Sneaky Santa, the most annoying game of the holidays
Announcement posted by Blue Tardis Pty Ltd 19 Dec 2014
SYDNEY, Australia - I think it's safe to say that mobile gaming has moved away from it's humble beginnings. In the midst of this one development studio has created a simple game using the tried and tested gameplay that has taken mobile gaming to where it is today.
Sneaky Santa is an homage to all the most annoying and difficult platformers in the last two generations. The gameplay is similar to Mario and Duke Nukem with the difficulty of getting a thread through the eye of a needle.
We played the game for almost 45 minutes attempting to complete the final level, only for the developer to laugh at us claiming that only one man has ever completed 'Level 7'... himself.
Sneaky Santa is incredible in it's simplicity. 2D graphics, 2 music loops and some awkward sound effects really bring the idea the developer had for this game to life.
"We wanted to recreate the kind of games that we used to play as kids. The games that you couldn't save, if you died it was bad luck and start again." stated Nickolas Kola, the games designer. "We didn't focus on the graphics or sounds just the physics and gameplay. That is what makes a really good platformer."
Sneaky Santa is available on the Google Play store and is awaiting approval from Apple.
