trijam-83 - Killer Santa and the ungrateful Elves

Santa is mad at his elves who went rogue... Help him kicking their ass planting Christmas trees and firing them as missiles.

Left - Right : move Santa

Down: plant a tree (max 5 at the same time on screen)

Space: fire the tree right in front of Santa

Brotherly participation to Trijam 83

This is our first participation to a jam of any kind. I must say that the 3 hours limit is quite challenging. We started with what we thought was a very narrow, limited scope and yet only delivered half of it. We wanted to implement on top of this:

•  A pile of gifts that would be targeted by the elves throwing bombs at them
• The elves were to come in group, wave after wave
• The waves were meant to be more and more difficult (more elves, more bombs and faster speed)
• Some basic menuing, including a pause menu and an end screen with final score when all gifts were eventually destroyed
• Christmas trees had normally to grow before being available for firing
• Regarding the assets, we lost quite some time trying to find something we could use and ended up quickly sketching in google drawing
• We also wanted to include some background music and sound effects

When I see what we eventually delivered we really only delivered the main mechanic:

• Enemies in the sky to be targeted from the ground (inspired by the classical space invader in terms of gameplay)
• The ammunition is not immediately available and must be planted first
