Thank you for this really fun game! I have two suggestions:

It would be nice if the enemies when stunned would also blink for a while when the stunning is about to end.

It also would be helpfull to see the rooms temperature so you know when the flames are about to lit. It now appears to be random.

For the first suggestion, I'll take it into consideration.

For the second, on the thermostat there is a thermometer that indicates the temperature of the room. The higher the thermometer is, the longer it will take before the fireplace turns on, so if you operate the thermostat when the temperature is low, the fireplace will turn on very soon.

Thank you. I didn't notice the room temperature meter on the thermostat. That's a great detail and just what I missed.

Wow, the game get's even better. Yes, it was a tad slow, actually, so thanks so much for your effort!!!

Good, I'm glad you like it.

Such a good game. It's a joy to play the new version. The speed increase makes such a difference. The only thing I miss is more xmas music jams. Now is same tune on every level.

I'm really pleased you appreciate the improvement!

Regarding music, unfortunately the musical part of games isn't really my strong point, so be happy with what I've done.

Loving the new speed. Great improvement to this awesome game. Thank you. 

I'm glad you like it!

Heyho LC -games,

we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game โ€œSanta's Troubleโ€ in our very first issue.

Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

A new magazine dedicated to homebrew games? Great news!

I will certainly be happy to receive a digital copy, which I will obviously keep for myself.

You can send it to the email address found in any of my games, including Santa's Troubles.

Thank you!

You've got mail! :)

Awesome merging of some favourite C64 games like Bagman, Gumshoe, etc.. 
Been playing a version downloaded from CSDb for a while and really enjoying it.
So I've purchased it to show appreciation for a great game. :)

And your appreciation is truly... appreciated, in addition to the donation, of course.

Thank you!

As the tradition teach us, i've published a longplay on dec 25th :D

Extremely funny game, i'd say addictive, good learning curve! thanks!

Thank you very much for appreciating the game and for the video (which by the way I had already seen ๐Ÿ˜‰). Grazie!

Very good Christmas game, thank you. I also added it to my December's New Commodore 64 Games -video too.

Thank you so much for appreciating and for the video.

Great Stuff :)

Thanx for appreciating! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thank you for this - I enjoyed this one...

Very well done!!! Thank you ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey nice cover!

Very nice and fair Christmas game with great ideas and varied levels. Only the music could be a little more varied. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:36:40. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks so much as always!!! ๐Ÿ‘

Very nice and funny game!

Glad you appreciate it!

Top quality game. Bagman Xmas Edition!

I'm happy u like it!

Very nice, feels like an old arcade game :) The one-button solution works well for me.

Thanx for appreciating!

What a cool and cute game! Everything seems to move at a rather casual speed, but shaking of the enemies makes for plenty of action nevertheless. Fun feature to include magical powers - but I feel pressing a button to use them might actually be easier than pressing the fire button longer (or second button, anyone?).

I have to take into consideration real C64 owners who, for the most part, use single button joysticks. In fact tuahis commented "The one-button solution works well for me."

Anyway, thanx for appreciating the game.

... or a key like space or whatever.....
But maybe it's just a question of practice. And the game is definitively worth it!

I think it's just a matter of a little practice. I guess you'll get used to it soon.

Ok, now you have the option to press the space bar to activate a magical power (choose fire mode B).

Ha, muchas gracias!!!

Thanks Luca awesome game, grazie

It's a pleasure!

Good job! Its one of the best gift for Christmas, thanks for this.

Thank u as always!

Dude. Do you work at all? Where do you find the time? :-D

Unfortunately I have to work for a living, and to be honest I certainly don't spend all my free time programming. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Another masterpiece game by LC Games with full of classics reminder as Bagman, Kings Valley etc...

Un capolavoro, c'รจ tutto in questo gioco, Bagman, Kings Valley e tutti quelli che vengono in mente agli amanti dei platform classici, ottimo gameplay e l'idea delle botole per sfuggire ai criminali.

Grazie e lo giochero' (su real hardware) nonostante io non festeggi il natale.... :-)

Grazie Alex !!!

Ciao, buon divertimento e buon Natale a tutti!!!

Hello, have fun and merry Christmas everyone!!!
