The game gets real hard at some place and sometimes you have to guess about where you are supposed to jump to which can be frustrating,"},{"author_name":"HeyChinaski","author_uid":"11211","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:01am","epoch":1387324560,"text":"Fiendishly difficult but worth persevering with! Some of most fun I've had out of all the games I've seen. A very well balanced platformer, my favourite kind :) I loved Santa's face when jumping."},{"author_name":"zebi24","author_uid":"28347","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:06am","epoch":1387324860,"text":"Yeah! I won! :D \rI enjoyed it a lot! Nice mechanics, very smooth. Also great job with level design, it is very hard to beat. Good job!\r\rOne friendly advice: you should make the game more accessible to the people; since it was made in unity you could post a web version or at least seperate downloadable version to reduce download size. It is a good game, it would be nice if more people checked it out."},{"author_name":"eralpkaraduman","author_uid":"2525","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:24am","epoch":1387325940,"text":"I liked the eyes. :) "santa on ... ledge""},{"author_name":"Venks","author_uid":"13781","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:44am","epoch":1387327140,"text":"I'm not a huge fan of dark takes on holiday themes, but none the less its a pretty solid game."},{"author_name":"ryann","author_uid":"26618","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:47am","epoch":1387327320,"text":"The perfect collisions are kind of tedious but it's a hilarious game, I like the idea of subjecting santa claus to mayhem.

One small thing you could do to give some more polish is to change Santa's scaleX (-1 or 1) based on the direction you're moving so it feels like you're changing direction.\r\rThe face is hilarious -- need a "HO HO HO" sound effect to go with it."},{"author_name":"arcticleaf","author_uid":"16606","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 6:11am","epoch":1387433160,"text":"love it haha"},{"author_name":"juaxix","author_uid":"10960","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 2:16pm","epoch":1387462260,"text":"the craziest santa i've ever seen xD"},{"author_name":"Ace","author_uid":"10247","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 10:48am","epoch":1387536180,"text":"Well, it's a nice platformer, though the gravity feels a bit weird.
