Santa’s Troubles (2023, LC-Games)

Another game for Christmas has been arrived this year on Commodore 64 which is a good looking and exciting platformer. In this game the gifts from Santa’s Workshop had been stolen and you need to help in order to recover all of them until its too late.

At the beginning of each stage (except for the Expert difficulty level) Santa Claus will have a magical power at his disposal capable of temporarily stunning the enemies, but be careful that this power can only be used once.

Scattered throughout the multi-storey building, you must collect the gifts to the starting point, the fireplace, while the hostile little elves wander back and forth trying to get in the way. An additional difficulty is that Santa can only carry one of the huge parcels at a time, which slows down his movement. In addition to the stairs, there are also openings and lifts on the floor to help you move between levels, and it’s always a good idea to choose the safest one, depending on the position of the elves.
