Bouncy Claus was created in a window of around seven days, and is a platformer where the player controls Santa as he bounces through a run of 20 stages. His objective? Collect all the presents scattered in each stage! Complete the run and beat the game!

However, Santa is on a pogo-stick (perhaps he's stolen a childs Christmas present - we'll never know) and is destined to jump all the time!

Be quick! It isn't long until Christmas Day, and there is a countdown! Once the timer hits zero, the game ends! But, for reasons never quite explained, every 4th stage an egg-timer can be collected that will reset the timer!

One more thing - each run is randomly generated and contains stage modifiers, so you'll never play the same run twice!

Good luck!

CONTROLS:
Arrow keys - move Santa left/right
FIRE (SHIFT by default) - Jump
ESC - return to the title screen

Just sat down to play this game for a bit and I had fun! I love the style and it's very impressivle for something made in such a short amount of time.
The chiptune Christmas music was also a nice touch, did you make that yourself?
I haven't beaten it yet (because I SUCK) but I'll let you know when/if I do!

Yeah is a very good game, i liked the music too, but too difficult, at least for me (but i suck too). An Android version for it would be pretty cool

Hi both, glad you enjoyed it

I appreciate it can be challenging but keep persevering! I did indeed make the music (I thought it was rather horrible to be honest but I was running out of time to compose it and release around the Xmas period).

An Android version... Who knows? Depends how many ask I suppose!

That was pretty fun - simple but generally fair gameplay - also not completed it but feels doable. Graphics were clean. enjoyed the music but might grate on me where I to try and complete all 20 levels!

Would be nice to have a stats page (furthest stage / number of completions / number of bounces) etc. but the core.

Presumably there are 20 or so different levels?

There are 20 levels out of a much larger pool, and they are completely randomised. They also contain modifiers so you'll never be sure what to expect next.

Ah understood - so chance for getting a reasonable run of levels that I'm significantly better at
