Christmas Bound is a simple but enjoyable game which combines arkanoid elements with puzzles. The objective of the game is to clear the blocks (presents) from the board with a bouncing tennis ball. However, it is not that simple as it seems. In order to eliminate the colored blocks, the tennis ball has to be of the same color, which is changed by bouncing the ball on the color switches located somewhere on the screen. But if you happen to touch one of the blocks with a danger sign (a skull), you will die and have to start the level all over again.
At each level there are a certain number of doors which lead to different rooms with different missions. For each room you pass, you get one star. In order to get to the next level, you need to get the number, indicated on the blue blocks with stars.
All the rooms have different power-ups and there are different creatures which help you accomplish your mission, but if touched, they can kill you. Some of the rooms are easy, but others require logical thinking to pass it.
The game has simple but nice graphics, music, and sound options. You can control music and sound volume, as well as the speed. It also offers saving capabilities indicating the percentage of completion of each game and the number of stars gotten so far. It includes 10 different games.
