Present Panic v1.0 (GBC Game)

This GBC game is probably rather old, but I never took notice of it and since I know almost every GBC PD and never seen this, here we go:

Image provided by: Supanova SoftwarePresent Panic is an original free game for Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Story:

Santa Claus is in trouble! The elves have gone on strike and spread all the presents for Christmas around Santa’s factory in the north pole. Santa must travel through eight areas of the North Pole manufacturing plant and recover all the presents in time for christmas day! Many obstacles will either hinder or assist you in your task. Packing crates can be pushed around to allow access to otherwise unreachable areas, conveyor belts can move your around the levels, ice cubes can melt at the worst possible moments, and mysterious switches can make parts of the level appear and disappear or conveyor belts switch directions.
