Pinch ol' Santa 2 is a small Christmas game made by SwordLord.

Pinch ol' Santa 2 is a small Christmas game made by SwordLord - the coding crew. It is Christmas Eve and the time is nearing 9 o' clock in the evening. There can only be seconds until Santa starts to deliver his parcels to the chimneys of your town.

Pinch Ol' Santa 2 is a good example of an easy Christmas-themed time waster, perfect for a short break during work.

You look through your window, out of your room at the roofs of a town somewhere in Switzerland. As you admire the lamps and the scenery in general, you see Santa. And there he is, running across that roof on the left of your window.

Looking at Santa you get an idea: Maybe if you pinch him now, he will lose a parcel or two which you then can take for yourself. You open the window and start to Pinch ol' Santa.

Licence.
Pinch ol' Santa 2 is released as PinchWare. See the ReadMe for further details.
