Santa's Sleigh Simulator
After integrating the Boeing 787 simulation game into the United Airlines app the airline asked SkyTale to create a Christmas related simulator especially for children.
With a package size budget of 10MB and only six weeks of development for an iOS and Android game from scratch the project was quite a challenge for the team.
Like Santa Claus we finished the job on time and created a simple, but visually appealing and fun to play Christmas game in SkyTale’s own WebGL engine.
Following several randomly chosen tracks Santa Claus must collect as many presents and Christmas items as possible before he lands the sleigh at Courchevel airport in the French alps.
Rudolf, the red-nosed, youngest and ninth of Santa’s reindeer, leads the team and guides the sleigh through this adventure.
If you collect all available Christmas items on a track before landing you get a “Perfect Streak” achievement which is increased by one after every finished turn till you miss at least one present. Then the achievement is reset, and the challenge starts from the beginning.
The game takes place in a perfect winter wonderlands’ night, lighten up by a bright moon on the star filled sky.
The big clouds are not just visual elements. They are also part of the different trails of collectable items and beneath them there is some snowfall showing up.
Included in the United Airlines app during christmas time
Santa’s Sleigh Simulator is, like SkyTale’s Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” game, integrated in the United Airlines app and runs on most iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. It is not available as a standalone product. Please note that United Airlines will remove or replace seasonal games from time to time.
