Santa Run

Description of the Game: Santa Run

Santa Run is a winter themed adventure game that challenges the player to help Santa regain his lost gold as he runs through a winter wonderland terrain. The player must help Santa regain his gold and dodge obstacles all while racing against the clock. The racing terrain is obstacle dense, featuring snow patches, slippery surfaces, wandering penguins, and snowmen that Santa may encounter. He must shift his focus to sliding around them. Obstacles are playful, but the constantly increasing speed adds pressure, forcing Santa to make quick decisions. In the end, the game is about sliding gracefully around obstacles. It serves as a tribute to the sprightly holidays, with game mechanics that tie strongly into the holiday theme. The run is endless and must continue for as long as possible without crashing. Each obstacle is timed to challenge the player.

Gameplay Experience

Winning the game Santa Gold Run involves running the endless course while gathering coins and gold. Coins act as bonus game points and currency to spend on gold vitals for Santa, which must be purchased. Time is a critical factor in organizing movement and collecting gold and coins. Obstacles are timed to challenge the player, pushing them to collect as much gold and as many coins as possible before time runs out. Strategy is required to obtain higher value coins, as the layout of the lower area is revealed before obstacles, while higher tier gold appears in the center and earns the most points. The core gameplay focuses on maximizing the amount of gold collected within the available time. Victory is defined by collecting as much gold as possible during the run.
