Help Santa!!

Read full description

Oh no! Santa's wrapping machines are broken. All presents are flying everywhere and you have to help to make sure they get to the right place quickly. But... Just your speed is not enough. This fun game contains powerups you can earn or buy. With the Helping Hands, Quick Fix, Extra Time and Double Dunk, you can sort the presents faster and easier. And that's needed, because you have to complete your assignment in time. Finally. Watch out for the candy crush. It might cause you to have to start all over again. The levels start off easy and get harder as you go along. As the game progresses, it takes more speed, agility, powerups and patience to finish... For the youngest players, it is possible to switch off the race against time. Enjoy the game!
