Link Dump Holiday
December 24, 2008
On virtual housetops, gamers pause. Out jumps dear old Santa Claus, through the skies on his rocket sleigh, writing yellow messages along the way. Ho, Ho, Ho, throw a ball of snow. Ho, Ho, Ho, it's a link dump, you know? Games for the holidays, Click click click! Look through our list and take your pick.
Santa, Don't Miss: or Else! - Santa traded his old fashioned sleigh in for a souped-up rocket sled so that he can deliver his gifts at high speed. Help him chuck the presents down the chimneys in time, but watch out for Rudolph!
Where is 2009? - Help a little gnome-like Santa find the new year! More adorable than your average Chritmas card and only slightly longer, this tiny but clever point-and-click adventure was created by Mateusz Skutnik.
Santa vs. Jack Frost - Santa Claus and Jack Frost have come to battle. Once again, chuck presents through the sky, but this time at a moving target.
Ho Ho Ho Yellow Snow - Yes, it's just like the Bob Rivers song, you see it everywhere you go: Yellow Snow, yellow snow, yellow snow. Help Santa draw clever holiday pictures in the snow.
Match 8, the Hanukah Game - Hanukah began on Monday, so that means there are only 5 days left... or is that 5 nights? Better to save your adding skills, to keep the candles lit on this puzzling menorah.
Light Up Christmas Tree - There is no need to worry about your electric bill to string these lights. Use logic, trial and error to connect all the wires on the tree to light the bulbs and spread Christmas cheer.
Twilight Pixie Glide - Still want to light up more holiday bulbs? When launched by her pals into the wintry sky, this adorable young lady will float into light sockets and light up the night.
Warbears Adventures: An A.R. Xmas - If you didn't play the Warbears Christmas Adventure last season, now is the perfect time. Help the cute but surprisingly technologically-savvy bears survive a prank gone awry.
Snowline 2 - A line rider for the holidays. Help the pig-tailed sledder steer her way to the checkered flag, collecting all of the presents along the way.
Frostbite 2 - With new snowy puzzles and characters like running moose, this Nitrome game is sure to please. We reviewed this one last month, but now is an excellent time to try to collect those frosty treats.
Snow Fight - What could be better on a winter holiday than a good old-fashioned snowball fight? Snowballs are the perfect ammo in this 3rd person 3D shooter.
Polar Jump - Last but not least comes a relaxing game in which a large polar bear is daintily launched through the winter sky. This game, along with several others in today's Link Dump Holiday, comes from the vast collection of holiday-themed games at Miniclip. In case you didn't get your holiday fix with these games, or just want to find more holiday items that can be launched into the sky, check out their extensive list of Christmas Games.

I'm sad the only Hanukkah game in the link dump was a kids' math game. I would guess that means there just aren't many out there-- my people have let me down.
Awesome! A new war bears installment! I'm stuck finding the
red cube when Kla is in cyberspace
[Edit: That one isn't new, it's from last year. And you'll find a walkthrough for it on the review page for that game in case you're really stuck. :) -Jay]
Polar Jump is awesome - reminds me of some of the Orisinal games like Winterbells or Pocketful of Stars. Cute and fun!
Snow Line 2 was fun! I scored 7940!
That Christmas tree puzzle was easy. Fun, though.
Merry Christmas!
Did nitrome design that link dump?
A very Merry Christmas to all the JIGgers! Thanks for being such a merry lot in the last year, and Ho ho hos!
Light Up Christmas Tree is neat but not nearly as well executed.
Where is 2009 is cute ^ ^
The Lightup clone was fun. I didn't need to use trial and error at all, but my one gripe would be that I need a way to lock each light/wire.
