RUSHMAS

Christmas will be here in 5 minutes, but Santa still have a lot to do! How many present will you be able to deliver to the right child before the sunset? The Countdown is on!

In Rushmas you are playing as Santa in its delivery zone. Check the child letters on the board, identify what each one of them is looking for, check the presents shelf and ask your faithful Elfs to take it and send it. But be aware of your Elfs, as you may know, they all have their own "particularity" which could impact the selected shelf gift.

PRESENTATION

This prototype was made in 96 hours for GMTK Game Jam 2026 by a team of 5 people. The interpretation of the theme Countdown is following: countdown before Christmas!  

Our main objective was to provide an original interpretation of the theme by first, using Christmas universe in the middle of  the summer, and second provide an original Point'n Click gameplay that might  have evolution possibilities if we will have time to.

Each team members had its specific personal agenda and constraints, we didn't actually work for 96 hours on this prototype, which gave us not a lot of time for meetings. We were mostly working on our side, sending most of our progress on a Discord channel and update the Trello to update everyone's visibility. Considering this, we are very proud of what we achieved and we are pretty convinced by the concept that would need a lot of polish and balancing to provide a solid prototype!

If you have any constructive comments (ideas, improvements for this prototype) We would be glad to read them! ...Oh and don't forget to share your highest score in the comments section!
