(NO SPOILERS) Summary: After Balrog recovers the Christmas presents that were stolen by Chaba, the cowardly Mimiga named Santa must sneak into every house and return the missing packages. Be the Mimiga Who Saves Christmas! ------------------------------- What is in the game: This is a short and sweet puzzle game about the Mimiga Santa and Balrog saving Christmas with a few optional levels and challenges. You have to avoid being detected while you return gifts and can find cookies as a bonus. ------------------------------- Thoughts: This is a fun little game, nothing spectacular, but if you like Cave Story, you will probably enjoy this. It's short and decently fun and has some nice art and music with a very simple story. ------------------------------- Mid PC Optimization: This should run fine on everything. ------------------------------- Time to Beat: ~1 Hour ------------------------------- Price: ☐ Buy it full ☐ Wait for sale ☐ Don't buy it ☑ Free It's free and short; there's nothing to lose from trying it. ------------------------------- Graphics: ☐ Amazing ☑ Good ☐ Average ☐ Bad ☐ Awful Nice pixel art that looks like Cave Story but still has a different style; it also has an optional CRT filter that looks nice, in my opinion. ------------------------------- Gameplay: ☐ Very Fun ☑ Fun ☐ Meh ☐ Bad ☐ Awful Nothing too deep, but not bad; you just avoid detection and hazards while you return gifts and find cookies. It has some optional levels you can do if you want to and achievements for little challenges you can do. ------------------------------- Music: ☐ Amazing ☑ Good ☐ Average ☐ Bad ☐ Terrible ☐ None I don't know why they went so hard with the music for this game; it's a lot like the main game's music and is really catchy. ------------------------------- Bugs: ☑ None that ive seen ☐ Not impactful ☐ Negatively affects gameplay Didn't see any. ------------------------------- Side-Notes: None.

This charming game offers some yuletide hijinks for all to enjoy. Every aspect of the game is simple and effective. The challenge to perform a run without being seen is a good time. The hybrid track of Carol of the Bells with the Cave Story theme is epic. Many objects in the levels have unique descriptions, which is a nice touch. The option to turn off the CRT filter is appreciated. There could have been more features added, such as improved control descriptions, a collectible counter, and some time trials. And for fans of the original game, there is unfortunately no new story content, aside from a big sack of references. Overall, this is a delightful little game. It's in the spirit of both the holiday season and its freeware source material. The game is recommended to anyone, especially to those who enjoy stealth games. [h3][i]Happy Holidays![/i][/h3]
I didn't enjoy this game that much. like its alright, i can see the appeal, but there wasn't a point where i was like "OH ♥♥♥♥ THIS IS FUN". also apparently the dev is a major ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ so that plus my fairly mid experience is why i'm down voting. if you're in it for the achievement hunt like me then sure, it's fairly easy, but expect to spend at least 6h on this.
Amei o joguinho, simples mas bem feito.
