Santa Run

Santa Run is a small game which I developed for my son to play during the upcoming holidays. I wanted to make something before holidays so that's why I was using pre-made assets.

In essence, it is an endless randomly generated platforming runner.  Platforms' horizontal position is completely random so it can and sometimes will create gaps impossible to jump. Don't sweat it, just try again!

Controls:

  • W or UP ARROW - jump
  • SPACE or RIGHT ARROW - slide-kick

A couple of notes:

  • Collect wrapped presents to complete a level.
  • You can use double-jump (jump again mid-air, while falling) to traverse greater gaps between the platforms. Use it wisely!
  • If you don't kick a Snowman, it will trip you over and damage you.
  • Same for crates, break them or you'll trip over them.
  • Crates can give you: crystal (common), present (sometimes) or extra life (rare). They can also be empty sometimes.
  • Collect 3 crystals to earn one health heart.
  • Doubling your health (from 3 to 6 hearts) gives you an extra life!
  • Completing a level also gives you an extra life!
  • Touching water kills you instantly!
  • Standing still for more than 2 seconds in the cold will hurt you!

Enjoy!

Good, concept.  I would allow the player to cancel the slide mid way.  other then that good game!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think about it :)
