Plot[]
Santa was out on his sleigh heading out to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls for Christmas when he was suddenly shot out of the sky by a giant snowball. As he was recovering from the attack, Santa noticed his old enemies, the greedy trouble-making Evil Elves, running off with the last of his presents to stow away in their evil toy store. Now it's up to Santa to break into the store and take back every present before Christmas comes to save the holiday!
Gameplay[]
Evil Elves II contains six levels that you'll have to play through all in one go to win. Each level contains several rooms full of enemies, presents, and sometimes pick-ups. To win a level, you have to collect every present in the level, and then make your way to the sleigh at the end of the level before you run out of time. You also need to avoid the enemies in order to keep from getting hit and losing health, although most enemies can be defeated by throwing snowballs at them (but be wary - your snowball supply is limited!). If you run out of health or time, the game is lost.
