What is Santa Claus in Trouble (HD)?
Santa Claus in Trouble (HD) is a 3D platforming game about recovering presents lost before Christmas Eve.
Players guide Santa through 20 levels arranged across five episodes, collecting packages while avoiding abysses and hostile creatures. The stages use physical obstacles and devices such as seesaws, slides, elevators, trampolines, and hammers.
