The Date Before Christmas

Every night since your human hosts put up their Christmas tree, the beautiful angel at its top has been looking down fondly at your humble little gingerbread village. You are infatuated with her, but you just haven't had the courage to tell her. Until now. It's Christmas Eve, and you've finally mustered up the gumption to ask her out on a date. But she's all the way up there, and you're all the way down here. If you're going to do this, you'll need to scale the tree with nothing but your trusty candy cane and your grit, delivering presents to the ornaments along the way to show that you're just as sweet inside as you are outside.

How to Play

Press the <- and -> buttons or A and D to swing left to right. Hold the button in the direction you are already swinging to build more momentum.

When you're ready to launch yourself, press space, and it will throw you in the direction you are facing.


Reach the top of the tree in Story mode while collecting and delivering gifts, or survive for as long as possible in Endless mode to build up a highscore.
