The Game

It's Christmas Eve and Santa is busy performing his seemingly endless yuletide task of delivering all his presents before Christmas Dawn.

During his journey the rooftops jumping the gaps as he does a number of thoughtful people have left Santa pieces of Christmas Cake, Plum Pudding and glasses of Sherry to keep him going through the long cold night.

As he eats the cake and pudding you will notice Santa's "Belly Bonus" increasing. It will increase twice as much for a piece of Plum Pudding as it will for a piece of cake. However, you will only receive this bonus if you manage to drink the glass of sherry. Any number of pieces of cake and pudding can appear during a screen and the glass of sherry will only appear after all the preceding pieces have been eaten.

To deliver your presents, position yourself at the base of a chimney and press Fire or Space to jump. If you are correctly positioned then the chimney will flash and your score increase by 50 points. If you haven't delivered presents to all the houses on a screen before leaving it any "Belly Bonus" you may have acquired will be lost.

After the first (Easy) screen is complete, you will encounter low flying Snowballs which must be avoided by jumping over them. These snowballs will get faster and more frequent as you proceed through the screens. The marauding snowmen will randomly appear on the rooftops and block your path. If you walk into him you will lose a life. Later in the game, the icicles at the top of the screen will begin to melt and fall. Again you must avoid these or be knocked off the roof.
