you tried and di it I guss

best holiday game I've played in some time

I like it. I will agree with some, it is a little slow gameplay, but I find that adds to the strategy for the game as a whole.
Now where did I put my muffins??

Slow

Cute graphics and neat game, but Santa's sluggish controls and the occasional lag make the game awkward to play.

hehehe...

I STOLEZ YOUR MUFFINS OLD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Address artificial difficulty.

I'd like to begin by saying that I absolutely love your style of detailed, distinct pixel art. It really carries the game, and would have driven me to rate it higher except for a certain oversight: The game is prone to slowdown for me, which would not be fatal, except that only the character and mobs seem to slow down while the speed of objects like ice blocks and boulders remains constant. I'm not certain why the lag selectively targets only certain objects but it would make the game a lot less frustrating if you addressed it.
