Well, that was rather jolly!

Nice to see the addition of a story to this game, that really helps to add a bit more to the game, I'd have loved to heard some "oofs" and "ouch" noises from the snowball santa as he plummets down the hill, that would have been the cherry on the top. Aside from that little niggle, an entertaining game, wrapped inside a cutesy story, with flamethrowers!

this was a very refreshing game. the music was great, i made it to 456 after the game ended. i liked the graphic effects of the snow and clouds. the santa story made me laugh. it was very fun.

A really nice Christmas-themed game. The graphics are really nice, too. When I saw the first statue I thought it was a trophy and fully crashed into it =)

Haha love the music, getting proper into the Christmas mood now. nicely implemented, liked the comic style story telling (flame-thrower reindeer are awesome). Great job.

This is so christmasy :P I'm sorry, graphics are not the best but I liked the cylinder space, it fits well with tumbling down the mountain. I think you should go more innovative and up your graphics next time, keep up the good work :)

Perfect Christmas game. Glad the reinderr caught Santa otherwise there would have been a lot of sad children.

It was a simple, but enjoyable game. The story also fit well and was just enough to give some humor.

I'm not sure if the difficulty increases over time or I just made that up. But it felt like it did and it felt like it increased at a really well tuned rate. I felt like I was slowly being more and more challenged at the right rate.

I a pretty well made game however the objects should also spread further apart as they get bigger when they approach you so that the gap between objects doesn't shrink.

Very fun, very festive! Made it to the endless mode, then difficulty ramped up nice. Awesome that there is a story, and I laughed at all the landmarks. Did I see the Arc de Triumphe? Would be funnier if the ball looked like Santa covered in snow, with sfx. Thought it was Katamari at first and steered right into a tree...
