Hungry Santa App

Hungry Santa

Santa needs to pile on the pounds before Christmas. Move the device to position Santa in the right place so he can catch yummy treats in his mouth. Santa is not a fan of veggies, so beware of the broccoli. As he gobbles up holiday goodies, Santa gets fatter and fatter. Earn some fatty bonuses by bouncing treats off his jolly belly before he eats them, or eating buffets of treats all in a row. Keep an eye out for the “Crazy Chomp” bonus. This app is holiday hilarity to play or to watch.
