Santa Vs Skritch

Sports/Soccer

Play a festive game of what’s essentially an extraordinary version of 2D 1v1 soccer with Christmas presents instead of balls in the wildly entertaining Santa Vs Skritch! To make the gameplay even more thrilling, there’s an especially exciting 2-player mode in which you can test your skills against a human adversary (PC browser exclusive).

The selection of playable characters is quite hilarious. You can play as Santa, the green guy who stole Christmas, elves, and even what seems to be Santa’s wife. The choices aren’t merely aesthetical, as these dexterous soccer players also have special abilities that may come in quite handy. The matches last 90 seconds (2 x 45-second halftimes), and you’d be amazed at how many goals you can concede in such a short time!

How to play Santa Vs Skritch

In this game, you can forget about keeping a clean sheet, so in the tactical sense, you want to focus on scoring more goals than your opponent rather than conceding less. The goals are elevated off the ground level, and since you can only kick the ball (actually a Christmas gift) nigh horizontally, you won’t really be able to threaten the opponent’s net unless the character jumps first. Timely combining kicks and jumps is the key to victory.

What are the controls for Santa Vs Skritch?

You can play Santa Vs Skritch on both PC and mobile devices but the 2-player mode currently remains a PC browser exclusive.

Tap anywhere on the screen, use a virtual joystick and move the character around, and tap on the easily discerned buttons to kick the Christmas present into the opponent’s net or use the special ability.
