What's In the Box?

This game was made in a few days for Extra Credits Holiday Game Jam 2018. There may be some bugs or design no-no's here and there but they'll get patched up eventually :)

The year is 20XX. Santa Claus is dead.

At the North Pole, challengers compete to become the new Santa Claus. Santa's elves (those that survived) have their favourites and are making bets on which competitor makes it out on top.

• This is a 2-player local multiplayer fighting game.  
• You can punch and dodge attacks.
• An elf will throw presents into the ring that can be opened by players. 
• A present can contain various power-ups or a bomb. Can you tell if a present is a bomb before it disappears? Is it worth the risk?
• Bomb blast clears power-ups for any player that is hit.

While this game can be played with both players using one keyboard, it can be a little cramped/uncomfortable. For this reason, gamepads are strongly recommended.
