I made all the kids sad. :( Really cool concept, there's a lot to micromanage for the player and while it took me a while to get used to the controls I think this is pretty neat.

Nice simulator, I actually felt like Santa. Really hard to play though.

Hi. It took me while to figure out I couldn't just hold down space and I need to press it repeatedly. There seems to be no end ? Its like an endless runner where you see how far you can get. Your accuracy meter is wrong because you only update the amount of presents delivered after a restart on the UI and not the variable. I would add an online high score and punishment for hitting a house twice and possibly houses that bad girls and boys stay in that need to be intentionally missed :P Nice play on theme. Thanks!

Took a while to figure out, even then I couldn't figure out accuracy. Very interesting, with a lot going on!

Nice little game.
It wasn't easy to get it - probably you should add a tutorial ;-)

Nice concept and music, however very hard to figure out what to do, that said once youo have figured it out the game is actualy pretty fun!
Good Job

The controls are really weird, but when you get to it are cool. It needs a little more feedback when you give a present and make a kid happy or sad.

Very interesting concept. Great visuals and sound. But I found it a bit too tempting to just hammer away at all the buttons.

Neat concept. Though the controls were relatively difficult having to click back/forth so frequently as well as consistently pressing spacebar, the premise was still nice so well done on your entry :).

Weird but cool idea. Fits the theme. Controls however were a little tricky, felt like I had to press 3-4 buttons at once all the time. My brain could not really keep up with where I should fire :P

Who thought being Santa was so hard? lol

Nice game, but control scheme was quite awkward. You should've replace the J and K with some keys more appropiate to the right part of the keyboard :)
