Every field, every mall, every chimney – and every stolen present back from the Gringe's cave. Even the Gringe says sorry. The gifts are under the trees.
Fly Santa's sleigh and drop gifts into the targets – they are your main source of points. Drop a little early; dead centre = PERFECT and a bigger combo.
Level 1 · The Fields – mole holes
Level 2 · The Mall – the red drop zones by the trees
Level 3 · Christmas Eve – the chimneys
Level 4 · The Storm Road – no gifts here: chase the Gringe through the blizzard, dodge lightning, flying debris and the cloud / rock tunnel. Use your 🛡 shields, collect the blue shield orbs. At the cave entrance the storm spirit Blusterbeard blocks the way – your weapons work again: shoot him, dodge his ice shards and don't get pinned by his wind blasts
Level 5 · The Gringe's Cave – pop his loot sacks to free the stolen gifts; treasure chests = bonus
Each level runs in rounds: an enemy WAVE, then an ALL CLEAR – no enemies, lots of targets, time to deliver. Waves get tougher each round, and every level ends with a boss. After Krampus, someone steals all the presents – chase him! (Tap / any key skips a cutscene.)

★ Baubles & stars = weapons
Stars fly in inside a Christmas bauble of their colour – shoot the bauble to crack it, then fly into the star to grab it. You get one after every enemy wave. The same colour again powers the weapon up (max Lv3).

✨ Spirit & Mega bomb
Delivered gifts and glowing spirit wisps fill the Christmas Spirit meter. When it is full, fire the Mega Gift Bomb: a shower of gifts that hits every target below you.
❤️ Health & lives
Hits drain your health bar; you lose a life only when it runs out. Losing a life costs your helpers and one weapon level. Missed gifts can make the locals grumpy!
