Tips and tricks
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Because this is a Christmas game, seasonal games often have hidden bonuses in the decorations.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Christmas Challenge to players who like precision, quick targeting and progressively tougher waves. In terms of time, think of levels of a few minutes each, with longer runs in survival modes. The learning curve is approachable at first, with a steep climb in the later waves. It works on phones and tablets with touch controls, and on desktop with a mouse or keyboard.
