You will need this game to see Santa and the reindeer for real. I’m glad I can enter the holiday season knowing that Santa has my back and maybe I can shoot down the sleigh with a snowball. **Developer response:** Welcome to the believers' club! Santa's team is flying again in 9.1: switch on the camera to find the sleigh right where you are, and snap a photo for proof. Keep those snowballs flying, and happy holidays! — The 0cog team ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2011-12-04* Purchased the game and there is something wrong with it. The game does not work at all **Developer response:** Sorry the 2011 version let you down. 0santa has been rebuilt from the ground up for today's iPhones and iPads, and version 9.1 adds a camera mode to find Santa right where you are. If you still have it, please update and give it another try. — The 0cog team ### 5/5 — A fun spinning game! *2010-02-25* Keep turning in circles and keep Santa in your sites. See how long you can keep spinning. A fun competive game at parties! Give it a try and post how long you were able to keep aim on Santa. Remember to play in a safe area. ## Frequently asked questions about 0santa ### What is 0santa? 0santa is a Christmas-themed augmented reality game where players use their device to find Santa and throw snowballs at him to receive presents.
