We have gone too far. Our technological sophistication and quest for better shareholder value led us to perfect the ultimate Christmas AI.
Buynet, the final form of Christmas Shopping.
The Buynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on Black Friday. Buynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes elf-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, December 23rd. Santa is removed from Christmas. Elves are removed from toy production. The Grotto is seized by AI-controlled toys and filled with shoddy, derivative and often weirdly disturbing AI-hallucinated gifts.
There is one hope for salvation.
Become Santatron.
Evade. Attack. Rescue Christmas.

wowow beautiful Christmas gift thanks a lot.
It could become a Christmas music HIT. Obviously the game is othertant over astunning and runs very well on Amiga mini 500 and on FPGA coach. Congratulations again.

Santatron captured me!
You did again John, you saved this Xmas ;)
Thx again ;)

Since there are really beautiful music , it is not possible to introduce an internal player to listen to them, or listen to them through a program via amiga? if possible how?
Not at present, unfortunately. It would take some work to add an in-game sound page, and the soundtrack is not easily separated into different .mod files for playing outside the game. An archive of .mp3 files would be possible but an Amiga may struggle to play those.
SANTATRON 1.0.4 has been released to fix a hanging bug a few users have experienced. It was all that pesky Grunch's fault!
Thank you for making this available to everyone! :)
SANTATRON 1.0.3 has been released to fix a couple of small bugs with a rare item.
Very nice christmas shooter! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:14:56. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Danke :)
This was a lot of fun. Thank you for making it!
Awesome game! I can‘t stop to play
LlamatronSantatron 2024!BTW what is the difference between version 1.0.1 and 1.0.2?
Just some small changes to make music selection better and make the meaning of some text messages clearer.
Cool. What did you code this in?
Mostly C99 with my own game framework. There are little bits of assembler here and there to glue things together. The build chain is CMake based with asset conversion tools mostly in Python.
Thx. Sounds good!
Nice game,thanks.
Thanks :)
Great game,put it up on my channel
Thanks :)
I bought the digital version of the magazine (as shipping is the more expensive than the magazine, and I need to pay import tax to Sweden). But that did not include the game :( any way of getting it digitally? Or should i contact Amiga Addict?
The magazine has a link inside where you can download the game :)
Haha and I thought was was thorough. I shall look again, thank you!
A very good Christmas game with excellent music. I also included it in my new video along with other recently released Amiga games.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the video!
Excellent game. Love the soundtrack.
DJ METUNE really nailed this one!
yeahhh!!! you did it again John, awesome Christmas game ;)
Awesome game!
