- Basic rules
- Santa automatically moves forward.
- Attack the approaching enemies (snowmen, evil elves, mutant reindeer, etc.) in one of two ways:
- Hit them with the sack. This will cause you to stop walking.
- Fire coal at them. This is a ranged move that you can do while walking.
- Alternately, you can avoid your foes by jumping over them.
- Collect as many gifts as you can.
- Lives
- You start the game with 3 lives. These are represented by Santa heads on the top left corner.
- Each time an enemy touches you, you lose a life.
- The game ends when you lose all your lives.
- Scoring
- You earn points by collecting gifts. Each gift is worth 5 points.
- Each time you collect gifts, there is a short delay before they manifest on your scoreboard.
- Hints
- Strategically, it makes better sense to just constantly shoot coal at your enemies than to jump or hit them with the sack.
- It’s also better strategy to collect low-lying gifts than risk getting attacked by jumping.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who celebrate Christmas or like simple running games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
