I just finished playing Help Santa In Christmas Xmas Game, and I have to say, it’s an absolute gem! From the moment I started, I was charmed by the vibrant graphics and delightful soundtrack that perfectly capture the holiday spirit.

One of the standout features for me is the scaling difficulty. Each level ramps up just enough to keep you challenged without feeling overwhelmed, making it a perfect game for both casual players and those looking for a little more of a challenge. It really kept me on my toes, and I loved how I could always find a new strategy to conquer each level.

The level design is also incredibly engaging! Each stage is thoughtfully crafted with unique obstacles and surprises, which kept the gameplay fresh and exciting. I found myself looking forward to discovering what each new level had in store.

I’m genuinely excited to see what the developers come up with next! You’ve created a fantastic experience that’s sure to become a holiday favorite for many. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait for your next release!

Visually this game is reasonably interesting. The lighting is unique and the CGs are well made. The game starts out with an interesting backstory cut-scene, but the experience is ruined by aggressive screen-shake and stuttering. The tutorial seems incomplete and lacks features such as a pause menu and any audio. The game itself was a challenging experience. The controls were very sluggish and maneuvering was extraordinarily frustrating. Additionally most of the controls and UI are poorly explained and confusing. Without hand-holding from a developer friend, there is absolutely no way I would have completed this game. In-fact during my first play-through, I failed due to starvation and upon trying the game again all my resources, audio, objectives, and pause menu were broken! This required a game restart where once again, I had to fix my settings, sit through the stuttery cut-scene, and re-raise the volume sliders in the main game. The game premise and lore are very interesting and educational; however, they tie into the core mechanics poorly and I feel most of the design choices could use improvement. Given further development, this game could be a decent experience, but as it stands, lacks engagement. Props to the team for the unique game concept though!
