Rules and Objective
The objective of the game is help Santa Claus to recover all the presents he lost. You must pick all
the presents in a level to move on to the next level, but be careful, there are a lot of enemies around!
Everytime you make 10.000 poins you earn an extra life, but only if you have two or less lives. Everytime
you quit the game, you score will be set to 0 and you will need to start over the score. But don't worry, there
enough extra life during the game.
If an enemy reach you, you will loose one life and you will need to start over.
When pressing Ctrl, you shoot a snowball. After a few snowballs shots, the enemy will turn into a snowball! Then you must touch the enemy and press Ctrl again to kick the enemy out of the screen, but kick before the ice melts.

You have three slots to save and load your game. By default, the game comes with the "Empty" in
place of the name. In your first time playing, click NEW to place your name and start a new game.

The save is automatic. When you move to the next level, the game automatically saves your progress.
