New Content
Starter Mode In order to better get into the game, there is now a starter mode. In contrast to the classic mode, the checkpoints work differently and you have unlimited life. So if you're not so trained in the game, you'll lose less of your level progress if you make mistakes. Also the levels are a bit easier on starter mode. For some players the game was too frustrating. That shouldn't be a problem anymore! Steam Achievements There are Steam Achievements in the game now. So you can keep a good eye on your progress and compete with your friends. Some are really a challenge, so try it out ;) New ones will be added in the near future.
Improvements
Level Enhancements & Visual Improvements Based on feedback all levels have been revised to improve the overall playing experience. In addition, the design of e.g. caves has been reworked to make them look better. There are also a few general visual improvements in the UI and a few other things, like better looking snow particles.
Performance Improvements Engine update and some optimizations provide a better performance. Also there will be more improvements in the near future!

The end of Christmas season 2018
Hello Christmas Lovers,
Hopefully you have succeeded in saving Christmas this year!
We are now at the end of this year's season and hopefully you had a nice Christmas time! Almost a month has passed since release and a lot has happened. Based on received feedback, things have been changed to improve the overall playing experience. But it would be really nice to listen to more opinions! If you liked the game please let hear from you! You can best support the game by writing a review at Steam. If you are unhappy with the game, it would be great to talk to you about it in the Steam forum. Constructive criticism or suggestions are always welcome, because the game should be enjoyed by as many people as possible!
The main focus will be on improving the game experience until the next season. So the main priority is to bring the base of the game into a even better state to expand it even further in the near future.
It seems Santa will need your help more often in the next few years! ;-)
So in summary, please write a review at steam if you liked the game or report to Steam forum if there are things you don't like! Thanks a lot to those who enjoyed the game and Merry Christmas!
See you next Christmas time!

Hello Christmas Lovers,
With this update there is a significant improvement in performance! It is most noticeable in levels 7 and 8.

For this, new checkpoints were set at certain points and obstacles were adjusted!
And as always, there are a few bug fixes and other improvements.
And how far have you come yet? Saved Christmas already? ;)
