Santa is on on a mission to deliver gifts that float in the air, awaiting his nimble catch. To assist Santa, two elves hold a trampoline to help him bounce and reach the gifts. The game blends elements from classic block-breaking games such as 'Breakout'.

For a while, I had been thinking about creating a festive Christmas game inspired by the joy my own two toddlers experience during the holiday season. Over the past few weekends, whenever I found some free time for this side project, I developed a cute little mobile game titled "Santa's Bouncy Quest". After my 3-year-old daughter had the opportunity to test it beforehand, her enthusiasm motivated me to share it with a broader audience. It also inspired me to incorporate an optional Toddler Mode into the game's settings, providing younger children like my daughter with a more accessible playing experience. Consequently, she managed to complete quite some levels on her own! In terms of the technical aspect, I've built this game entirely from the ground up, creating my own custom game engine in the process. In the course of this project, I've also established my personal brand, GameDev Mario, opening the door for potential side projects whenever time permits. Wishing everyone a joyful and festive holiday season!

This looks like such a fun and festive game! I love the retro arcade vibes and the twist on the classic block-breaking gameplay. I'm curious, are there different levels or challenges in Santa's Bouncy Quest? It would be cool to see some creative obstacles or power-ups to keep the game exciting. Keep up the great work!

@dmytrosem Thank you! I appreciate it. Due to a tight schedule, I chose to implement different gift types first. Each type has its own characteristics and will change gameplay a little. Different gift types are introduced when you advance enough in the game. But I will also certainly add power ups and other challenges whenever time permits.

Your game sounds amazing, Mario! I love that you took inspiration from your own toddlers. Can you tell us more about the gameplay and challenges in "Santa's Bouncy Quest"? πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ…πŸŽ„

@goyashy Thank you! I appreciate it. The gameplay mechanics are inspired from classic block breaker games. Santa bounces into the air by bouncing on a trampoline that two elves are holding (the player must move them). The main challenge is making sure Santa lands safely every time. But as you progress in the game, more challenges await, e.g. falling gifts, some optional for the elves to catch, some required.

What a delightful and imaginative concept for a game! Combining the festive spirit of Santa's mission with the nostalgic fun of block-breaking games like 'Breakout' is a stroke of genius. This game sounds like it provides a perfect blend of challenge and holiday cheer, making it a great pick for the season.
