Sanatur was karate chopping pine trees down in the forest when he heard a commotion from The North Pole.

Evil Holiday Bats and Ghost Squids had stolen all the holiday spirit and retreated to their Eternal Cave of Despair.

Once again, Santaur is on a one way mission to save the world!

Really nice artwork. Very impressive graphics, a lovely game!

Really nice. Sometimes I would get stuck with the starting gun behind an ice barrier I didn't have the firepower to blow up though, and it was a little frustrating

The music and mood and graphics all felt like they fit very well together.

The nature of it being a platform but only allowing left and right movement made me feel excessively limited in my options. I think I might have been shooting something out at regular intervals, but I couldn't quite tell. They also seemed to always or often go right, which was less helpful when stuff was to my left. Ice at the edge of ledges was particularly confusing.

Too often, out of platformer habit trying to get away from the flying baddies (since I can't jump-dance around them), I tried to run off to the next platform down before it had scrolled. It was depressing to lose simply because the ground was still a few pixels off the screen. :-(

Nice work on the graphics, they're pretty unique. The game is super jolly just for the seasons. It seems like there's some physics problems though. Occasionally I would get stuck on some objects like the ice walls and a few platforms.

I didn't get past a certain level, but great graphics.

Very fun! The art is great!

Wonderful graphics and audio. Presents an urgency but with a light-hearted aesthetic. A few tweaks and you have an excellent mini-game. More time to explain controls between the cutscene and the game. Speaking of, a cutscene? A POLISHED cutscene? in a JAM? Great job!

I usually hate christmas things, but this was spot on. All hail santaur!!!

This was just plain fun! Music, Graphics, and 'story' are fantastic in how well they all work with each other. Platformers like this aren't normally my thing, but i played this one a few extra times just to see all the quotes i could!

Super polished and quite addictive. Every time the bats and squids came out, I kept panicking and would drop off before the next platform was available. I love the spray gun! Great!

Great graphics and humour! I found myself getting stuck on the other side of ice barriers a lot :-\

At first I didn't really get what enemies were supposed to do. Once I figured that out, this game got a lot more fun. :D

The only real problem is that it sticks out the bottom of my screen, so it's really hard to tell when I can go down a platform safely. (My screen resolution is 1366 x 768).

The fact that it had an animated cutscene at the beginning was simply awesome. I also thought that the Santaur jokes were pretty cool. :)

I feel like my bullets had no power behind them, this got especially annoying when I had a bat hovering around me taking me from 5 health to dead with no way to get away.
