Group A3: Christmas Adventure
Game Description
The game consists of 4 sections to incrementally improve the Christmassy theme of the house from the
main menu.
Each section targets one element of Christmas: Tree, Decorations, Food and Presents.
Each section consists of a platforming part and a subsequent puzzle, which must both be solved, in order,
to progress.
In each level, there is the opportunity to collect baubles which add to the decorations in the main menu.
You must collect the key to be able to exit the level.
Failing the level will cause you to restart, retaining the keys and baubles that you’ve collected. Failing 3
times will fully restart the level, and you will need to collect the baubles and key again.
Once you’ve completed a level you can go back and replay either part of it again at any time.

SPACE controls the player’s
movement
Movement is subject to gravity
You cannot run through an object. You can jump up onto a narrow shelf from below, but you cannot
jump up through a thicker platform (like a brick wall).
Collect the key to be able to exit at the end of the level – just stand on/next to it; the key flashes to
attract attention
Collect additional baubles in the same way
Avoid falling down through holes by jumping between platforms; if you fall you will lose a life
Later levels also have hazards (fire, smoke, cleaver). When these are inactive (smoke/fire off, cleaver
down) you can run past them unharmed. When these are active you must avoid them or lose a life.
Your lives are shown as hearts at the top left. When you lose all your lives, you lose all progress in that
platform and go back to the main menu
In Level4 once you start the sleigh moving it will continue to move until it hits an obstacle or falls off the
screen. Use AD (LEFT/RIGHT) to change direction.
In Level4 the sleigh is flying, but you need to press W (UP) to keep it up in the air, otherwise it will
gradually drift down.
Puzzles:
WASD or UP/LEFT/DOWN/RIGHT + number keys (1-8) where
necessary.
Maze: get the sprite to the exit
Christmas Tree Lights: untangle the lights so that each row has one
of each colour. Use WS (UP/DOWN) to select the row (the bell will
indicate which row is selected). Use AD (LEFT/RIGHT) to rotate that
row. The top and bottom rows are static.
Food Puzzle: just move the pieces to solve the puzzle and see the
complete picture
Sleigh puzzle. Move all the obstacles out of the way so that the
