Santa's elves have been infected with a virus turning them into zombies! They've had enough of all the years of labour with no pay and no reward. Now the zombie elves want revenge. Santa's only resort is to give them an unending amount of presents.

Dead Giveaway is a game where the player has their typing abilities put to the test in wave based rounds of zombie hordes. Type each gift above a zombies head to launch a present at them. The faster you type the faster Santa creates and launches gifts at his undead elves.

This game was originally created in 48 hours for the Yogscast Game Jam 2019

nice but difficult game, i sometimes had the feeling that some of my keyboard keys didnt work, though that might be just me.
you will see me playing this game in the beginning of the Christmas special video on Bloodmoon Pictures on YT, i wont be home though so i cant link the video in the comments ^^'

Glad you enjoyed the game! It is quite difficult although we recently updated it to help with the difficulty curve. Before people could only get up to wave 3-4, now it should be far easier to get up to at least wave 7-8, we also polished the game a little more with some animations. Can't wait to see the video =D
