Made this for v. Also serves as a sampler for what is to come from my future output.
Game may have weird quirks in certain circumstances; the code is awful so I probably won't fix it unless it's an outright crash or other really bad issue, but do report all the same as it will help me buffer out the kinks for future games.
Hope you enjoy!

What a truly beautiful Christmas present to give to someone, both the aesthetics and the gameplay is incredibly unique and made for an enjoyable time, and I bet the recipient quite loved it. The game has neat gimmick needle in which you get candy canes that cause spikes to gain different effects, such as shooting a hot spike will allow you to stand on it temporarily or shooting a blue spike turns it into water. There are 3 floors to the building, and the first 2 really act as preparation for the top one which is a lot harder than the others. There's also presumably a bonus if you complete the game with a lot of extra candy canes, I'm not sure for certain how many you need left but it's more than one!
Would definitely recommend playing this, also the music system in this is absolutely genius and what we need more of.

Some awkwaard stuffs exist but still very cool game imo.
The backtracking design was especially impressive for me.

A top tier atmosphere. I loved how much went into the presentation of this. There's a lot to enjoy here and I completely understand the high ratings.
For me though, I just wasn't having that much fun. I've never been the hugest fan of shooting spikes and the additional stipulation of trying to find ways to avoid shooting made a lot of segments just less enjoyable overall. I felt like I was deliberately picking the less fun path in order to reach an ending I had no clue I would hit. (I did not and it soured my experience further)
The 3rd screen in particular has some saves which just feel far more precise than they probably should have been.
I do want to clarify with my rating that this platforming *does* have a lot to love about it, but most saves felt like it had one jump that made my experience awkward and harder than probably intended, and looking at Chatran's other released output around this time and afterwards, I feel like I wouldn't have this problem with his other games. As it stands, this is a game that I desperately wanted to enjoy more than I did, but could not bring myself to do.
