kept working on this idea it could be a compelling mechanic for a game :smile: Keep on making games!
@jajo I'm glad you liked our game, we put a lot of effort during that weekend and it is nice to see people are liking it! I thing the post-jam version we are working on feels a bit more strategic!
@mgkagamer We really appreciate your comment, we put a lot of effort on this game and we are really happy to see people liking it. This motivates us to keep on improving our skills and making more games!
@utopia I'm really happy to hear you like my music track so much, after reading your comment I feel like making a lot more music! Also thanks for the bug report, we will try to sort it out for the post-jam version.
@frozenfire92 I'm to hear it reminded you of an old FF, we love those games! We are working on a post-jam version which I think feels more strategic than the version we submitted for the jam! Thanks for all the encouragement!
