Dig the NPC design!

Problematic bits - movement is a bit too floaty and I die too much.

Challenging and fun. Took me a while to notice the controls - up to that point I thought the game was unplayable.
The right part may be too gard to complete. Game misses a few points to be complete.
Still a very good game. Has cute graphics.

Hey, nice start!
This game makes me feel like I need to study Stencyl too, this tool looks somewhat attractive for me for a while already...

Very sensitive movement. Little bit frustrating. Pretty graphics though, nice retro feel.

I see the Stencyl logo, and then a blank black screen.

Really liked the firing system, but i think there is something wrong with the gifts.. The first one reachable on the left-under make me restart the whole game.

The game is interesting, but it is kinda full of bugs. For example, if I shoot while facing left, Santa will dash while shooting. Sometimes when I hit a present, santa dies for no reason.

Some sort of progress indicator (x out of y presents collected) would also be nice.

Cheers, and good luck next LD!

Some gifts is really wrong. It's a trap, which warned in the intro.

the movement were very sensitive, and there's a bug when i press left arrow key: Santa keep walking and i can't shoot balls!

I like very much the general idea. I think it can be a very tricky hardcore game! :)

Movement is really tough, and I got killed picking up one of the presents?

Controls a little inconvenient, but it's good start!
Good luck!

The walkmechanic could be better. When you turn the character it steps forward and this makes it complicated to turn on stages. Next time add Music and Sound, Effects :).

Buggy -- I started getting killed trying to pick up the presents. I was trying to jump but I kept sliding everywhere -- not sure if this was intentional. Also, I found that the bombs missing an explosion animation was pretty lacking. Look like it could have potential, though!

Controls are a bit floaty and the objective don't seem very clear to me. I got gifts but some reset the level...

I liked santa's appearance and the level design

nice, but the character glides too much and moves when we shoot to the left, that's strange

Nice little platformer but controls are too twitchy which makes it sometimes frustrating. But a nice effort in such a short time.

oh dear, the windows version crashed in Assets.as line 145. But the zip only contained a swf so I guess the graphics sound weren't zipped with the game?
I like the graphics, sant looks good.
There are a few bug though, falling off-screen, dying when getting a package, etc but for a first game good (I wish my fist ever game was this good).
