Santa comes to good boys and girls and fills their christmas stockings with gifts.... Well your task is to get as much gifts as you can by matching\removing toys out of the stocking))))
Each level has a task/tasks that you should complete in order to move on
If you got stuck and can't pass some of the levels - replay easier ones to earn some gold to buy bonuses and beat the hard level.
Also there is a SURVIVAL mode with a leaderboard, so you guys can compete there!))))
Cheers!
cool xmas game

Thanks;)
Some levels were definitely trickier than others, but the shortcuts you can buy help out a lot once you start using those. If you have some extra coin left over at the end it all gets a bit easier too, no timers can stop you...
Even when it's all done you can keep going with Survival too. Good replayability. Good idea. A bit imbalanced increase of difficulty/randomness, but good fun overall.

The GOOD:
1) Splendid choice of music.
2) Very homely graphics.
3) At least there's the autopause function when you leave the screen, e.g. for a review.
The BAD:
1) The gift targets in the Classical stages aren't triggering as well as they ought. Sometimes it doesn't record when I've drawn a line of peppermints over it.
2) Sharp spike in difficulty starting Level 8. You've basically made this into the Touhou of match 3.
3) On the harder stages, whether you win this or not depends on COMPLETE RANDOM CHANCE. That is, if you're lucky enough not to have your stocking filled by dumb teddy bears.
4) You're expected to play easier levels multiple times to beat the harder ones. How is that really replayability? Those are stages you've felt proud of beating, you want to go to the next and you want it to only have a REASONABLE chance in difficulty. For those of us who don't have as much patience, the game gets very old very quickly.
3.5/5. A lot of work went into this, I'm aware, but it really hasn't been the best experience for me. Plus points for the effort, graphics and music.
cool
