Not the most mindblowing thing I've done so far, but I wanted to try it out.

The only things that carried over from the original sketch for little Timmy are his dapper outfit (which kinda makes him look like Richie Rich) and Astro Boy's nose.

Adding that bit of chub from the sprite made his face even more like Astro's.

That frizzy hair is easier to draw by hand than in pixel art.

While Pinafore is influenced by '80s characters, Sam is influence by '90s characters. It might be hard to tell any difference.

I decided to use the scenarios from the movie one of which is perfection itself, the graboids get more sensitive the more together you are wink wink.

Animating those graboid arms was a heck of fun! hope you enjoy it!

That sounds nice and all, but I think I'd better write what I know, and not just go with the poll's results for making my game. No offense.

Did you know? The Horror Forest level of our game is based on the Felix the Cat 1988 movie. The trees and slime was referenced to the scene where Felix meets the old dwarf guy. This level was also inspired by Thriller Bark saga of One Piece, zombies + BG.

If you're worried about whether or not a setting doesn't feel realistic in a platform game's camera angle, treat it like it's a stage play. They're never that realistic, but we buy into them all the same.

I think we might need more levels, but I could be wrong.

Either way, Christmas Sweater Simulator 2 is on its way.

Congrats to the winners and congrats to ALL participants. The games entered in this jam were AMAZING & incredibly hard to judge. Game Jolt staff will reach out to the winner via the email associated with their Game Jolt account!

You know how some anime shows like to turn characters into chibis for over-the-top reactions?

Normally, I'd avoid doing this, since that's like a Disney Princess doing a wild take. Since Sam is more like a '90s anime character, she gets a free pass.
