I really like the idea, that you must protect your present ^^\rGraphics are quite nice as well.\rGood work!"},{"author_name":"peacegiverman","author_uid":"13850","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1387323120,"text":"The boss is great :) \r\rI had a problem with the game, though.

I managed to beat Santa on my first go but it was close, I was down to one heart. Really love being able to nudge the gift box with snowballs too, helped me reposition it when it got close to the edges.\r\rAlso, I was moving when I defeated Santa but afterwards the game stopped accepting my directional controls although the character kept running in the direction I had been when I won. It was a bit funny and only the most minor of bugs.\r\rWell done!"},{"author_name":"Jiggawatt","author_uid":"5551","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 5:08pm","epoch":1387472580,"text":"Glad it was so short because nothing happened."},{"author_name":"chriscodes","author_uid":"27364","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 10:18pm","epoch":1387491180,"text":"Nice game!
