Santa is running behind schedule and needs your help delivering presents. Get in your biplane and deliver twenty presents by dropping them in each chimney. If you miss one it will take longer as you will have to make another attempt to deliver a present to that house.

Watch out for obstacles like trees and birds as you try to deliver the presents.

Scoring

Chimney Buzzing – This is similar to “buzzing the tower” in which a pilot fly’s by an air traffic control tower very closely at high speeds. In this case, flying as close as you can to the chimney when you drop a present in will give you a higher score. The closer you are to the chimney the higher your points will be. The maximum score you can receive per chimney is 100 points with a minimum score of 25 points. You will know you received maximum points when you see a shooting star after performing a perfect chimney buzz.

Note: You will not be able to get 100 points per chimney as birds start to get in the way. Just get as low as possible when dropping a present to achieve the the best score you can.

Multiplier – You will gain/increase the multiplier for each consecutive chimney you drop a present in. If you miss a chimney, crash into the house or tree, or hit a bird, you will lose the multiplier.

Time Bonus – There is a time bonus so finishing as fast as possible without crashing and running into birds is key.
