Santa's Run app review

Santa’s Run

Price: $0.99

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later

Santa’s Run by Broken Thumbs Apps is an iOS app where you have to toss Christmas presents around the world.

You’ll have to help Santa get his aim on track during the off-season, since he’ll need perfect aim when Christmas rolls around. You can play this app all year, because you’ll need to help the big guy prep for next holiday season. You’ll enjoy the festive music, track scores, and artwork.

You’ll count down the days until Christmas is here as you track your achievements and high scores on Open Feint.

Your goal is to flick as many presents into chimneys as possible. Similar to Paper Toss, you’ll have to have good aim, otherwise some kids are going to be pretty upset and disappointed on Christmas Day.

Just touch the present, drag it, and release it towards a chimney to send it flinging into the air and towards your target. You can flick towards red (the furthest row), yellow (the middle row) and blue (the closest row). You’ll also have to deal with wind that will blow your gifts off-target.

The more presents you deliver with good aim, the higher you will score.

Santa’s Run was updated to Version 2.0 on October 19, 2012. The update made the app iOS 6 compatible. It’s available in English only and has 997 customer ratings with an average of 2.5 out of five stars.

This is an okay game and is one that kids will love to play. I like playing it while standing in line or waiting for meetings.
