In a other timeline than our, Santa Claus :santa: has a brother who wants two things : Being rich :moneybag: and spreding sadness :sob: in the kingdom. To accomplish his dream, the brother manage to become the King :crown:.
As king, he decides to create an annual tax on December to make people sad when Christmas :christmastree: is coming... He called it : The Christmas Tax :moneywith_wings:.
Santa, at the other end of his brother, would make people happy :smile: but the tax doesn't help in his work :gift: !

Hope you have liked the Mario style description

What if Santa Claus must pay taxes ?

Christmas Tax is a runner game. Collect coins to get money and give as many gifts as possible at the end of the run.

At the end, the Santa Claus' brother will apply the tax to your total earned. The more you are rich, the higher tax is.

From | to | Tax --- | --- | --- 0$ | 1000$ | 5% 1000$ | 2000$ | 6% 2000$ | 3000$ | 8% 3000$ | 4000$ | 10% 4000$ | 5000$ | 12% 5000$ | 6000$ | 25% 6000$ | | 50%

After 6000$, the tax will increase by 1% every 100$ earned (so at 6100$, tax is 51%; at 6200$, tax is 52%...ect).
Also, care at walls and at holes. Hitting a wall, make you lose 10$ and falling into a hole, 250$.

Really well executed runner platformer. Lovely graphics and interesting alternate paths to take.

Would have loved a christmasy soundtrack or some Santa sound effects though.
