3. Xmas Dash by someone     Prize:
Liranuna: This miner-style game sure is tasty! Brings back a lot of good memory from games of the same style (Like supaplex). The rather poor graphics are a compromise for the great game play. A simple fine-tuning in the game speed (Like the falling rocks) and a good looking tileset will make this game complete. Great job!

8. IceRunner by freemaan     Prize: DSerial
Liranuna: Fairly made game. Santa is running too fast to acually be able to collect a reasonable amount of presents. Good sound effects and music, Nice eye-candy in game and menu. Submitting scores seems to hand here.
  • Graphics: 9
  • Sound: 8
  • Fun: 7
  • Overall: 7/10
duo: Very difficult for a left-handed person to play, since it assumes you're right-handed. But Kudos for the attempt at a 2.5D game.

9. Holiday Toss by someone     Prize:
Liranuna: The game requires DSMotion card to play which I don't have. Playing using the stylus seems buggy and the game will go into infinite loops a lot.
  • Graphics: 5
  • Sound: 2
  • Fun: 3
  • Overall: 2/10
duo: Graphics weren't so good, and the sound was annoying, but it was a lot of fun trying to kick an elf to a score of 672.

Heaven and Hell by someone
Liranuna: Game hangs on startup for 5 minutes and then running too fast to be played on. ReadMe isn't helpful and ingame help is also running too fast. Note to coder: Vblank is your friend.

Noel by someone
Liranuna: Impressive engine, Impressive gameplay. Add powerups, some basic AI (Enemies are standing still...) and some story (or a map on the touch screen), And this could have get a perfect score. Great job!

  • Fun: 8
  • Overall: 8/10

Santa Saves Xmas by someone
Liranuna: Game isn't challenging at all, Ammo runs out very fast and there are too many aliens. Maybe santa does need help :)

  • Overall: 10/10
duo: Projectile wars! :P Not a bad little quickie game. Music is pretty weak and there are no sfx to speak of. The Gameplay wasn't that good but could be made better.

Snow World by someone
Liranuna: Game seems to differ in speed in different areas of game. Intro is running too fast and game is running very slowly to be playable. The ingame help seem to also run in a fast framerate...

Storm the House by someone
Liranuna: A rather simple 'Duck hunt' style game driven from touchscreen. Instructions mentions powerups, but I didn't notice any of those available while I was playing.
  • Graphics: 6
  • Sound: 4
  • Fun: 2
  • Overall: 3/10
duo: This game has potential but the gameplay needs to be tweaked, as it starts off so slow that you get bored with it, and then it ramps up to very difficult in 2 rounds.
