• Game Play
  • Basics
    • Collect all the presents on each stage to unlock Santa’s sleigh and make it to the sleigh before the 3 minute timer runs out.
    • Stomp green goblins & avoid other enemies. From level 4 onward you are required to defeat the green goblins as many of them are carrying presents you need to unlock the sleigh.
    • Collect all 5 S-A-N-T-A letters to unlock a bonus round at the end of each stage.
  • Levels
    • This game has 7 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over.
      • Levels give you 3 minutes to beat them.
        • Early levels can be beaten in about a half a minute, while the later levels can require a bit more time to beat.
        • Each level has a different layout, with later levels requiring more precisely timed jumps.
        • Grabbing all 5 letters on the fifth level is quite hard as you have to make a lot of precision jumps near the top of the screen.
        • On the seventh and final level you walk right to the end of the level & then come back across the top of the screen (with much of the walk offscreen / out-of-screen high) to come back to the sleigh.
      • Most levels have platforms which move in a regular pattern you can time.
        • When jumping while on a platform it is best to jump while the platform is headed the same direction you are.
        • If a platform is also changing its vertical position, it is better to jump while it is moving downward rather than upward to give yourself more time to land your jump.
        • Some platforms have arrows on either end of them & move left or right based on what edge of the platform you are standing on.
    • Dying
      • If the level timer reaches zero you die.
      • If you fall off platform you die.
      • If you hit spikes or run into enemies twice you die.
        • The spikes have a dark color which blends into the site design, making it easy to accidentally run into them.
      • If you die twice it is game over & you start back at the first level.
      • You can jump on top of the green goblins & must do so starting from level 4 onward, as many of the presents are only accessed by defeating a goblin which stole them.
        • Generally it is best to jump or fall onto green goblins while they are moving toward you rather than away from you.
        • Other enemies can’t be beaten & must be avoided.
    • Winning
      • You beat a level by making it to Santa’s sleigh after collecting all 5 presents.
        • The sleigh will only appear after all presents have been collected.
        • Starting from level 4 onward you should defeat all the green goblins as some of them are holding hidden presents.
      • You can unlock the bonus round associated with a level by collecting the S-A-N-T-A letters, though are not required to collect them to beat the regular stages.
  • Special levels
    • This game has 7 special bonus levels.
      • Each bonus level is unlocked by collecting the letters to spell out S-A-N-T-A in the corresponding level of the game.
      • Once a bonus level has been unlocked once it remains unlocked, even if you start the game over.
      • You can play bonus levels after each stage of the game during regular play, or you can practice any of them individually from the Special levels menu.
    • Diamond Rain – move left and right to capture falling diamonds.
    • Santa Runner – horizontal runner where you control your jump timing to collect as many diamonds as you can.
    • Memory Game – memory flashcard matching game. This game shows a brief preview before turning the cards over & you have 1:30 to make 12 pairs from the 24 cards. If you clear the board you are given a second or third deal until the timer runs out.
    • Climbing to the Diamonds – move left or right rapidly while climbing upward, collecting as many diamonds as you can along your way.
    • Gift throwing – charge up your gift throwing to the correct strength and throw as many presents into the chimney as you can.
    • Drop the gifts – time when to tap to drop gifts down the chimneys below. Some houses have chimneys on the near or far side, requiring different timing to hit.
    • Brick out – a low fidelity remake of the Pong-like brick breaking arcade game.
• Target Audience
