In a other timeline than our, Santa Claus ๐ŸŽ… has a brother who wants two things : Being rich ๐Ÿ’ฐ and spreding sadness ๐Ÿ˜ญ in the kingdom. To accomplish his dream, the brother manage to become the King ๐Ÿ‘‘.
As king, he decides to create an annual tax on December to make people sad when Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ is coming... He called it : The Christmas Tax ๐Ÿ’ธ.
Santa, at the other end of his brother, would make people happy ๐Ÿ˜„ but the tax doesn't help in his work ๐ŸŽ !

*Hope you have liked the Mario style description*



What if Santa Claus must pay taxes ?


Christmas Tax is a runner game. Collect coins to get money and give as many gifts as possible at the end of the run.

Coin | Value
--- | ---
Copper | 5 coins
Silver | 25 coins
Gold | 100 coins

You will play Santa Claus. Santa runs automatically toward the right of the screen. Your can only jump or slide.

Action | Keyboard | Arrows | Mouse
--- | --- | --- | ---
Jump | W | Up | Left click
Slide | S | Down | Right click


At the end, the Santa Claus' brother will apply the tax to your total earned. The more you are rich, the higher tax is.

From | to | Tax
--- | --- | ---
0$ | 1000$ | 5%
1000$ | 2000$ | 6%
2000$ | 3000$ | 8%
3000$ | 4000$ | 10%
4000$ | 5000$ | 12%
5000$ | 6000$ | 25%
6000$ | | 50%

After 6000$, the tax will increase by 1% every 100$ earned *(so at 6100$, tax is 51%; at 6200$, tax is 52%...ect)*.
Also, care at walls and at holes. Hitting a wall, make you lose 10$ and falling into a hole, 250$.

That's my first game jam, I find that was really fun to do and I hope I will be here for the next jam.
Hope you will enjoy playing my game.
*Protip : The maximum gifts you can offer is 81. Good luck*

Really well executed runner platformer. Lovely graphics and interesting alternate paths to take.

Would have loved a christmasy soundtrack or some Santa sound effects though.
