Fantastic game. Having only played around 10 minutes I somehow had the urge to write a positive review. This game is so simple yet better than todays AAA garbage. Having the best graphics or largest budget no longer mean anything to me. Just an overall relaxing game that has funny ragdoll effects and allows you to throw elves. Great work developer.

This is what forced isolation with a bunch of weirdos does to a man.
That, and a steady diet of goodies.

This is a lovely game that has a lot of potential. I would've called it good if it wasn't so severely bugged. I was able to finish it with only one full reset, however, not everyone got this lucky.
The best advice I can give to avoid bugs is to complete quests one by one (not picking another until finishing an already picked one) and try to not do extreme things (like getting hit by a train too many times or jumping from way too high).
Jumping in the game is a quite annoying as well (I played on PC, not sure if it is better with the controller), but gets tolerable after some time.
The game looks nice, the optimization is decent, the quests have variety, the world is very interactive. I legitimately enjoyed playing it, and do recommend to get it on sale, if you can tolerate the bugs.

So many bugs! I tried three different quests so far and couldn't complete any of them. I collected everything I needed and the elf who gave me the quest never accepted to finish it even after I restarted the game and started over. I fell from a roof and got caught under the snow, I had to restart the game again. Basically an hour of "playtime" just to restart the game three times and accomplish almost nothing.
The music is nice though, cute Christmas vibe.

WARNING! Does not run on Windows 11, crashes immediately on two different machines. I got it running on an older machine that runs Windows 10.
This game is basically a very basic 3D platformer collect-a-thon. There are 40 different quests and challenges to get ornaments to light up the Christmas tree. Those are interesting diversions from throwing elves around the place and ragdolling Santa, but make no mistake, the main reason to get this game is the elf tossing.

It's cute.. Should be on sale or free, though.
[b] It's a *MAYBE*[/b]
Why aren't there more reviews about the bugs I wonder? Seems lots of bugs so far.
Lots of bugs. I'd say it's worth it as a freebie (I gifted someone this bc of it's slap happy fun)
and maybe, *maybe* on sale. Had all kinds of "do you agrees" upon starting, too. For such a simple game it's got some demands.
I got stuck within 4 minutes after "petting the dog" lol
Alt+Tab can switch to another program. Can also use alt + esc, windows key? IDK.. but there's ways to quit if you get stuck and want out of the game. Yeah, I tried escape and it didn't let me leave so be prepared for shortcut keys Then you can tell STEAM to make it stop in STEAM.
This is a low budget game, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion)

I hope people buy this game because it's really fun! I also hope the developer continues to add stuff because I like the feel of this game, I love the missions, the mechanics, I love the idea of this game and feel like it has a lot of potential!!!
Great work!

I was surprised at how charming this little game was to play at Christmas time. It's cute and oozing with plenty of holiday cheer. The achievements were fun to collect and it was fun running around the North Pole and completing various activities. That being said, the game is quite short, and even though I enjoyed it I would recommend waiting for a sale.
