While shepherds watched their flocks by night... they didn't notice the undead masses slowly advancing over the hills.
It's the very first Christmas Day, and Mary and Joseph are down the local inn, shirking their divinely appointed parental responsibilities. Thankfully, the man upstairs is on the ball, and has enlisted the help of jolly old Saint Nick to save the day.
The future of all Christendom rests in the hands of Santa, in whose hands also rests the *one and only* Son of God. Saviour of humanity. Vanquisher of zombies!
Merry Christmas Everybody!

This game is amazing, I really liked the baby throwing physics and how they blend with your movement. Catchy music, great art and fun gameplay. 5+ Stars, well done.
haha Christmas Zombies! I thought about it but couldn't make it fit the theme, but you guys did that brilliantly. Great graphics and nice retro music. Gameplay is fluent (except for the akward use of the mouse button for me) I like the way Jesus bounces.
I love this game! Very well made. Charming graphics, nice music, fun and cool gameplay. Movement felt smooth, attacking felt fluid, slam-dunking baby jesus into the head of a roman legionaire has never been this fun.
That is pretty funny. The character art is really good. Game plays really smooth. I had a little difficulty throwing the baby both directions, sometimes it would only throw left, then other times it would only throw right - it would drop the baby on the other side. Neat game!
@goerp - Thanks as always! One of these days we will end up with a game that really fits the theme. Check out the updated blurb above for a hint at the theme.
@Nisshoku - Not good enough! You need to kill all of the zombies; granted, there are infinitely many, so you get points for trying :)
@thatwhichis - I think those, along with Riilu's "slam-dunking baby jesus into the head of a roman legionaire has never been this fun" will make it onto the box art :D
@Doctor Broccoli - Our game contains only divinely sanctioned violence.
Loved the theme. Tossing baby jesus to kill zombies was hilarious. The sprites on the dark side shaded correctly and it was amazing that you cared for the lightning.
I felt like I was throwing baby Jesus as a sacrifice to the zombies. Really nice game. I included this game in my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/0DcB_uEEmYE
I'm surprised this has no comments :/ Remember to play other peoples' games to get ratings on yours :)
Well done!
