Santa finds a new platform

Fresh from resurrecting Mini-Combat - a free, Flash-based, turn-based, online strategy 'em up - last month, CDV has announced another free game for its adoring public, and this time it's festive.

Santa Claus is coming to town, but he seems to have run into a spot of bother, so you have to guide everybody's big-bearded chum through ten fiendish levels of 3D platforming, trying to return the plump one and all his gifts to the sleigh and his faithful reindeer.

What's more, in-keeping with CDV's previous efforts, gamers will be able to upload their best scores to www.cdvspiel.de to compete for the real Santa's attention. Probably. Helpfully, that's also the place to go if you want to get hold of the 10MB game. Mush!
