Instead of coal this year, Santa has in fact thrown two bad children into his gladiatorial arena, where they must appease a crowd of elves, twisted from their mindless work in Santa's joyous workshops.

The controls are somewhat interesting because of the 3d movement.
It works but you need to get used to it.
Fun game nice touch with the snowman :p
I died at wave 4
Funny idea. It would probably be more fun with a 2nd player, as the feeling of competition would probably enhance the experience a bit. Good game and nice idea!
And as much as I loved all the bodies on the floor it got a little visually confusing. Maybe a body zamboni could scoot through the stages? Lol.
Anyway solid work!
Great job!

Come and see us..
I was happy when I finally realized the snowmen were throwing carrots.
The graphic style is pretty cool, though you have to be carefull to keep the brightness of the sprites similar to that of the other elements.
The health bar is way to far up in the screen, and kind of tiny, so it's hard to look at it while you're playing.
It was really funny to see the corpses accumulating and leaving less and less space to move freely, it makes for a nice mechanic.
Good job!
