Santa Search

i'm glad so many of you enjoyed it, and have made your way through!!
admittedly, this is a Much Easier version than what i gave the other staff to playtest πŸ˜‚
my original version was... probably sadistic in comparison.

:3c
I love this snowman the most.

Leif and Farley's cameos were a lovely surprise (they scared me when they moved, though LOL)
im glad they scared you!! which sounds bad but. i really wanted to show that i now have the power to add NPCs that can move!!
the npc army will grow. (๑‒̀ㅂ‒́)و✧

That was a fun search!
Thank you for making it run so seamless on mobile!❄️
i have to confess i tested it more on mobile mode than i did non-mobile! i feel like it runs a bit smoother on mobile as a result... πŸ˜…

I had a great time!
One point of confusion is that the event is called Santa Search, but I don't think I went searching for Santa... πŸ‘€ lol shhhhh
okay admittedly i may have just thrown the event title out on the spot and may have forgotten about it until after i made the assets
let's just say jingle counts as santa.
it should've been snowman search. or i should've made a labyrinth of santas. i feel like that would've been more unnerving.
 
This was amazing, thank you so much Mistreil for all your hard work putting this together!!! 😁 (and i feel like I got slightly less lost than the 2022 maze, so thank you for nerfing it from whatever nightmare version you gave the staff to test XD)

All the character sprites were so, so, so adorable and the dialogue was hilarious! Though I think my brain has gone full potato mode, because it took me way too long to recognize that the candy canes on the ground were in fact candy canes, and not something more... sinister 😨

if it makes you feel better, i felt it looked like.............. ketchup.

and started thinking "i should make a horror game next halloween" before promptly deciding i probably shouldn't do that. because i like rpgmaker horror games too much and i do not think this would end up rating-appropriate for tbt. cough.
 
This was so cute, I love it when you make games for us Mistreil! Thanks for the snowflakes and coins, have a very happy holiday!

I immediately thought the same thing of the candy canes, and then I thought the snow angels were weeping angels, I was like oh this is a spooky game

This guy literally got me twice and technically a third😀 he's lucky I didn't have my hair dryer πŸ˜‘ In any case this game was super fun and cute! I couldn't stop talking to everything.

I’d love that πŸ‘€ regardless if it would need to be adjusted to be rating appropriate. Otherwise, I’d honestly gladly pay to play a game you make if you ever made a game. πŸ™‚ I feel like they’d be worth it; I love your art and your little games so much :D.
 
That was very fun! I was afraid it was going to be a text based adventure but this is really, really cute and well done, I had a lot of fun. I only found one code out of two but I'm going for another round now because it is really charming πŸ₯°
 
thank you all for the kind words again (as usual??) -- im very glad that people enjoy my silly little games 🫢 i like making these as a bit of a breather. it's definitely motivating for me to know that people like them!
its also usually the only time i actually finish any sort of gamedev endeavours instead of dropping them when i get bored ahahahahha

ahahahaha -- i'll consider it and probably think about it! i'm just... a horror game player so my sense of what qualifies as scary is skewed! and i would feel very bad if i accidentally actually jumpscared someone badly or made people too anxious πŸ˜‚
e.g. i would definitely want to do stuff like "put a room filled with a ton of creepy dolls staring" or an npc that follows from a distance, just because i think its cute. but i know people who would find that deeply uncomfortable. worse with visuals vs text; also apprehension even if nothing happens. i would feel so bad!!

i appreciate the sentiment!! i don't intend to make paid games, at least not for a long while (aside from commissioned ones that i have plans for)
i will accept payment in the form of enjoyment!! (qο½₯βˆ€ο½₯)οΎ‰οΎž

it sure is!!! and sugar we're going down swinging~
and yeah i had to look it up to check what it said after "down, down" because i was like ????? unsure. despite having listened to it hundreds of times.
 
To be honest I haven't even played the game yet, but based on the comments here and from playing the last game made by you, I know it's going to be great! 😁

EDIT: I was right, that was so much fun! Thanks for the game, Mistreil!

This was my favorite part easily, lol.
