How to play Chimney Drop
It is Christmas Eve and Santa’s sleigh is flying low over a sleepy, snowy town. Every house is waiting for a present, and it is your job to drop each one right down the chimney. Tap the screen, or press the space bar or the down arrow, and a present tumbles out of Santa’s sack.
Presents do not fall straight down. They keep some of the sleigh’s speed, so they curve forward as they fall. A dotted line shows where the next present will go, and the ring at the end turns gold when it is right over a chimney. That is the moment to tap. Land it in the middle for a Perfect bonus.
Every present in a row builds your combo, and every four in a row makes each present worth more, up to five times the points. If a present bounces off a roof, or you fly past a chimney without dropping one, that counts as a miss. Three misses in a row cost a heart, and when all three hearts are gone the night is over.
Look out for houses with a glowing gold window. That is a child who has made a special wish. Get a present down that chimney for a big bonus, and if you have lost a heart, you get one back. The sleigh gets faster the longer you fly, so stay sharp.
Your best score is kept on this device only. When you finish, you can share your score card with a friend and see if they can beat it.
