Game #5 of my "seasonal game binge"

Charming lil platformer, reminded me of early 2000s flash games. I admire the balls in just making Santa's superpowered evil form be Satan lol. Story is just there, but the Engrish was so bad I swore it had to be a poorly translated Japanese game only to discover it was western made

One of the cooler aspects is definitely the presentation. The level screen is done through an advent calendar, and the stage CGs are admittedly damn cool, not to mention songs like Jingle Bells have rather pleasant renditions on the SNES soundchip.

There's not much to say about the gameplay. Levels can be either super short if the player rushes to the end, or decently long if they look for everything, but there's not really any point to the latter. It's an easy and relaxing game for the most part which can be beaten in like 2 hours tops, albeit sometimes the leaps of faith are kinda bullshit. I do wish it had more difficulty, length, polish, and depth but for a kids game it gets the job done.

Also it has a shmup minigame so it's automatically a good game!
