Santa’s Sack is on sale for free – normally $.99
Normally I don’t bother announcing that an app’s on sale unless it’s really good, but I feel compelled to announce this one in case you come across it when it actually costs money! Santa’s Sack has the potential to be a good game with its nice graphics and all, but there’s not a lot of good stuff to say about the gameplay.
The object of the game is to catch all the falling presents in Santa’s big sack, and to do this you have to tilt your iPhone left and right. Sounds fine, but the way Santa slides around just seems too buggy to make this a fun, playable game. Sometimes he’s very slow to respond, sometimes he doesn’t respond at all, and I found the whole thing to be pretty frustrating. Yes, I restarted my iPhone, and that seemed to help a little but I still wasn’t impressed.
Luckily this game is free so there’s no harm in trying it. If you do give it a shot, come back and lemme know if it’s as bad as I think it is or if I’m just an idiot!

Santa's big green sack isn't very good at sliding around on the snow

So I read your review and and I almost didn’t bother to download the game. But I was bored so I thought I’d give it a go anyway … And I’m so glad I did! This game is really fun … Me and my sister both love it! It works great on my iPhone and on her iPod touch. I guess you understood when you wrote about the game that some of the things you catch make you slow down some make you change direction … I guess if you didn’t understand that you might think thecgame was buggy. Anyway we think it’s great even my dad plays it but hesnot so good as me yet. Get santa’s sack it’s great!
