It’s small, it’s Christmas themed, and it’s only mildly diverting.

The readme says it only took 2 days to make. Well not including graphics I’m guessing. That’s the best thing in here… the graphics. Snow the world and cold pillbugs and a cold bonca. The new Christmas graphics aren’t bad, just very 2D.

Music: Arrggghhh… it’s a Christmas jingle, but then what do you expect

Sounds: Didn’t think there was anything new here.

Map: Small, well decorated, a couple of hardness glitches around some trees

Gameplay: The big let down. It’s very basic. Dink has to find his presents, each new NPC tells him where a present is.

Didn’t seem to have any bugs, but I stopped playing after being told to find a snow/ice flower for present 3.

Overall: 6.5 out of 10. Not much to it despite all the new graphics.
