Comments:
I wanted to play a Christmas-themed game during Christmas week, and this one came up as an option. I expected it to be more of a platform game, but I was surprised by the puzzles. I saw some comments saying that the puzzles are not intuitive. I would say that they are not obvious. Overall, I enjoyed solving the game's challenges, and there were a few that I ended up consulting: The challenge of applying slime on the ski; I was doing it right, I just had to knock the snow over the dog first. In the ice cave, I had to shoot the stalactites to make them fall. In the water cave, I had to jump over another stalactite. In other words, everything involved looking up to shoot something. Other things I ended up consulting were about jumping with the propeller on top of the mayor's house on the beach. I had tried that and it didn't work, I saw a video that it worked, I tried again and it did. Later I realized that this was irregular, sometimes it worked, and other times it didn't, that is, I had to keep trying. I also learned that I had to climb the wall at the back of the dump to access the last area. I had even thrown slime at the cameras, but I didn't remember that wall after I got the claws. I think there might have been a sign or some other signal indicating that it was another area, or a gate. But anyway, I could have deduced it. As for the rest, I completed all the challenges on my own and I was even thinking that I needed to complete everything to finish it, I didn't realize that Any% was shorter than I thought. In the end, since I was already completing all the challenges, I ended up going after all the boxes to get 100%. It's a style of game that I like, exploration with puzzles, so I liked it and it caught my attention. However, I think the puzzle aspect was better than the platform one. The character control is bad, kind of stiff, it took me a while to get used to do the jumps on the pipes, and the camera is your enemy in this game, it's very inefficient and requires you to keep adjusting it before some jumps... although the game doesn't have that many critical jumps, there are only a few moments that will irritate you. Aiming is another problem, so good luck with the challenge of hitting all 10 crows. I felt a Crash Bandicoot vibe in the game at times. The presents looked like boxes, the eggs looked like fruit, the attack of jumping over enemies, the weapon looking like a bazooka, different stages like the submarine and the motorcycle, a song in the beach stage, and even the beach challenge of jumping over several boxes... but what Crash is good at in platforming, Grinch is good at puzzles. The gadgets are interesting and give the game a new mechanic. It's nice to control the jetpack once you get used to it. The aquatic world was a pleasant surprise towards the end of the game, when you thought there wouldn't be anything else very different to be presented. Controlling the submarine can be tricky, but you get used to it. The chase after Santa Claus was a good ending, although controlling that sleigh is horrible. And the motorcycle race was a good bonus for the 100%. I had some problems recording, the game crashed twice, having to replay the gameplay for half an hour, another time it interrupted the recording due to insufficient disk space, and finally I had problems accessing the last world, which made me have to look for another copy of the game, but in the end, these were stresses unrelated to the game itself. For those who like puzzles and hunting for items in open levels, this is a good game. 4 stars.

First ten seconds of this were intense

[@lsp8434]

I don't know why but the part 2:02:00 in is both painful and hilarious and strangely impossible to stop watching

[@retrorun]

It was painful those jumps 😂
