CRIKEYMAS

CRIKEYMAS is a fast-paced platformer where you take control of a (seriously kinda gross-looking) reindeer who somehow ended up as Santa's errand boy, smashing your way through brutally fun levels. Play as a poor, unfortunate reindeer stuck doing Santa's dirty work, and put a giant hammer to use in this super hammer action game where you can pretty much do anything! In this fiendishly fun platformer, smash enemies flat, launch yourself through the air, and somehow survive the developer's completely unhinged approach to difficulty design. YEAH, HAMMERTIME™ Santa's drunk again! Yep. It happened. Again. And unfortunately, if we want the next Christmas to happen at all, someone's gotta help Santa recover from his legendary hangover. Rumor has it he stashed some miracle hangover-curing bacon somewhere... Oh, perfect! That "chosen one" everyone keeps talking about? That's you now. Congrats. Go fetch that bacon Santa hid and try not to question your life choices too much. Super Hammer Action! That hammer isn't just for show! Smash stuff. Launch yourself. Bulldoze through thorny nightmares! It's not just for attacking either -- you can use it to bounce off the ground, leap sky-high, even cling to walls and pull off all sorts of questionable physics-defying nonsense. Retro Graphics & Retro Soundtrack! I think the developer caught a bad case of nostalgia... From the chiptune music to the sound effects to the visuals, everything screams "old-school." The soundtrack, in particular, is inspired by classic Commodore Amiga-era chiptunes. But then the graphics look like something straight out of the Famicom days. ...What kind of combo even is this?
