I watched Trihan play this and then gave it a go myself. The battle system is interesting. One thing I didn't like was that once I got to the last two battles, I couldn't exit the game. Since I already saw it played, I was going to exit, but I couldn't find that option. I was in full screen mode and there wasn't even a way to X out of the window. I would have had to opt for an End Task and I didn't want to do that. For the type of player that I am where I have to stop playing at the drop of a hat, that would be a definite problem for me in a game. Besides that though, very nice.
Thanks for checking it out zombie! Feedback is noted and appreciated. Normally I put a whole control scheme in a help file, tutorial and/or on the game page, but was pressed for time. Any time you're stuck in full screen or a softlock or a hardlock or whatever in MV/MZ press F4 to exit full screen to enter window mode or F5 to restart to title and can exit game from there. I wish MV/MZ allowed for players to enter the options menu from battle so its easier / more intuitive to exit full screen. Like I said, I should have included better instructions, that's my bad and on me. Thanks again for checking it out and spending the time to leave feedback. You're awesome for doing so. :)
Thanks for teaching me something new!
Amazing game, dude! The combat system is very cool and the graphics and humor are very good! Nice work!
Krampus totally wasted me O__o I actually kinda dig the look and feel of the game, something I wuz leery of at first! <3 Especially love Santa's kooky face and fake-lookin' beard, plus his crazy killer moves :D
Thanks for playing, Alice and hope you had fun! I originally had santa looking like a fat bearded Vegeta before I tried to make him look more like Coca-Cola's Santa and then just said, "good enough". Lmao.
It's Chrono engine right ?!
I love the battle system !
the map on the outside is amazing too !
but sometimes, I get stuck after the battle like in the picture,
the battle result didn't come out and just stuck there so I often need to restart the game
thanks for playing the game! Sorry about the bug, I thought I fixed it, guess I didn't. It happens so infrequently and randomly in my testing, I am at my wit's end with it. My best guess is, it is loading the victory screen while the HUD stuff is still being cleared and it hangs it up. So sorry that happened to you and thanks for reporting it.
The battle system was really nice. It's like real-time battles without any transition screen! Lovely work. The sprites were also great. However, the overall maps could use a bit more love.
It took me a while to figure out that I can walk under the bridges (the top floor). Lol. When that clicked, I finally was able to finish the game.
I appreciate the humor attempt. Mini boss and the creatine made me laugh a little bit. But the humor overall fell a bit flat for me.
I enjoyed this quick little jam game. A solid job with this one, Slaughty!
Nice, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree maps could use a better layout and the critical path made a bit more obvious. That's good advice I'll take into account moving forward.
The battle system is really fun, and the graphics with the maps and animations are gorgeous! :D I truly enjoyed the Christmas spirit in this entry while battling my way to the mobs. Very good job! <3
Thanks Starmage for checking it out!
