Save Christmas by oskardevelopment

[raw]
made by oskardevelopment for LD 40 (COMPO)

A personal joke and attempt of Christmas spirit!

Take over as a Santa's Elf and try to save the world while Santa is on vacation.

Use mouse scrolling, dragging and alternatively the keyboard buttons W, A, S, D, + or - to move around the world. Click on designated countries to launch campaigns of Christmas kindness to improve local stability!

Everyone is always a winner, but a special win goes to the player that reach twenty or lower in average instability or when collecting over 15 awards in one game session.

Do not take it too seriously, the game is an attempt at a bad joke and should be played as such!

I don't understand what I was doing :/ I was just clicking on these cases, and when they became red, I did not have maluses. Huh. Sorry, but maybe I missed something. Also there is too much to readin once, and too much diolog boxes. In a certain way, that is coherent with the theme ... bUt that is not that way interesting :/

But that is almost Christmas ! So ... Great job though x)

Keep coding !

The concept is there, but it is lacking. The scrolling needs some work too.

Interesting concept and well executed, but a few issues. Some of my clicks seem to be getting lost, the situation popup resolution buttons are too far away from the play field, and you cant view all the countries without zooming out (and thus only using 1/4 of the screen. Otherwise well polished and interesting engine choice.
WoooWooo

The theme connection eludes me, but otherwise this is an interesting clicker. I could not save Christmas everywhere in the world lol! Would be nice if scrolling was a bit faster but zooming out all the way made one realize how bad one was at saving xmas!

I do like the concept, but this is really not designed for the player. I'm impressed by what I think must be there behind the scenes, as the fields appear to be linked in some way. The idea was good, but mabe it was too much to make it playable in the short time. Good job, still! :)

Not bad idea. It could be more politically incorrect :)
