About this game
A top-down arena shooter where you play a mercenary fighting against the legions of Santa. Santa has gone ROGUE. He is not paying the Elves, contributing to global warming, and using sweatshops to produce extra presents to save on costs. You have been hired by the United Nations to fight his legions, because they are afraid of a PR nightmare.
This is a very classic Arcade game. Simple controls, instant action, short play sessions, and a leaderboard for the global Top 10. Slay Santa's minions while enjoying some smooth Jazz.
There are three types of soldiers in the legions of Santa. Elves, Reindeer, and Mall Santas.

Patch NotesOfficial
Christmas in June
Hokay, so, here's the patch. The game will not crash at higher levels now. The leaderboard saves your score & rank, however, your name will not continue to display in the input field. You are able to change it if you like. A request has been made for mini-bosses and other content. We will see those additions as we get closer to the month that Santa is strongest!
