I haven't seen a game like this before. The unique goal of resupplying the elf while also leading the horde of children to the elf lead to a very thoughtful gameplay experience! I would say I might have had more fun if Santa was a little faster but still great idea nonetheless!

I like the idea :) a lot.
The trees are annoying thou. Good luck !
I like it, the idea of controlling two characters at once is very cool and it works quite well.
At first I thought it was elven bandits trying to kill Santa! I was running around for a minute when I realized they were just children! I then finally realized I should read the instructions and deliver presents with the elf!
I love your Santa + Elf design, they're very solid looking pixel art! Good job! Also, props on polishing it to have a menu and getting the whole High-Score system also put in there!
I like the concept of this game. Definitely quite creative, and fun to play.
At first I thought wow this is way too hard; since the santa moves slightly faster than the elf, and the kids move slightly faster than the santa (?).
Then I tried to instead move the santa to the elf, and sometimes make big U moves and got 17 points.
Took me a bit of time to scroll down on the screen, maybe info about the control scheme on the front screen? I assumed that it was that we have to deliver to elves and avoid the children.
It's pretty good, I'm happy with the score I got, I feel maybe swapping the control schemes for santa and the elf would be a good idea? It feels that the "weak santa" is more nimble than the elf, though he's very slow.
