Think delivering presents is an easy job? Well, think again!
Santa Claus races over billions of rooftops every year, delivering presents to all the boys, girls and adults in the world! And this is not a small feat, as he runs the risk to fall of these rooftops to a painful face first in the snow. Now, Santa is going to need your help this year. You see, his reindeers all caught the flu, and the only moving sleigh jumps up every few seconds! Santa wants YOU to control his sleigh's speed, and safely guide him over the rooftops!
How To Play
Santa's sleigh is enchanted and jumps up in the air every few seconds. Watch the jingle bells at the bottom of the screen for when this will happen!
You control the speed of Santa's sleigh! Press Left to slow down and Right to speed up. Remember, the faster you go, the farther you jump!
Well that was dumb. I can't even get past the second house. I expected when the bells chimed, they would actually chime. An audio cue would certainly help me to line up the jumps properly rather than looking at the bottom of the screen the whole time. And how are you supposed to speed up enough to make the jumps if you're constantly slowing down to wait for the next bell chime? The houses aren't long enough to afford you this timing. Nice job on the art though, I can see where the effort in this game went.
yeah.. this was too hard, probably if the jump would happen more often it would be easier, probably longer houses, i don't know.. it clearly needed more tuning and polishing. Graphics are great looking of course.
Poor santa, I crashed a lot! XD Great job on the graphics and mood. The gameplay could use a difficulty tweak, as others have pointed out. Overall though, well done!
As others pointed out the game is way to hard but your graphics are awesome and in theory I really like how you're using the bell to make up for the lack of a third jump button, you just have to work on the balancing.
Hard game. Not sure how to balance better though. I guess I'm just bad with timings... The graphics are nice, and the game seems polished enough for LD with a really well done mood (only missing a music). Overall a good entry :)
Very cool concept, and the graphical style was awesome! The mechanics were a little finicky, it took some time to get used to it, and it was still hard to get the timing right. But I still think it was a solid concept, having some audio cues would be great to make it easy to tell when the bells are about to chime.
There are pretty potential with this mechanics. if you could lower the difficulty a bit (it grows too quickly) and add more content like scores and music, i think this will be a very fun game.
Superb art, and gameplay-wise it's an interesting take on the runner genre, but -man- is it hard. Trying to line myself up for the next chime is next to impossible. Made it to the third roof, but no further than that. I'd love to see a version of this with more standard controls - it's got a really charming look to it.
Pretty tough controls, I couldn't get past the second house. The bells chiming could use a sound effect and music would be nice. The graphics were nice. Overall needs work on the difficulty.
Looks really nice! The idea is great too, but as so many said before, the difficulty is too high. Learning a pattern of jumping is ok, but you made it too hard too soon i guess.
