My elves,

We are a week from Christmas, and I completely forgot about it. It’s your obligation to go to the old factory depot, and find some old presents. Be careful while walking there. Many traps and threats are waiting for you on those dark corridors. You have to get the presents before 23:59 of 12/24.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Now I know that elves' lives are not so easy!I really enjoyed being able to see the skeleton of other players with the score and the year they died.

Hmm, I like how it shows the other players, but I kinda wish that meant there was more multiplayer compatibility. I also don't see the point of the swearing in this, lol.
DreamerofDays5 Oct 2020, 19:28
Realy nice game, the looks and feel realy got me trying agian and again and again. I laughed every time i died. good job on mking this!
Sven Lowry5 Oct 2020, 19:28
Loved the graphics and sound, but most of all the message when I died!

it just crashes on the loading screen when I try to play it D:
Unicornfrog
Unicornfrogauthor5 Oct 2020, 22:50
we asked the elfs to check. It looks all right @vanea. :O
if anyone else has problems just let me know.

Interesting idea I really liked this take on the theme. Although I do have to agree with other players the gratuitous swearing doesn't really do much for me. It feels like its just there for the joke of "Its Santa but he swears"

Hey @thorn, tks for feed back.
When we wrote the texts, we imagined a Rick and Morty style. Perhaps it lacked more context and ambiance? But I hope you had fun :)

@dani-tufeld When you get a top score you can find your body char with your score. :D

the dynamic light and shadow calculation looks nice. Also tons of nice-looking graphics in the game. And sounds are ok. You just die too easily.

The idea of showing other players corpses is really interesting and cool, and the artstyle is also very good!

THIS GAME IS COOL!! YOU CAN SEE OTHERS DYING HAHA! Art is great, music is great, gameplay is simple BUT great too, i would add probably more feedback when picking the gifts, but that's it for now! Awesome work :heart:

The seeing where others died feature is fantastic. I love the graphics too, excellent job. The game is very hard though! 😅

Amazing art, and it's really cool that you can see the other dead players and their score.
Nice polished game, the whole environment just looks great!

@dsaltares tks my friend. We love the score idea too. For challenge your friends. :D

Ow @danielcmcg you are very nice. Tks for the comment. On the ludum dare 47 we prepared for do a more complete game. Because the 46 we fail :/. Lessons learn.
SimplePotential8 Oct 2020, 19:12
Outstanding! The art is wonderful and the game play smooth and pretty understandable after one play through. You might need to wash your mouth out with soap after though! Lol

That was quite fun! It's cool to see other people's score. I really enjoyed that the music gain some speed with the rest of the game.

The only negative side for me is that I think the fire's hitbox is pretty unforgiving but that's not a real problem. Very good job on this one, I'm going to watch your making of video. That a really solid jam game!
mumaitron8 Oct 2020, 20:34
I really like the looks and the music of this game, and viewing other player deathscores makes you want to go for that mark! good job!
Mog138 Oct 2020, 20:40
I genuinly laughed. Its quite a simple concept but the execution, humour and showing other scores really elevates it into something special. I enjoyed the experience and atmosphere, great job!

This one was absolutely hilarious. A wonderful take on the theme and a genuinely enjoyable, difficult game. Kudos!

Look at you bothering making such an overkill top score system! This game looked great and played nicely though, super hard for some reasons. But whats up with christmas...in doom dungeon? and swearing? and not the usual kind of elf? Ridiculous stuff all around but hey, thats the fun stuff!

@simplepotential hahahaha, tks for feedback. Glad you liked the game. Yes, we already separated the soap: D

@chocolat-endive The touch of increasing the rhythm of the music was in the last minutes. Tks for comment, you are special to us.

@mumaitron TKs bro. One of us really wanted to make a multiplayer game. It was the path we found for the interaction between the players that fit in the jam
Unicornfrog
Unicornfrogauthor9 Oct 2020, 11:17
@mog13 I really wanted to generate this feeling. Laughing, funny. It was the start of our personal challenge. I'm very happy with the feed and also to know that it worked. Special moment here. :D

@geraldfingburke, my friend, you don't know how wonderful it is to hear that. We are radiant with happiness reading the comments. Yours deserves a special star. :star2:

@joh When we had the idea and it was winning among the ideas. We had this fear. Talk about Christmas in October? Santa's dungeon? Will it make sense... But even out of sense. We remember Tim Burton's Christmas film with Hallowen. In the end it was an interesting mix. This Christmas dungeon: D

Man the music is so soothing!!! Nice movement controls! It did not feel too slippery nor too sticky. It was on point! Greato Jobu! :smile:

maybe some kind of hit-point system would be good, but it's really fun!

Great graphics! Nice detail with the other players corpses. It feels kinda weird that you can still control the character for a while once you get hit or when you win.
