I remember playing this one. It is really a frustrating game. Balls appear out of nowhere, sometimes within a pattern, sometimes not, making the game very irritating. The controls are not the best either.
The graphics are cute and colourful, despite the colour clashing happening everywhere, and despite playable, the game still messes me up.
A bit annoying for Christmas day. You'll probably end up tearing apart all your unwanted gifts!

A nice game, with nice movility and nice graphics . the atmosphere is cool in this video-game starring oh-oh-oh yeah !! Santa Claus .

Slip down into open chimneys and colect as many golden apples as you can ... do you know any better way of passing a Xmas holiday ??

A merry game for merry people in merry days . 3 / 5 .

Must have been a bad Xmas for those who received this game as gift, or maybe they had been naughty boy, I tried it multiple times just to see if it becomes fun somewhere, as the the first screen seemed like an appetizer more than a complete game, and a frustrating appetizer I must say - but the gameplay it's all like this, ladders, golden apples, green lights and snowballs often suddenly appearing when they absolutely shouldn't, falling green stalactites, and some other random deaths, which I think were caused by electrocution, I don't know. Anyway, once dead, Santa Claus turns into a Christmas tree, somehow. It's not so badly done, it's just not fun. Now I hate Christmas.
2/5

There's not a lot to this, it looks very simple but it's far from it. Snowballs are thrown at you randomly and you can't seem to avoid them, plus his jumping is crap. Too frustrating to play at any time of the year let alone Christmas.

This isn't the worse Christmas out there, but it's not the kindest either. These games are supposed to be fun and jolly like Christmas itself but this is far from it. As my brother stated in the previous review, snowballs appear too randomly in this game which for me spoiled the enjoyment as it's more or less a case of luck through this game. If you want a lot of fun throughout Christmas this definitely isn't the best option.

I found Santa's jumping to be more of a nuisance than the snowballs but yes they add to the frustration too. I've only reached the second screen once and tben that didn't last too long. If you got this for Christmas you might as well have said goodbye to your hair, your patience and your sanity, because this game will drive you up the bleeding wall!
