Very coherent aesthetic. Good difficulty curve, I see how you had only whites on the first wave.

Using ^ and v to rotate Santa to aim is very awkward to use. Maybe you intentionally avoided mouse aiming because that's too easy.

Switching colours controls could be improved. I suggest using a different key for each colour.

Thanks for the feedback! As you said, aiming with the mouse was a bit too easy. I feel like i should have put an aiming hint (like a red laser on a gun to show the direction). For the colors switching, good idea :)
