About the Game

Why the game is free
This was the first game we ever made, so we were inexperienced, but we’re still proud of what we created, despite its flaws. That’s why we decided to make the game free—so anyone who’s curious can give it a try.

We’re now called Professional Villains and have learned a lot since making this game. We hope you’ll check out our other titles, such as Security: The Horrible Nights, Anglerfish, or The ER: Patient Typhon. 😊

Get into the Christmas spirit with the world’s biggest goblin in a blast from the past, 2D arcade shoot 'em up. Fight evil pet pinetrees from Siberia. Air-battle on a deadly pooping Rudolf. Float around in space and much much more crazy stuff.

  • Play through the whole adventure locally with a friend

  • Unique weapons and power-ups (like shots that grow and shrink)

  • The Giant Goblin will comment on if he thinks you control him well or badly

  • Shoot an innocent bird just because you are a jerk

  • Don’t forget the deadly pooping reindeer

"If you’re after a festive, arcade shooter that truly challenges all that play, then look no future than The Night Christmas Ended. It’s cheaper than a selection box, it’s fun to play and it’s easy to get the hang of it, and its ludicrous characters, daft plot and foul language makes it a game that really has to be seen to be believed."
