There are several features in this update, that make Santa & Present accessible for a wider array of people: different languages and multiple platforms. Additionally, there is a highscore list now.
Up until new the game was only available for Windows PC. Now a version for android and browser were added. The android version includes a new input system which uses buttons instead of the PC keyboard keys. The browser version is currently just a copy of the PC version. Both platform builds will get additional changes in the future that will deal with their platform-specific problems.
The new localization system makes the game easier to play for more people. Currently, there are only two languages that can be chosen in the main menu: english and german. Those are the only two languages I am able to translate properly. But if someone of you feels like translating a couple of words into another language you can definitely contact me (or write that in the comments).
The last new addition is a highscore system, that saves your ten best runs. This highscore may be only a precursor for the final system which would be a global ranking list. I am currently looking into the free google API services. We will have to see whether this will develop into something usable or not.
