This game is definitely a hidden gem. I've got the first two games on my pc too but i really like this remastered version. The graphics are really good, the sound is so charming and the platforming it's solid. I'd recommend this game to anyone wanting to play a fun and relaxing Christmas platformer!
If I die to a penguin or a bird again. Im gonna take a snowball and shove it up my throat until I start puking ice. One thing I have to add about this beautiful game is that hammer seem to hit me wherever I am. Ruined my Christmas vibes. Thanks developers :)
