Noel's Christmas Nightmare by jimmymcmillan

made by jimmymcmillan for LD31 (JAM)

You play as a young boy excited about Christmas!
Look around your room and explore. Interact with objects using 'E'! You can decide the morals of this story..

Your door is frozen shut and you can't go downstairs to open your presents! Explore your room and try to escape!

Move using WASD, Interact and select message option with E and close any pop up messages with SPACE/Q.

Hints can be found in the screenshots.

Works best in latest version of Chrome and Firefox. Sadly there is a graphical glitch with IE.

Made with pure Javascript and HTML5 Canvas.

Made By Joel Bradley, Aaron Daisley and Riki Dhesi.

Like the twist from the common get-out-of-the-room games. Nice job!

I removed the wire from the tree and got stuck on a black screen.

@JoshuaBurr what browser are you using? That seems to be a graphical glitch that happens on older browsers.

The snow many melting animation was really nice and I liked all the chiptune music. Good work.

I couldn't really play this game because the only way to close the pop-ups to keep moving is SPACE, which keeps scrolling the page down for me in Chrome, and I have no idea how to disable it, so it is frustrating. This game looks fun, so if you changed the keys, I'd definitely come back to play and rate it!

@DiegoHenriquez I changed it so you can use Q or Space, I hope this is an except-able edit.

Didn't seem to work the first time I loaded, no messages appeared after trying to interact with all the objects. After a reload messages appeared OK (though interacted with objects in a different order).

Nice concept.

I enjoyed being able to pretty much commit to the good ending, then change my mind at the last second. Laughed pretty hard from that!

Nice little story-based adventure game with pleasant graphics. But a pain to play on an AZERTY keyboard: this is why controls should always include arrow keys. I didn't hear hear any sound effects nor music.

It was pretty fun to play! Thanks for fixing the issue I was having with the SPACE =)

I also got the black screen glitch, when selecting any option in any of the objects, using chrome 38 under ubuntu. Then I was able to run the game correctly using firefox.

Liked alof, the mood, and the type of game! I wanted it to be longer but it's a good start for a jam

Very cute, really enjoyed it. Felt like a nice throwback. Would be cool if you polished it up. :)

When I interact with many of the objects they either do not trigger the correlating event or flash the text super quickly. would love to play when it is fixed
