A Giant Goblin's Xmax Tale
In this 4^th-wall-breaking game you take control of the Giant Goblin who has just shot down Santa on Xmas night. Together, you and the Giant Goblin will go on a merry-old-fashioned-evil-ghost-candy-killing-holiday rampage, to maybe save Xmas from the jerk, Valdeze, who has stolen the naughty-and-nice-list and all the presents.

• The whole tale is fully voiced by actors
• 2D pixelart arcade comedy/horror shooter
• The main game can also be played local co-op
• Local 4 player VS. mode
• The Giant Goblin will complain if you control him badly
• Full of surprises and strange things

This looks rather interesting. :)

I'm a bit confused though. Is this co-op/multiplayer only or does the list only mention that as feature in addition to a solo mode?

I'm very glad you think so. I can see how that is misleading, I'll update the description as this can indeed be played single player.
It should also be quite clear from the trailer. Is there a way to embed the Youtube trailer in this post?

Yes, just post the HTTP link and it will convert to an embedded video.

This looks rather thorough. Nice work :)

It would be a good idea to post some information about how you used SFML in this project.

Thank you very much. And I'm glad you mention it.
This game relies entirely on SFML as it uses sf::RenderWindow to open the display, sf::Sprite for all graphics (except debug rendering of hit boxes) (and text but that uses sf::Text instead), all events and input go through sf:Event and sf::SoundBuffer handles the sound and many others like sf::Vector2f and sf::Clock are used all the time. So all in all this game is pure SFML. Maybe wrapped inside some helper classes but nevertheless.
I should really use this opportunity to thank the SFML developers and this community as without them this would not have been =) So thanks!
