Looks like a diet Dr. Pepper
LGR
Thank you, and to you as well!

Indeed, if it wasn't for the password system this would be entirely too aggravating in certain sections

Merry Christmas, Clint!

I've never beaten the Xmas edition of this game because it was too long, quite brutal and had no option for saving. Which is a shame because it really is one of the best Christmas themed games available for freeware, and I wish there was a recreation of the game released as an indie title someday!
Tim
And a merry Christmas to you too!
Oh no, what have you done Clint?! This is. To my life for the immediate foreseeable future. Wall humping and little helpers here I come....
In the intro what drink are you drinking?
LGR
It's a lovely game for the holiday indeed, enjoy!
LGR
Yeah that sliding move inaccuracy drives me crazy NOW

Allegro has a TON of features. It's not however an "engine". It merely provides a framework of basic functions to make accessing things like graphics and audio way easier than trying to do it from scratch. Also makes porting easier as it's multi-platform. ;)

Memories! I remember this game being my envy back when I was young and trying to swallow C in my omg-the-internet-is-so-cool attention-span. Looking back a decade and a half later, it brings back very fond memories.

What a cute happy game! I'd never heard of it. I'm terrible at platformers though so it'd probably drive me crazy. Especially the sliding move!

Those snails reminded me of magic pockets :)

What a lovely game. I think I'll enjoy it a lot ! This is a perfect game for the hollydays, neat! :)
LGR
I'd welcome it.
LGR
I think once a year is more than enough for that clone ;)
LGR
Seems to be quite the versatile set of code!
LGR
I'd never heard of it either until some years ago when people were requesting it in the comments! Came out a bit beyond the time when I was actively looking for games like that.

I have to admit.. this one slipped me by. I mean, I've never heard of Happyland Adventures at all until now. Looks, neat, though.

It was also made using the Allegro Game Programming Libraries, the same I used myself for my past games and this one's still top-rated on the Allegro.cc website! :)

Hey Clint, any plans on unleashing new clones in 2018? How about a Valentine's or an Easter's Clone?

I'm tempted to learn game programming just so I can make a Christmas game in which Santa isn't portrayed as a useless slob. Something like "Santa vs Predator".
