Santavania by andrewkennedy

[raw]
made by andrewkennedy for LD34 (JAM)
Hello, and thanks for playing Santavania!

I had very little time this weekend and couldn't do the compo as usual, but I wanted to make something at least.

I had the idea of doing a "Metroidvania-lite" kind of game, where you explore this massive workshop and look for a list of specified presents to bring back. It had to be cut back quite a bit due to scale, but I'm happy overall with what I got done in just a day and a half.

As always, I promise to play, rate, and comment your game if you leave a comment below letting me know what you think.

Thanks for the heads up, I had the file path wrong. It should be working now.

Great job! I definitely love how all the items are implemented into the game. I definitely don't love being slowed down by the bigger bag (but I know why it happens : )

It took me longer than I want to admit, but I did it...
Loved the comment about the last item not doing anything new XD.
Your game looks really nice, but the game took a little long to complete

Great retro feel. Took me ages to realise I could sled over the green wall!

Loved movement feels, really solid. I love the theme and the checkpoints being snow globes. Just wanted to mention the WebGL worked fine for me on Firefox as well!

This was really fun. My final item was the skates. This is also the first game I've given every category the same score, so it's pretty good.

Thanks everyone!

@Squid Blink Games, WebGL should run on everything, but Unity Player no longer works on Chrome.

I like how each of the items give a unique ability. Nice work!
