Gameplay Overview
If you had played Flappy Bird and wanted your children to experience the same side scrolling action without the rage inducing difficulty, then Super Santa Jr. is perfect.
Santa and his reindeer all must go through the candy canes. The hit box is very long, so you need to ensure your clicks make everyone go through, if they start falling, Santa and his sleigh can often hit the candy cane causing the game to end.
Santa can collect stars, which gives temporary invulnerability to candy canes, so you can take a break from precise clicking. You are not invulnerable from hitting the top and bottom, which will cause the game to end.
The candy canes become translucent, so you know you can pass through them without danger
The timing between clicking and not is quite generous, Santa will not plummet immediately, which is why it is suitable for younger kids. In addition, the spacing between the candy canes are quite large, so your clicking doesn’t have to be very precise to fit Santa and his reindeer through.
