Santatron 2024 Results

25 December 2024

The results of this season's informal Santatron 2024 high-score competition are in.

CharlieFar was the top bot-smasher with a score from, I think, his second and last run. Which is just showing off really. But seven others managed to defeat BuyNet, and all but one of the top ten joined the two-commas club with over one million points.

Congratulations, thanks, and Seasons Greetings to everyone who joined in!

The game was very well received, better than I was expecting really. After the Amiga Addict exclusive release, it was released publicly on itch.io, AmigaKit's A600GS store, and Cammy's Amiga Advent Calendar. It attracted some very flattering comments, and even sneaked on to some "Best of 2024" lists!
