I love the concept of piloting Santa's sleigh. The animations and movement feel perfect and the way the music responds to the game play is a very nice touch!

Thanks for your kind comments! Having the right feel of control and response was a high priority for me. I spent half the development time getting it to a satisfactory stage, including a major rewrite of the movement code, and adding a bit of secondary motion to the (originally stationary and stiff) bag of toys on the sleigh. The second half of the time was spent figuring out how to make 7 minutes of star collection less monotonous, and I hit upon the idea of varying musical tempo and environmental speed. Glad to know all the effort is being appreciated! ^^
