Surprisingly Cute, Nothing Spectacular Tho

I apparently can't takea screenshot while ducking in the game... But suffice it to say, it's cute. And overall the Look is a highlight. Good backgrounds and settings.

I wish the Play encoueraged rushing/fast-paced playing more, instead of discouraging it. Parts outright necessitate taking your time because of the relianceon pop out enemies. Also when opening presents.

I think what I just fought was a boss? It changed the tune and I liked the tune.

Welp the unnecessary side scrolling present-delivering segment is my sign to stop and just concede to a 3 star. But surprisingly cute game overall.

Look: 8/10

Sound: 7.5/10

Play: 7/10

Feel: 7.5/10 I love Christmas-themed things.

Attachment: 7/10

Overall: 7.4/10

It feels like it could of had more potential if it was more well thought out. For some reason I feel like the game was rushed and sort of feels incomplete. The Graphics are great and the music is not bad. I like that there is bosses even though they are extremely easy. There is too many flaws in this game to make it a classic. What stands out is probably the concept which tries to do something different with the Christmas theme.
