Elijah Saves Christmas

Santa is missing and the Naughty List Elf has put everyone on the Naughty List. Eleven levels, eight costumes, a sleigh to fly and presents to deliver before sunrise.

It's Christmas Eve, Santa has vanished, and the Naughty List Elf has written every name onto the Naughty List. Elijah has one night to deliver the presents himself and clear the list before the sun comes up.

Run, jump and throw snowballs through eleven levels: Maple Drive under snow, Santa's Toy Factory, the North Pole Grotto, a Sleigh Run across the rooftops, a hushed Living Room full of dozy parents, the Christmas Market, Rooftop Delivery, the Sugar Plum Ballroom, Krampus's Lair, the Home Stretch and Christmas Morning itself. A boss waits at the end of each: the Nutcracker King, the Yeti, the Rat King, Krampus and the Head Elf among them.

THE NAUGHTY LIST A needle on the screen swings from Naughty to Nice. Deliveries are nice. Throwing presents is naughty. Drop to the bottom and Krampus comes looking; reach the top and a friendly reindeer runs ahead to light the way. The ending depends on where the needle lands.

SNOWBALLS, PRESENTS AND COOKIES Scoop snow to make snowballs. Deliver presents through lit windows and chimneys. Throw a cookie to keep the Naughty List Elf busy while you get on with it.

DRESS UP TO POWER UP Eight costumes, each with its own trick: the Snowman shrugs off knocks and grips the ice, the Reindeer glides, the Nutcracker walks straight through the little baddies, the Elf throws quick homing snowballs, the Yeti climbs walls, and more. Costumes wear out, so grab the next box.

FLY THE SLEIGH, HIDE FROM MUM AND DAD Two levels take to the sky in Santa's sleigh: steer, dodge the elf squadron and drop presents down the chimneys from the air. One level is hide-and-seek: sneak past the parents, hide behind the sofas when they wake and look round, trick them with cookies, then creep past Dad's torch to the tree.

MADE FOR SMALL HANDS Three difficulty settings, from Scaredy-cat (gentle, no clock until the last morning) up. Falling down a hole sends you back to the last lamp, never to the start.

PLAY YOUR WAY Touch controls on iPhone and iPad, keyboard on Mac, or any Bluetooth game controller (Xbox, PlayStation, 8BitDo and the rest) with rumble.
