Do you believe in Santa? He does exist! But there is an issue... He is a little bit different than you would expect.... Take over his character and help him deliver Christmas gifts! Remember though - true Santa likes to treat himself to a good drink.
_Instructions_
As a Santa, you want to deliver as many gifts as possible, but after every delivery, you like to please yourself with a sip of good booze. Deliver as many gifts you can and try not to crash your sleigh. Press Up (or W) and Down (or S) to control Santa.

Felt like Santa wasn't only drinking but taking something a bit stronger perhaps, nice trip through the snowy rooftops regardless. SFX were getting repetitive quite quickly and I think I will hear Santa's laughter while breaking his bottles in my dreams for awhile now (possibly a good thing :) ). I like the children's book graphical style here as it really embraces the way we all know Santa, and then you add your little twist to Santa's story. Very trippy overall experience.
Haha, looks very nice! I like the effect of a multi-colored blinking background. And I think it would be cool to develop this side of the game and add a variety of drunken effects, like blurring or furcation. Also I did not understand the need for periodic reduction in speed after picking up the booze. Anyway, that's a funny game! Well done!
Really fun. The audio is the best thing, you can sense how drunk he's getting just by the sound effects, that's great. The gameplay itself is nothing special, but that's okay for a game jam. The humour is priceless.
I found really interesting that when you die, Snata keep flying in the menu and then when restart you seamlessly start again, without restarting the scene or anything. I think this was a really nice touch.
I love how the effect becoming stronger is the actual reward for scoring. A score is only a number, but I actually retried most times to see how strong the effect can be... At 28 we really start to guess more than we see :) Really nice take on a simple gameplay!
Very well made game, and an interesting theme. It took me a while to to figure out how it was getting harder, but once I realized it it became fairly difficult.
Great job! I like the art, and the effects add to the feeling, although it does seem like Santa is on drugs rather than drinking... Anyway, SFX were great, the gameplay is nice, it fits very well with the theme, and it's pretty innovative. Overall, one of the better entries in this competition. There is a VERY low entry bar...
Really fun ! Nice theme. Cheers to your game and drunk Santa ! The drunken screen effect was really cool. Would like to know how you made it. Was it a sprite sheet or some shader ?
Try out out game if you love to shock the brain out of zombies!
I loved the visuals and the increasing drunken effects. The smooth control on the flying is a lot more pleasant than the usual tapping you find in similar games. Yet it still gets harder as you get more drunk. Good job guys! Cheers!
I love the graphics here!!! Audio is great as well. The only thing I think I would have liked better would be reindeer animations. But overall an amazing entry!
Hey! Great game to play on stream, it was really funny!
It played incredibly well and I loved managing the sleigh and the santa to grab the beers!
Found it abit weird finding the chimneys from the clouds, maybe seeing aeroplanes, hot air balloons or helicopters in the sky to compensate this it would have made it more realistic (although.. this is a drunk santa game!)
A feature I would add to make this game more fun would be an auto-piloting beer option (a special pickup) that would send you forward 5 chimneys but would make you really really drunk (gives the player more variety really 😋)
Other than that, I'll have to commend you on the great music and SFX - loved the drunk we wish you a merry christmas song and the smashed glass bottles - definately gives a new impression to the word "merry"
