he’s so fast
I loved it especially the ending.
Hello, I played this game and I really enjoyed it, good work :)
fun game well done!
Comments below clip:
What starts out as a pleasant hunt for presents, quickly turns the hunter [you] in being chased by a snowman with sinister plans. Your compass tells you where to find the presents, but not where the secrets are, so I did find the 3 presents, but not a single secret.Wonderful setting, great atmo and crisp texturing/graphics. Thus this games gets a BIG thumbs up, as I had a great time playing it.
Didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved, and thanks for making this game!
Thank a lot for the gameplay video and the comment :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Have a nice christmas!
Really good game looking forward to play more of your games
A fun short horror game. Playtime ~5-10 minutes.
My playthrough:
(SPOILERS BELOW)My thoughts on the game:
Overall, I enjoyed the game. Great job!
Hey Slithersy, thanks a lot for playing, I'm happy that you liked the game.
It's really nice how much effort you put into the feedback - huge thanks for that!
I just released a small update with a few changes and bugfixes (it's not worth replaying the game. The update is just to round it up!)
The snowman model is a free asset from the store. Credits will be added soon.
Original the snowman should teleport behind the player, I ain't managed to implement this mechanic (it was kinda buggy) I also thought about multiple snowmans - maybe next year in "Happy Snowman 2" ;)
7:57 The snowman has a radius in which he ain't move if you once looked at him.
2:36 It's a bug from the fog-system I'm using!
2:44 If a sound played, the snowman ain't make a sound for the next 10sec. and until he changed his position. Before this, it was way more annoying because he played a sound every time you looked at him.
Thanks again, for the nice comment :)
Well Done
Sweet, cute and definitely immersive! Gold Star 🎇
I genuinely enjoyed this. I think because of how bright the atmosphere was. Definitely unique with the style and sound design. It was a delight for sure.
Best of luck with the future games. Cheers!
Thanks a lot for the nice comment :)
My goal was to develop a game that seems like a kid-game with it's overall style, yet with the twist of being a horror game. This creates a uniquely unsettling harmony.
I have a few planes for next year, such as experiment with multiplayer and moving bigger projects to steam.
Thanks for the comment, I'm happy that you enjoyed the game :)
Nice, easy-going game.
Nice to see a new christmas game, manage to beat it on my second try, but i found some bugs.
After dying and pressing restart the cursor doesn't disappear and didn't lock on the screen, but going back to the main menu fixit.
This next one is more important to fix, dying or going to the menu and playing again bugs the compass, right clik just stops working
And i'm excited to find all the secrets
Thanks a lot for playing MrChocho :)
Also thank you for the bug report, I'll take care of it.
I will release an update that further polishes the game and adds a few more things.
There are 3 secret locations to discover, but also much more beyond that ;)
how many minutes is the game?
Depends on how fast you find all the gifts.
I guess between 10-20 min.
