Here is my entry for the competition, named CandyCane. I originally developed it for the DevCrunch Christmas competition, and then decided to enter it in this competition as well (after making sure that I was allowed, of course

).
It's a Christmas-themed shootemup, where you, the candycane, destroy other Christmassy objects and collect presents to get upgrades. The game is finished, and I will have a download link up shortly.
