For this game, we took inspiration from Crazy Taxi for the gameplay loop, with some Half-Life and Quake type of movement into it.

As for the Christmas flavored theme, in this game, the night of Christmas is here, and the presents will not be delivered on time in the city if nobody helps out Santa.

That's where you come : you play as Candy Kane, one of the best elves gift deliverers out there... 

You are hired to deliver as many gifts as possible : while Santa drops gifts from the skies into the city, you will need to quickly find those gifts (blue beacon), and deliver them to the marked chimneys (red beacon).

Since gift delivering is so competitive as an activity on this period of the year, your contract with Santa will come to an end if you don't deliver quickly enough. Your contract starts with 150 seconds, then gaining 10 seconds per gift delivered. If this timer reaches 0, the contract is terminated, and someone else will take your place.

To keep high rates of gift delivered, you have a special piece of equipment : your super high-tech A.C.C system [AugmentedCandyCane] !

This augmented cane gives you the ability to either bounce on the ground and walls while charging a hit and releasing it, or dash through the air by swinging it quickly.

Your A.C.C system is the key to keep your momentum. You can gain crazy amounts of speed while combining bouncing (on ground, walls, roofs, chimneys) and dashing, making you able to float or take 180° turns while accelerating even more.

Your glasses are equipped with a trajectory prediction system, allowing you to precisely aim your gifts when throwing them into chimneys at high speed, even if your speed and momentum carries through the gift. They say Candy Kane can even feel the time slower when aiming...

We had a lot of fun doing this game and participating this game jam, we hope you'll enjoy our game ! Much love and Merry Christmas !
