Game Description
In Santastic,  players assume  the role  of Santa  Claus,
whose mission is to deliver presents to children awaiting
gifts in various regions of a snowy landscape. Each level
presents unique challenges,  hazards,  and  opportunities
for discovery.

Starting a Level
At the beginning of every level,  Santa must retrieve his
gift sack from  the sleigh before  commencing deliveries.
Without  the  sack,   presents  cannot  be  collected  or
distributed.

Movement and Navigation
Movement across  the icy platforms requires caution.  The
surfaces  are slippery,  causing  Santa to slide slightly
and making  precise  control  more difficult.  Mastery of
momentum and timing is essential for safe navigation.

Obstacles and Hazards
Throughout the journey,  Santa will  encounter a range of
obstacles, including:
 - Snowmen patrolling specific areas
 - Flying birds capable of pecking Santa
 - Snowmen who hurl snowballs
 - Spikes emerging from the ground

Contact with any  obstacle results  in the loss of hearts
(life  points).   However,   collecting   ten   Christmas
ornaments will automatically restore one heart.

Delivering Presents
After  successfully  delivering  a  present  to  a child,
players may  save their progress.  To continue, return to
the  starting  point of  the level  to collect a new gift
sack  for  the  next  delivery.  Each level  contains ten
children.  Once all  ten presents have been  delivered, a
bonus stage is unlocked.

Bonus Stage
In the  bonus  stage,  Santa  rides his  sleigh through a
festive  sky,   collecting   ornaments   while   avoiding
obstacles.  To  complete the stage  successfully, players
must jump or duck at the correct moments.

Hidden Side Quest
While exploring,  players may  encounter a mother penguin
requesting help in  locating her lost chick.  Finding the
baby  penguin  and  returning  it  to its mother grants a
significant score bonus.

IN DEMO VERSION WE CAN PLAYING ONLY FOR A  FEW MINUTES OF
TIME.
