the presents don't show up but they are still there

Sorry but I see no need for this hack, @m0zdoesstuff.

Please either write your own code or introduce much-desired and improved programming and design or cosmetic hacks that show strong artistic or musical ability.

Original game, "UFO Santa Candy Blaster" by @TheTomster found HERE:

Remixes are welcome as long as you follow the CC license (part of that is that your post should also have the "CC license" box checked though :P)

The UFO sprite and upgrade icons are pretty good! Reminds me of Kill Bill or that Christmas DLC for Viscery Cleanup Detail. You should incorporate the spike balls somehow (sprite 56). I ran out of time to code them up before release.

To fix the present glitch, maybe the commented source at https://gist.github.com/TheTomster/d0bda50de04547c21541715f8b5ac3df would help? I had to remove all comments to fit into the compression limit in the exported cart.
