A very ambitious attempt for a project. I can see what you've tried to do but it's a bit too complicated to be able to play without looking around for everything. I feel it needs some guidance on how to play.
However, the amount you have delivered is impressive and I like the meaningless text as it adds character to the game.
Awesome work for a compo entry!
I love the graphics and I think the concept of the game works well.
The audio is a bit grating however. I also think it could do with an indicator to show that you're currently adding tape.
The wall jump feels really good! Would've been nice to have less slippy controls though...
Simple game but quite fun. I like the graphics!
I enjoyed this! Probably the best implementation of looting i've seen yet.
I can see this game getting super frustrating the further you get. Perfect to match the theme!
Amazing game and concept! The controls feel very good too.
A very innovative game! I liked the art too.
The game plays extremely well. I'm just sad I lost my sheep in the forest :(
Funny game! I love the face of the rabbit in trouble too.
Interesting idea! The voice acting, while not always very clear is quite a nice touch.
Could've done with a bit more time to throw some more things but maybe I was just a bit slow!
I like the art!
Graphics are awesome! I'm also impressed you got some AI in there too.
The gameplay is a bit lacking though. I've also seen a bug where you don't get a speech bubble above your head sometimes? (Though I was playing a beta build apparently)
Thanks for all of the reviews! The controls can be annoying but we thought if QWOP can do silly controls then why can't we?! Getting all 10 sausages before the time limit is quite impressive if anyone can manage to do that.
@jason-kennedy Oh yeah thanks for letting us know! I completely overlooked that rule. We've changed the submission to reflect that.
@mruniverse We were thinking about making that a thing you could do but we didn't in the end!
@pcmxms Oh strange... i've never had that. Does it happen when you play with the Windows build?
@stadoblech Yeah sorry about that. Standalone or pressing escape works for me as you can only lock cursor in fullscreen mode.
This game is great! It's a very interesting concept i've not seen before. The only thing letting down the gameplay is a wobble on the game screens while you're moving but you can oversee that.
It is a little lacking for the theme though. I'm guessing the idea is that the other santas get in the way when you have a lot but I feel like getting bigger only helps you.
Having a leaderboard is pretty cool. Not sure when the game ends though?
Yeah I was also instakilled once I hit the spikes. Not sure if that was intended! Fun game though.
Interesting idea. I didn't read the instructions so at first, I didn't realise I was aiming to dodge everything!
Music is a bit repetitive but overall it's a solid compo entry.
Good attempt but there are some control issues when picking up the boxes and it was a little bit raw.
I like the idea of playing the level twice but with changes. That's pretty cool!
Not sure how it fits the theme though? Also I fell off the end of the map the first time I picked up the weed at the end which was a bit annoying.
For 8 hours of work, this is pretty awesome. Sadly the movement controls annoy me a little as it's floaty. Also you could just make sure you never have pellets and take the game really slowly for a huge score.
I also had a bug where I died even though I didn't hit anything :(
Once I got the hang of it it was pretty fun! Sadly it bugged out on me with a looping animation in the corridor.
I do feel like it needed feedback though when you clicked something correctly. I found the best way to play was just to spam click.
Didn't really understand it and i'm not a fan of tutorials :/
