Deck the Drones
A downloadable game
On the 23rd of December I decided to start making a Christmas-themed game from scratch for my Amiga, hoping to have it finished by Christmas day... well, that didn't go according to plan but at least I got a short playable level made before Boxing Day!
Thanks to some modern tools and the help of some talented musicians and artists, we came up with the idea of Deck the Drones, a platform game where you must retrieve the stolen Christmas gifts from mysteriously-reprogrammed delivery drones.
Although it's still in very early stages of development, I would like to share what we've made so far just to spread a little festive joy for those looking for something new to try, and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or constructive criticism.
If you'd rather wait until the game is finished before you try, I will do my best to make it available as soon as possible!

A very pleasant game. Thanks for this gift :-)

Very nice game! Thank you for this christmas demo. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:45:14. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Can we find the color palette somewhere ? Or a few pixel acurate screen captures ?
I will try to get some screenshots once we have more tiles made, at the moment the whole thing looks a bit bare and abstract. The in-game graphics are in 16 colours.
Yeah ok. I felt like trying to create a few tiles myself. A snowman or a christmas tree.
Can I share a few (realistic) ideas ?
As a "clear screen" weapon, there could be snowmen near the sidewalk and Moya would grab their heads and throw them in the air before they explode and all the drones on screen are destroyed.
A few pngs could wait for her, holding hot chocolates that would refill her health, or stamina (because it's cold outside). It'd be nice to see her drink a hot chocolate.
And finally, as it is said (in the nicely written story) that her goal is to get the gifts back at the bottom of the christmas trees, Moya could have a carry limit of 50 gifts for example and she would bring them at the bottom of Christmas trees to reach the goal of the level, and the gifts would appear at the bottom of the trees.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
It could become a nice Christmas game.
keep going Cammy! ;)
very good
Demo v.03
Nice game demo!
Wow, thank you! I have already uploaded a newer version with a few extra enemies now, and I will continue adding to the game over the next few days until it’s finished.
Super! A very cool game promises to be! Great work!
