Elfie by Pixelboy_85

[raw]
made by Pixelboy_85 for LD25 (JAM)
*Move the Mouse around to Swing the Candy Cane!*

Elfie had a tough day at Santa's Shop...

Daria: Art Director / Asset creation
Tobias: Animations (Spriter) / Asset creation
Michael: Gameplay / Scripting (Construct2)

Lots and lots of Assets didn't make it in the game but we are happy that it's playable and hopefully fun.

Xbox Controller works but maybe not in all Browsers.
Best played in Chrome.

Have Fun!

You have to "wiggle" with the mouse to hit with the candy cane!

Thanks to Pixelboy_85 for the hint. I would not have played long without. I like the several weapons.

Awesome. It was hard to find out how to hit other though.

Awesome graphics/animation/sound! I didn't really like having to move my mouse around to swing the candy cane, but I felt like that would easily work on a mobile device with touch controls. Still great work for such a short amount of time to make it.

Try to use an Xbox controller, it makes the cane swinging easier. It doesn't work on the menus though.

Haha, this is awesome. A score counter would've been nice, but other than that, this is really well done!

Good scores in graphics, audio and mood for me. :)
I loved swinging the candy cane, I didn't like the automatic item pickup because the other items were less funny.

Impressive rich environment with a lot going on without too much slowdown, very nice.
The mouse wiggling mechanic does get old really fast, just give us good old button for some candy-cane-to-the-face action :D

Also there doesn't seem to be any larger objective at play, which is a shame.
Anyhow solid impressive work on the presentation

A little more context or variety would have been nice, but great game overall.

Nice game!
i found the first weapon hard to use, but the bow is worse for me on a laptop without mouse and my cat on the knees. Things get a lot easier with the cannon. well done

He couldn't handle the pre-christmas stress and snapped.
We would have loved to flesh out the story and character,
but unfortunately we had no time for it.

Actually very cute and nice game. I would prefer to swing the cane by pressing button rather by using mouse, but mabye it is just me

That was very cool! I really liked the animated background and weapon variety, although the candy cane was sure to get me hurt. I wish there would have been a score so that I could keep track of how well I am doing.
