Not bad at all, really !

Almost all elements of your game are quite good, except the graphis, which are not for my taste.
But, I had quite fun by playing it, indeed, I liked the fact that we have to take the weapons from the scenery. I managed to finish it, I noticed that at each wave of enemy that there is an increasing of the difficulty, which was quite nice.

So overall, good job !

Nice! Good use of the theme, and the graphics & music create a nice mood. Gameplay was fun (the challenge going up as time went on felt good) though the combat was pretty basic, and a lot of times I would accidentally shoot when I wanted to collect peppermint - might be nice to have those actions on different controls. Could use a tutorial or some sort of in-game explanation for the controls too. Still a pretty solid game, nice work! Keep it up! :D

Fun little game with lots of nice elements. The enemies ended up underneath stuff so it was hard to see them at times but not sure if that was intended anyways. Difficulty increase was good and music worked well to set the mood. Nice job :D

A sweet and simple game with a lot of personality. I liked how each type of candy had different properties and the fact that the enemies were gingerbread men really leaned into the stylistic choice for the game. As mentioned by a few others, there were a few bugs, but they didn't take away from the game too much. Additionally, I really enjoyed the music for when enemies were spawned.

A solid entry with a lot of heart. The graphics were super cute and fit the overall theme of the game really well. I could not figure out what the gumdrops do, therefor the game got pretty hard pretty quick, but was fun nontheless. Really well done!

It was fun hoovering up all the candy. To be honest I was trying to run away from the girl most of the time. I didn't realise I was supposed to protect her!!

I liked this game! I got stuck in a tree, and the angel died, not sure if it was a feature. But I really enjoyed it, nice work.
