This is my entry for the 2006 xmas compo, it's a gridbased christmas-themed platformer starring Santaman.

The gameplay is kinda like Fishhead 2/3, but this time with a fairly stable engine and more features. You will get new abilities in temples along your way.

Everything in this game is original, I did the sound effects with an old squier guitar with weird amp settings, and the music was performed by my girlfriend(piano) and me(guitar & dobro).

the graphics are nice, but the gameplay is painfully generic, don't you think? it would have been nice if the game were a bit more christmasy instead of being a generic platformer with christmas tacked on.

Oooh such pretty graphics. But I agree on Podunkian, the gamplay is a little dry.

Yeah, the gameplay is generic, just like all my other games. I am still pretty happy with the result tho, it's prolly my first game with an engine that doesn't suck.

LOL!! UPSIDE-DOWN SNOW!! Genius

All agreed that the game play needs some spicing up, other than that - another fun game Hayo should be proud of

Very nice graphics and sound/music. The overall presentation was really professional. It really felt christmassy too! Great game, only played to the falling down level though, then I died and didn't want to play again.

I thought it was pretty well done, but the ending is pretty abrupt

. A bit of a tutorial might have helped, but as most people said, the graphics were wonderful and the christmas theme was well done, too.

My favourite part was the lazy slide guitar

haha, yeah my girlfriend played those songs on the piano and I never heard any of them but tried to play along on the dobro anyway.

And yeah, the "boss" kinda sucks

I liked the valkyries that Santa chatted with at the temples.

I first thought it was annoying you couldn't move sideways and jump at the same time. Then I realized that in order to qualify as a grid-based game, you probably had to keep it that way. The lack of movement also allows you to implement more puzzle elements (the level where you drop down the terraces, and can't come back up the same way, for example).

Nice job on the artwork and music for this one. Santa dangling on the rope is really cool.

THUMBS UP!

Great game . I am at level 6 where there are falling rocks.. cannot seems to pass them. A pity that there are no save point. Guess I have to play again when I am free. Hey.. your game also made it to caiman.

Great game but... BUG! When you're falling towards a switch, pull it before you touch the ground then you will get stuck in the middle of a jump

Nice gfx and great christmas feel. But it was a bit to easy and short. Also not all that fun but I'm sure it will do well in the compo.

Nice graphics and simple, straight forward game play make this a nice Christmas game. Looking forward to your next secular project, whatever it may be!
