3D Santa Rescue is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. The core of it is zombie and 3d. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About 3D Santa Rescue
An evil hungry skeleton is attacking Santa’s reindeer. Help Old Saint Nick catch up to the skeleton. Choose the right number of steps between each interval to help Santa catch up and overtake the undead menace & rescue the reindeer. You can only take 8 steps at a time. The skeleton moves fast, so you should, too. Play through all 20 levels.
