Santa Claus in Trouble ... again has the same premise as its predecessor: Santa Claus has lost all the presents. Now the player takes his role and has to retrieve them. This game is a standard 3D platformer, meaning the player uses his keyboard to jump through the 12 levels. He has to avoid pits and enemies. Since Santa is a peaceful guy there is no way to kill them. The basic goal of the level is to reach the exit alive.
