Christmas Land vs Alien Invasion
IMPORTANT!
For better performance and enjoyment, we highly recommend you download the build for your system instead of playing the web version.
The world of Christmas was a peaceful place. Until one day a meteor struck. From the meteor spawned strange alien nanites and in seemingly no time at all they spread throughout the insect colonies of the world mutating all bug life into half-insect-half-robot creatures. The people of Christmas world tried desperately to stop the invasion, but everywhere the bugs went havoc and destruction ensued.
Slowly but surely, the war is being lost. If they can’t be stopped imminently, the world will end.
Colonel Santa: Goddamn bugs are invading the heart of the Christmas world! If we don’t stop them, the Christmas world as we know it will cease to exist!
Colonel Santa: We need you McCarl! Get your ass in there and bust those freaky Arachnian machines up before they ruin everything!!!
John McCarl… A toughnut cyborg ex-soldier, ex-santa claus turned cop. Ready to fight in the war against the Arachnians.
Save the Christmas world by defeating the leader and source of the infestation.

This was so cool!!!! Best game I've played yet... Oh where to begin
Shotgun and grenades OP!
It's hard to use the machine gun with only 8 directional shooting
I loved that you can see through the trees. I loved the overall game structure. I loved santa's shadow flying across. I loved the pacing, and the timing of new bugs. Color coding weapons to presents took me a minute to pick up on, but was a good choice. The fear that came over me when the bug meteors were falling was awesome. Those purple bugs are fast! great addition of the final boss, but I would've liked it to be endless. Final boss finally shot and scared the crap out of me! Bug speeds were all on par. Those spiders are spooky! The gun and bullet animations were great.
I think maybe you should have had scarce candy canes, and some smaller candy that regenerates less health instead of full heal every time.. Made it (just barely) too easy. Final boss could also use a health meter. I didn't like that I was able to walk through trees and some map obstacles. The machine gun should've been fully auto with more bullets since it's hard to land shots with the 8 directional scheme. Picking up the same gun type should add bullets to your gun instead of replacing it. If I have 25 shotgun and pick up another one I should have 50, not have lost the initial 25. The paragraph in the beginning needs to be broken up into segments. Never hit the player in the face with a giant paragraph unless it's lore or a book or something.
Great work overall!! Can't believe you did this all in a month. Very happy I stopped in to play it. Very polished!
