Hi everyone,

I thought I'd dust off my CMM2 during the Christmas break and have some fun trying to make a little Santa game.

It's a simple game that has you catching gifts and whacking the grinch on the head!

Fun fact, all the pixel art has been generated by ChatGPT4.

After you extract the ZIP file onto your SD card, there is a small readme.txt with further instructions on how to play the game.

You can see a little gameplay video here.

Download it here:
santas-catch.zip

Let me know what you think!

Ohhh... taht intro screen and colors looks so nice :)

it was interesting "unpack" and see what`s inside :) Like small schristmas gift :)
It seems it was written as game for two ? :)

Really neat surprise for my CMM2!

As minor thing, I`d add small list in first screen with keys "UP, LEFT, BASH" etc.. or maybe "define keys" :)

Thank you :) (scored 125, must wait "player two" to wake up :D )

I miss "like" functionality under posts , like in FB or telegram or similar.
There are so many situations there is nothing more to add or say, but would be nice to support idea sending thumbs up!

Thanks everybody for the feedback! It's so nice to just sit behind a machine and not be distracted by anything because it just does one thing at a time.

Martin H. said would also look nice on Pico

I'm not sure what a Pico is, I'm assuming it's a smaller device that runs MMBasic? Can I make one myself?

Also, love the avatar, made me re-watch Second Reality just now ;)

Cheers!
