In a other timeline than our, Santa Claus :santa: has a brother who wants two things : Being rich :moneybag: and spreding sadness :sob: in the kingdom. To accomplish his dream, the brother manage to become the King :crown:.
As king, he decides to create an annual tax on December to make people sad when Christmas :christmas_tree: is coming... He called it : The Christmas Tax :money_with_wings:.
Santa, at the other end of his brother, would make people happy :smile: but the tax doesn't help in his work :gift: !

*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.
