Don't Kill Santa

A runner of  short proportions, with large consequences.

How to play

• Hold down H or O or the touchscreen to make Santa run. HO, HO, HO!
• Release the key or touchscreen to make Santa stop.
• Every run has a candy cane placed at a random distance from Santa's.
• Stop as close as you can to the candy cane without running into it!
  • If you run into it, you can guess what happens!
• The closer you get to the candy cane, the better, so try for your lowest score!

And remember...

Don't Kill Santa!

Why?

This game was made for the 12 Seconds of Christmas Game Jam. This is my second submission to this jam, and second game I've ever made.

Since my first game, Oh, balls, was made with Phaser, I wanted to do something very different with this one and so wrote this one in C using raylib. The game may very well be awful! But I learned a lot about raylib.

Any and all feedback or comments, good or bad, are always welcome!
