Very cool response to the theme and I like how you introduced new mechanics, it was just a bit slow to start. I think you could have maybe increased or ramped up the speed overall.

I can't see him directly behind walls 1-whole block high. Or make him 0.5f alpha and appear infront of the wall so I still know where he is when that happens.\rOverall not bad, but annoyed me at the sloppy execution I'm afraid - this could have been awesome with a few little fixes."},{"author_name":"josefnpat","author_uid":"11249","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:41am","epoch":1450146960,"text":"Nice game! It makes me sad that santa died so many times, but really nice job! I wish there was a better way to teach the player death in a safe environment, but I guess that's why you gave them so many lives. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"Tyler","author_uid":"16252","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:41am","epoch":1450154160,"text":"Wow, for some reason, despite the slow movement speed, I stuck with it and enjoyed it quite a bit! Maybe it's because it reminded me of Paperboy for some reason... The view could be changed slightly because when Santa goes behind walls he isn't visible at all.
