Very nice game.
- Graphics are good
- Game type is a tad overdone, but at least this one is done well ;)
- Weapon types are good
- I found it somewhat confusing that each time I picked up a package my gun changed.
(on a personal note, this game is good enough to stand on its own merits - don't sell yourself short by talking about your age)
pros
Good graphics
Good sound (option to turn off music maybe?)
nice theme/mood
cons
jumping is very fast and high, would have been nice to be able to jump lower by tapping the jump button.
when you are near the top, the snow gets in the way of your weapon display.
I found the level well designed and I like the various sprites.
The music is nice and Christmasish but a bit too repetitive.
I didn't like that it auto-selected the gun for you after you pick up ammo for it.
Gun icons with ammo counter might help.
There was nice music, good graphics, and the gameplay was fun too!
I didn't have any particular problems with it, except being bad at platforming and shooting stuff. ;) This won't make my rating worse, though!
Keep it up!
By the way, if you want a better host than dropbox (which is blocked by many firewalls), you might consider the free Java hosting offered at http://StaticVoidGames.com. This game would have fit in great with our December holidays theme!
However, every other aspect of the game is truly impressive for a 14 year old programmer. Keep up the good work. Everything is great!
Good sprites and a lot of different guns.
My point of critiscism would be the movement/responsiveness of the elf. But that is typically the after 48hour tweaking.
