Loved this. Annoying as hell when you just miss one but so satisfying when you get them all. Great fluid movement,sound and christmas music. Hard to control for people who prefer down to be up in flight games but you get used to it. Top game... :)
I love the concept of piloting Santa's sleigh. The animations and movement feel perfect and the way the music responds to the game play is a very nice touch!
Thanks for your kind comments! Having the right feel of control and response was a high priority for me. I spent half the development time getting it to a satisfactory stage, including a major rewrite of the movement code, and adding a bit of secondary motion to the (originally stationary and stiff) bag of toys on the sleigh. The second half of the time was spent figuring out how to make 7 minutes of star collection less monotonous, and I hit upon the idea of varying musical tempo and environmental speed. Glad to know all the effort is being appreciated! ^^

Thanks for enjoying the game and making a video playthrough; I'm pleasantly surprised and very honored ^^;
Good suggestion for a invert-Y control option too, I totally did not think about that one! Exp++
