Plum Duff

STORY: One day in the year you had to have one over the eight. Santa Claus is tipsy and all the presents have been wrongly delivered. So by landing your sleigh on a roof it's back down the chimneys, taking care not to wake any of the little kids wandering around. Find the presents, pick them up by pressing the fire button and put them in the right stockings. Of course there is the added bonus of all the mince pies you can scoff and the extra wine you can drink. But beware, some people have no sense of occasion and the man-eating plants they have bought for their Mother's-In-Law may find you their first Christmas pudding! It's up to you to make sure the 32 kids in this particular street don't wake up to a Christmas that is nothing more than.....Plum Duff!

What makes the game even more difficult is the random placement of the enemies in the reindeer sled scene. You can't identify a house by only the placement of the enemies, so you shall know where you are based on the color of the house and the position of the chimney and antenna, and in the first place, it can be difficult to even get into the chimney while dodging enemies by improvising.

Each house consists of three rooms on the first floor: the room to the left (your starting point is here), the room to the right, and the second floor. There are two things to do: put a correct gift (brought from the other houses) in the socks and collect a gift (which should be delivered to the other houses). To do this, you'll have to climb the tree, the post clock, and proceed grabbing ceiling Christmas ornaments. Most of the objects on the screen are available for some use. Every time you collide with a harmful plant or inhabitant, you lose "1" HP. The behavior of the inhabitants is completely random and you don't know even when they will turn around. Moreover, they sleep in bed and wake up. It's all at the whim of each person, or in other words, random. To make matters worse, each person can move from one room to another. If you move to the edge of the screen to get to the next room, you' may bump into each other.

Only 1 try, no continues, your HP is "6", and no means of healing your HP exists.
I'll say it again. There are no healing items.
No kidding! Do you know how long it will take to redistribute gifts correctly to all 32 houses?

Therefore...
Figuring out "what each house wants" is the minimum requirement, so I'll summarize them here.
