Bit of a longshot on the theme with this one. We had hoped that no matter what the theme would be, we would try to do something festive.
We started off with a pretty basic idea of: you only get one enemy. That being Santa Claws. However over time zombie elves sneaked into the game and forced us to go along with ‘You only get one elf’
Its amazing how broad this theme is, which only shows how much of a difficult theme it is when you actually want to base the core of the game around it. We didn’t, so it was Ok.
Overall I’m pretty pleased with this one. There are a few game design elements Id like to change, and some things that seem to have been forgotten about in the last few minutes of trying to get it finished and uploaded. Most notably the game seems a bit too easy, and the ‘make snowball’/ reload feature doesn’t seem to work as hoped. after a while of mashing R eventually the elf reloads. Mildy frustrating.
oh, and now I have a sore throat from doing the Santa voice.
Hope you enjoy!
