Hey, it's Christmas! And, since I haven't really shown much this year (in fact I have made absolutely zero amount of games) I decided to create a game very loosely based on a retro game called Top Hat Willy (which in turn was based off Jet Set Willy).

I have been working on this game on and off for a couple of weeks now, and really, the combined hours that have been put into the game boil down to only a few. Meaning that officially, the game probably took a week, maybe less, to make.

I'm going to tell you one thing right from the start. You probably won't enjoy this game as much as you did with my other projects. I was very demotivated through making SCP. I didn't like doing it. I had loads of stuff to deal in the time it took to make this, as well as organising the Daily Click Christmas competition 2005.

I'm also going to tell you another thing. The graphics are deliberately sprited like that. To try and capture a retro feel. They're awful graphics, but I was trying something else other than double outlined characters.

SANTA'S CHRISTMAS CRACKER 3:
So, in this party package, there are actually three games. The main game (Santa's Christmas Cracker 3) is a lot like Top Hat Willy. SHIFT/SPACE to jump, arrow keys to move around, ENTER to pause. Don't touch the bad guys, but collect all the presents (yes, those flickery things). There are 100 of them. You have three lives. This is easily the hardest of the trio of games.

SANTA RUNNER:
Once I had finished making the main game (SCC3) I decided to try and include some extra stuff. You know, to try and make the package somewhat worth downloading. I only made five levels of this, and the premise is the same as the game above. Only this time you're on a single screen. Get the presents. Don't get killed. Three lives. You know the drill.

NUMBER GUESS:
I made this for a charity recently and thought I might as well include it in the package (since it uses the same fonts and everything). Really easy to play. Type in a number. Press ENTER to see how close you are to guessing it.

Released 23rd December.

None of the admins accept their own games. It's just a thing we have.

Solid game, but I kinda wished there was some kind of counter showing how many presents were remaining.

I wouldn't say its one of your better games but its good to have a little christmassy game around - from what it sounds anyway, you wern't trying to make a great game, just something for christmas. It was nice first time round though

I'm a big fan of your games, circy! (we met actually, I used to be Aku) but this time you have not convinced me. I understand why you tried a change of gfx style, but somehow it just doesnt work. Apart from that, the games lacked origionality. I dont like saying it, but this is the first title you've released, that did not make me wanne finish it. I'm sorry..

Lovely retro-stylee graphics and gameplay, although I'd like to have counters for presents, lives and the chance to press escape instead of ALT+F4 to quit

Very nice, indeed.

This would be a quality game but the music completely destroys my ears before I can finish the game, adds some sort of time attack feel to it, tee hee hee.

That game like jet set willy is pretty good until you realise how many screens there really are. But from experience I know that Jet set willy is impossible to finish and 100% unfair, this is more fair and probably completable.
(that too had nothing telling you how many objects were left)

the other games were nice too,

Press ENTER to see how many lives you have, how many presents there are to collect, etc.

I know this isn't a terribly outstanding game. I thought I'd just release something small and undemanding. Henceforth I won't be offended if you don't like it - or even insult it, because I've put little effort in. I just rushed it out for Christmas.
