Christmas Toysis a cute reaction game where you tap on the presents as they fall to collect them. Santa’s sleigh seems to be leaking presents so you have to catch them. The game is easy to play, seasonal, fun and tests your fast reactions. The game features sharp graphics and gameplay that will suit children and adults alike.
Price: Free
Tested on: Nexus 4
Content Rating: Everyone
Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Crisp graphics!
- Simple gameplay!
Cons
- Repetitive.
- In-game ads are more ‘Low Maturity’ than ‘Everyone’ rating.
Features:
Christmas is nearly here and it would seem Santa’s sleigh is losing presents fast! Simply tap on the various gifts as they fall from the sky to collect them, some need more than one tap and looks out for special items which help build a jigsaw on each level. There are 20 levels to complete and several in-game characters.
The in-game graphics are remarkably sharp and very well designed. There is a nice variety in the items but when they break down it’s essentially traditional Christmas candies and gingerbread. The gameplay is responsive and it is a nice game for kids to play. The levels get progressively harder as gifts drop faster and you have less time to collect them. This backed up by a cute keyboard soundtrack and quaint effects as you play.
The game is extremely easy to play, but it will test your reactions as you progress. Unfortunately it does feel somewhat repetitious after a few levels and, while there are characters to see and jigsaws to complete, the gameplay severely lacks variety. While this is perhaps OK for small kids, adults are likely to bore easily. The game is listed as suitable for ‘Everybody’ but I noted that many of the in-game ads (full screen pop-ups no less) are of the more mature kind. For most users this is probably fine, but it’s perhaps too in-your-face for smaller kiddies.

Fun Factor:
In short bursts the game is fun to play and mildly engaging. On each level you collect parts of a toy to complete a jigsaw. Once this is completed the level ends. While it does get repetitive, it still feels rewarding when you finish a toy.
Addictive:
Once you get through a couple of stages, the game does have that ‘one-more-level’ factor. I wouldn’t call it particularly addictive for adults, but it will perhaps engage the kids for short periods.
Graphics:
The 2D graphics are remarkably smooth and very sharp. There is plenty of details and the whole experience is very crisp.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
The sound is keyboard- style so not particularly detailed and it plays a Jingle Bells tune as you play.
