App Description

El Grincho doesn't like Christmas and he doesn't want anyone else to enjoy it either. He has gone on a rampage and stolen all the presents. It is the night before Christmas and you must catch and save as many presents as you can. Use the chimneys to return the presents back to the sleigh. Be careful though! The sleigh has been left on autopilot but it is not working very well so try not to miss the sleigh. That is not all you need to look out for - El Grincho has booby-trapped some presents with bombs. Avoid these or they will explode and melt you away to digital heaven and you only have three lives.
You can carry and return up to 5 presents at once but be careful not to lose these from a booby-trapped present or miss the sleigh. Be warned its harder than you might think! A great Christmas app!
