Introduction

Christmas Ski Mayhem is a 16-bit downhill runner from chris-bruno-studios that sends players racing through a snowy Christmas village at night. The goal is to keep the run alive, collect presents, and build streaks while the slope speeds up. Players switch lanes, jump over rocks and fences, and avoid trees and snowmen, with three lives to spend. Ramps launch the skier into a spread eagle for floating presents, and matching three presents grants a power-up: candy canes smash through obstacles, snowflakes slow time, and bells pull presents across lanes. A streak multiplier climbs as high as 5x, though a crash wipes it out, and close calls add bonuses. Santa Drop fills every lane with gifts, while rare golden presents and extra-life hearts add rewards. The game includes Green Circle, Blue Square, Black Diamond, Double Black, and Avalanche slope levels, plus a Your Best banner for record distance. A Daily Run gives everyone the same hill for the day, with a score to copy and share as a challenge. Unlockable jackets are tied to career presents. It works on phone and desktop and is built for quick one-more-run sessions.
