A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

FAQs

How do I move Santa?

Use the arrow keys or WASD on a computer keyboard to move Santa's sleigh. Watch where presents and bombs are falling, then move into a clear collection path before an object reaches you.

What gives me points?

Catching falling presents adds to your score. Keep an attempt going as the objects speed up, and pass up a present when moving under it would leave you beside a bomb.

What happens when I hit a bomb?

Hitting a bomb costs one of your three lives, and losing all three ends the attempt. Before collecting another present, check that you have room to move away from nearby bombs rather than chasing every falling object.

Does the game get harder?

The falling presents and bombs get faster as you progress. Watch above Santa for the next group and make small, early movements, leaving room to avoid a bomb when it reaches the sleigh.

Can I play on a phone?

Santa Collecting Gifts requires arrow keys or WASD, so use a computer with a keyboard for the controls described here. For mouse clicks or taps, try Crazy Christmas Fun, where you guide a flying sleigh toward a Christmas tree.

How can I improve my score?

Look above Santa and choose a clear route through the falling presents before moving. Leave a gift behind when a bomb blocks your escape. After losing a life, focus on the movement that put you in danger and adjust it on your next attempt.
