About Run Santa Claus Run

As Santa dashes through the city streets, presents fly everywhere, and it's up to you to assist him in collecting as many gifts as possible. The festive atmosphere
The genre lives on responsive steering, a sense of speed and upgrades or unlocks between races. Run Santa Claus Run understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play.

Tips and tricks
- Slow in, fast out. Entering a corner a little slower lets you accelerate earlier on the exit, which almost always beats a hard, late braking approach.
- If the game has upgrades, put the first ones into handling or brakes rather than top speed — control wins more races than raw power at the beginning.
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
Who will enjoy it
Run Santa Claus Run is a good fit for anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best. Expect a single race of one to three minutes, or a longer career if unlocks are involved. Difficulty-wise it is forgiving on early tracks, demanding on later ones. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
