G.I.V.E.R.
A downloadable game jam project for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Submitted for GDEX 2023 Winter Game Jam.
The "GIVER" (Generous Inventing Vibrant Enterprising Red-guy) has been called in to deliver presents. But watch out! Krampus is attacking with his army of goats!
About
Play as Santa piloting his sleigh. Deliver presents to flashing houses; the other houses don't believe in Santa!
You'll start with a shield that blocks incoming damage. Once that breaks, the sleigh will take damage. The sleigh's health bar is the candy cane on the right.
If you take damage, defeat a black goat and pick up its stolen hot chocolate to heal a small amount!
