Merry holidays and happy advent! The PICO-8 Advent calendar continues, and today's game is Santa Panic!

Santa has lost his personalised wish list! Oh deer! Can you help him choose gifts for each person, and try to create as much joy as possible?

Select which gift you want to go next using the arrow keys. You can release early (once you see a house) with Z - that'll give you a little bit more time to make the next decision.

How much joy can you achieve on Perennial Street? My highscore is 13!

Not to be confused with Santa Panic (PICO-8 Advent 2018). =) https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=32312

oh wow, I ... could have checked that :S

good name though ;)

:) A couple of other Panics this year too: Polar Panic and Christmas Present Panic.

I like the art in this one. Straightforward gameplay, it's surprisingly difficult to give people gifts they like, just like in real life!

nice. i enjoyed this.
