Overview
Description

In Daze Before Christmas you play as Santa, racing through a Christmas calendar of 24 distinct areas—from factories and workshops to caves—filled with bizarre enemies like penguins, jack‑in‑the‑boxes, helicopters, and snowmen. The holiday spirit is under threat as the Evil Snowman, the Timekeeper, Louse the Mouse, and Mr. Weather plot to ruin Christmas. Every five levels culminates in a boss showdown, forcing Santa to confront each villain and restore the festive plans stolen by the Timekeeper. The game blends platforming, action, fantasy, and comedy in a retro 1994 style, delivering a single‑player holiday quest that’s both challenging and humorous.

Koala Lumpur: Journey to the Edge is a tongue‑in‑cheek point‑and‑click adventure where you guide Zen Master Koala and his sidekick Dr. Dingo through four bizarre stages to reassemble a lost prophetic scroll and stop an apocalypse. The game blends quirky humor, surreal visuals, and clever puzzles, all wrapped in a retro 1997 aesthetic. The koala stores every collected item in his bottomless fez while the mouse cursor becomes a fly you must guide into Dr. Dingo’s brain at key moments, delivering a uniquely playful interaction style that keeps the laughs coming until the very last screen.
