Hark the herald angels sing,
Games to play are just the thing,
Christmas cheer to end all evils,
For a village full of devils,
Scrolling sideways with great sound,
And music playing all around,
Hark the herald angels sing,
Angel gift for download ding.

Less poetically, but probably more helpfully, Angel Gift is the name of a new, festive and incredibly richly textured audio side scroller created by Robjoy under his new banner Erionsoft. The name "rojoy" should already be ringing bells to any old hands at gaming, sinse many years ago he was a member of Lighttech interactive responsable for such games as Light locator and Light cars, and more recently has been involve with Dragonflame.

Those who have long memories might remember the angel gift teaser posted some while ago. Well it's taken a little longer than expected, but now the angel has definitely landed!

Take control of Lyriel, the weakest angel in heaven as she attempts to bring christmas cheer and the positive spirit to a vilage full of winter cold, in probably the most richly detailed audio game ever. An epic soundtrack, high quality voice acting and an interactive tutorial make the game a full scale cinematic experience, whether fighting demons or spreading Joy peace and love.
Any comments or questions feel free to use Yonder thread

While Angel gift is (as the title says), entirely free, anyone who likes the game might want to visit Robjoy's homepage and leave a less heavenly gift of their own in the form of a donation.

And a happy new Angel to everyone!

Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be

Hmmm johnabreu
, I just tried the above link and it worked fine. I wonder if it was a miner server glitch or an issue at your end? It is a direct download link to download the setup file copied from the Angel gift topic in new releases.

Hi how to defeet the boss in this game?

2015-01-16 13:19:33

Hello,
You can't just attack the boss. You have to experiment a bit, but you can use your gifts to defeat him. The control key works at certain points during the battle. To say anymore would spoil it.

can't hear what it tells you to do after you float up to the first house. wish you could turn down music. sad

Hmmm, are you playing on headphones? I didn't have that issue myself, but I'd imagine it's a problem if your on speakers, but as the game is very sterrio you probably don't want to be playing on speakers.

Either way what you need to do when it says to land on the house is float up until you hear the first bing, then hit right or left arrow just the once and let go. If you hold it you'll slide along the roof and not land, just hit it, let go and you'll hear your foot strike the wooden roof and can then get on with giving gifts to the family inside.

Hth.
