Pixel Christmas
As you get older, time goes by faster, and pretty soon it will be the holiday season once again and it won't be weird to play games like Pixel Christmas.

Shopping for presents can be a very stressful and challenging ordeal, but someone has to go out and do it, and then make sure that those gifts get organized and delivered. Looks like it's up to you to get things sorted.
About Pixel Christmas
The pixel nature of the holidays can be viewed in many games, but that's just to have a certain kind of visual style. Pixel art tends to be quite colorful and this game tries to show it off the same way. Many gifts are bright and vibrant, but they're all in different formations that need to be arranged in just the right way. If you don't, then you'll be left with a bunch of disorganized gifts that won't be getting anywhere anytime soon. You may not be Santa, by the jolly man needs your help for these gift-packed days to spread the season of giving.
How to Play
Pixel Christmas is a 2D puzzle game about sorting presents in a Tetris kind of fashion using only the keyboard.
Controls
- Up Arrow - Rotate Gifts
- Down Arrow - Accelerate Descent
- Left Arrow - Move Left
- Right Arrow - Move Right
The goal is to keep the gifts falling and make sure that there's always space for the gifts to fall into and get sorted. Your score and coming gifts will be tracked on the right side of the screen. If the space fills to the top with gifts, you'll fail and you'll need to try again.
When you start, you'll have a space with Santa overseeing at the top of it. As time goes on, he'll start dropping gifts into the space that will be in various formations. You need to move these gift pieces around and slot them into the open areas of the space. When you create a full horizontal line of gifts, the gifts in it will vanish and all the gifts above it will fall into place. Though the gifts will be different colors, they don't need to be matched to form lines with each other.
Tips and Tricks
This is a game where you're going for a personal best and trying to last as long as you can. The gifts fall quite slowly so you'll have plenty of time to move them around and make decisions. Always aim to make structures with all the gifts fitted into each other and then use line gifts to knock out several gift lines at once.
