Santa Gets A Shotgun 2
Gather 'round gamers, as Santa is back with his trusty shotgun and ready to deliver slugs of hot lead this holiday season! As the evil snowmen have once again taken over this small, peaceful town, it's up to you to restore the tranquility with some festive firepower.
But it's not just about surviving the onslaught of frosty foes - you also need to upgrade your gear to match the escalating challenge! Collect points, buy upgrades, face tougher enemies, and turn Santa into the ultimate holiday warrior.
As you progress, you'll encounter more dangerous foes, from basic snowmen that hit you right on your red nose, to explosive snowmen that deal massive amounts of damage if you're unlucky enough to get caught in their blast! You'll need to stay on your toes and keep upgrading your weapons and armor to keep up with the increasing difficulty.
Will you help Santa save the day and bring joy back to this winter wonderland? Grab your shotgun, load up on ammo, and get ready to blast through waves of frosty fiends!
Download the game for the best experience! The web version, unfortunately, has some unfixable stutters. Mac and Linux builds are untested, as I don't have access to hardware to test them on.

got to wave 30 on trackpad ez lol
Hi, I played your game and made a video about it. Just wanted to let you know.
Hey man, this is a really fun game. Great work! It's snappy and the gameplay feels smooth and engaging.
But I don't know if others had the same problem I'm having with it though. Every time, around the 4th or 5th wave, the game just east up all the memory and crashes. It was using 8 Gigs of RAM the first time I checked after it crashed. Then I tried the 32 bit and web versions, but the same with all of them. The web version even gave me an Out of Memory error.
If you're still updating the game, then I'm looking forward to messing around with it for an hour or two more when It's released.
I get the same problem. There's probably going to be a wave of people trying this out since the game grumps just did an episode on it, so hopefully this will get fixed
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll check it out right away!
EDIT: This issue has now been fixed. Thanks for telling me!
Thanks man! The game's working like a charm. Got to like wave 18, but then blew myself up with a grenade. I will try to break the game in unlimited mode in the coming days. Great work!
aw man, the new things are nice and i love the game but i just crashed on a 40+ min endless run... i was so close to making the perfect build :c i think it had to do something with the suicide snowmans as it crashed right as it was about to explode and maybe i shot it? but not sure, maybe i shot it at just the wrong time when it also would have blow up
I’m very sorry that this happened to you! Unfortunately, it’s not something I can replicate and fix. :( I’ve added some additional code to a new version that will be released shortly, which may or may not help fix this issue.
It is nice to see a Christmas game that doesn't go over the top or try to be spooky, just some nice harmless fun with Santa and a shotgun.
I also Tried Santa has a Tower and is a lot of fun too, for anyone playing this game I recommend that one as well and I can't wait for next year when Santa gets a shotgun for the third time!
Keep up the good work!
Really liked the original. Is there any plans for multiplayer?
I will be playing this live tomorrow 12/12 around 5-530 PM EST =D
I had so much fun playing this game! I made an engaging video and a detailed review. Your subscription to my YouTube channel would be greatly appreciated!
