Christmas Tax by Nougat
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.
Coin | Value --- | --- Copper | 5 coins Silver | 25 coins Gold | 100 coins

You will play Santa Claus. Santa runs automatically toward the right of the screen. Your can only jump or slide.
Action | Keyboard | Arrows | Mouse --- | --- | --- | --- Jump | W | Up | Left click Slide | S | Down | Right click


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$.

That's my first game jam, I find that was really fun to do and I hope I will be here for the next jam.
Hope you will enjoy playing my game.
Protip : The maximum gifts you can offer is 81. Good luck
