in Announce Your Game!
So on impulse I decided to make a xmas game. But it's not your usual xmas message…!

SantaRama is a comical game that pokes fun at the more materialistic side of the holiday season. Don't let the kids fall into Salesman Santa's ads!

Here's a trailer with gameplay



Will be out on Thursday 19th Dec.

    Definitely a message we don't hear enough. As a teacher and parent, I'll say thanks for sticking up for the kids!

    Cheers. I quite like mixing social messages/my views with gameplay and humour. Feels a lot more satisfying than 'just' releasing a game. I do both so def know the difference.

    I reckon gaming could be a lot more than many of us currently perceive it.

    Noticed a couple of nice articles/reviews online Glad to see peeps are enjoying it.

    App Advice made it their "Quirky App of the Day" and gave it 4 stars.

    “I enjoyed playing this game. The most important message in this game is how sensitive kids are to the messages in advertisements and how we as adults respond to them. The memes are pretty funny and are about how a child’s mind responds to the ads, and there’s an eerie truth to them.”

    And HeyUGuysGaming had a nice write up too.

    “The game has made me laugh a few times in the time I have had with it… The game play is simple but addictive… worth a look if you are looking for something festive but different to play this Christmas”

    If you didn't already, download and have a go, it might make you smile…!

    Noticed a few more reviews. It's cool to see that peeps seem to "get it" and enjoy it at the same time.

    TouchMyApps gave it a nice write up:

    "Honey Tribe Studios has an interesting way of making social commentary... and while it may not be a message you want to hear it’s sadly true... the quirky theme, cool music and funny cartoons will keep you sufficiently entertained."

    And also Gamemoir posted about it.

    "Santa ensnares children in his ads in this satirical look at materialism and Christmas."

    Also a post from WiiPlayXbox

    "This commical [sic] arcade game shares an alternative Christmas message, which the developer Honey Tribe Studios have a history of using social or environmental messages within their games."
