Are you ready to head out on a challenging Christmas-themed mission? If so the Christmas Santa app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone will provide you with just that as you give Santa a helping hand. In this game you are heading out on a quest as the big jolly man himself - Santa - and it’s up to you to collect gifts and avoid the monster who is trying to put an end to your efforts. Besides its fun theme the game also has smooth and simple game controls that allow you to focus on the task at hand.

Collect the Gifts and Earn Points

The goal in the Christmas Santa app is really simple: collect gifts and earn big points. Oh yes and be sure not to get caught by the monster. The more gifts you collect, the larger your life count will be. The app uses tilt controls that are responsive and simple and it also supports Game Center and Leaderboards. You can even engage in multi-player mode so you can face off against your family and friends. Kids and adults can play this one and it's a wonderful casual game that provides users with a fun and timely theme.

This is a brand-new release so there are no updates, customer comments, or a customer rating at this point. The game is free to play however it is supported by ads which you can remove through an in-app purchase.

The Gameplay Experience

When you launch the Christmas Santa app you’ll be able to choose between single player or multi-player mode. The way the game works is that you need to guide your Santa down a series of snow-covered platforms before he disappears off the top of the screen. You need to work really fast while looking ahead at the platforms coming. Just tilt your device from side to side to direct Santa. You can replay the levels and because this one is so challenging there’s a good chance you’ll need to replay them numerous times.

The music can be turned on or off but it does add to the theme of the game. When you finish you can share your score by Twitter or Facebook. One thing that I find frustrating is the amount of pop-up ads. If you plan to play this one on a regular basis you’ll definitely want to spend the money and remove the ads.
