Santa Balls by Jervac

made by Jervac for LD34 (JAM)

This is my first Ludum Dare entry, "Santa Speed". Was in a rush with time, but I'm glad to have submit something. Learned a lot from doing a game jam so I'm happy in all.

You're Santa and you're trying to get all the presents you can get for the kids! The elves have gone crazy in this disaster and run around wildly. You must smack them with snowballs from the ground to gain presents.

Controls:

Arrow Keys - Move
Spacebar - throw snowball

The great thing about a game jam is it forces a lot of learning. The controls were responsive, the screen scroll was good. Looks like you got some AI going. Good first effort. I hope to see your effort from your second LD.

Nice effort! :D The game plays really nice and you've got some fast action there. But I couldn't understand the timer thing in the game, as I always run out of time. :P

Graphics are pretty nice too! And, as ChiPassGames said, jams are one of the best places to learn. :)
