The game does load correctly and seems to have a very unique theme for the 2D platform game.
This game does seem to have a few bugs including:
When santa falls into the water without jumping he doesn't die or drown when he hits the bottom leaving the character and player trapped. Also when the character changes direction, the camera jolts causing a flash like effect which could cause people who are highly epileptic to have issues with the game - this means in terms of HCI, the game isn't as accessible one would like though this could be fixed by making the camera movements smoother. Additionally, the level appears to be incomplete as there is no apparent end or final area - it is just randomly 3 tiles floating above the abyss.
However, this game does have some good points such as;
The character does have an idle animation making the character seem more animate and realistic. Additionally, the character's run animation appears to be well timed with the character's speed as well making the character not seem unrealistic. The jump height is ideal for this map as all the areas are accessible and I do like how you can make your character dance whilst falling. I also like the addition of the status effect applied to the character whilst in the water which prevents them from jumping as high.
All in all it is a decent game though the lack of a clear end is a let down the rest of the game is relative well done for the limited time span to build it.
