Tiny Christmas Platformer 2025
Made over 4 days for two reasons:
- To try out SpiderBasic to create a web game.
- To make a tiny (and hopefully) fun Christmas game!
CONTROLS
- Left / Right Arrow keys = RUN LEFT / RIGHT
- Z or C = JUMP ... (EDITED: originally I had said Z or X ;)
GAMEPLAY
The snowstorm is coming.
Gifts are scattered around the single level.
Collect all the gifts.
Then you need to collect the key.
Then you can open the big "door" to the far right.
And finally you can walk to the right winning the game.
Enjoy! :)
--------------------
TECHNICAL BITS
This game was **programmed from scratch completely in SpiderBasic**.
SpiderBasic compiles to web builds using HTML5 + PixiJS.
The game **resolution is 160x90** and uses a palette of no more than 16 colors.
For more technical implementation information check out the Devlog.

December 27th update to fix a bug with collision detection on the ground spikes. Also "improved" the visuals or at least attempted to make everything smoother and also remove any fast flashing and so forth.
