This Christmas, put your mum in a game full of naughty elves, snowballs and far too many mince pies. Mums are impossible to buy for. “I don’t want anything, love.” Fine. She’s getting a game where she’s the star and you’re the one making a mess.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Christmas theme. Your mum dodges naughty elves and snowballs, grabs presents and mince pies, and the game finishes with a group hug ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.
