The latest puzzle game in the wonderful Christmas-themed series, where your goal is to jump off the platforms and close them.
The core gameplay mechanic is deceptively simple yet strategically demanding: players must navigate across platforms, and as Santa jumps off each platform, it closes automatically. This creates a puzzle dynamic where careful planning is essential – jumping in the wrong sequence can block access to the goal, requiring players to restart the level.
When a level is successfully completed, you get a level code for the next level, and the game contains 24 levels in total. This password system allows players to return to previously completed stages without restarting from the beginning.
What distinguishes the Santa’s Workout series is its innovative approach to game design. Each of the titles has a completely different game concept and stands out with its colorfulness and light-heartedness, being completely non-violent and tricky fun for all ages.
The series has demonstrated remarkable creativity across its five parts:
- Santa’s Workout 1: Featured ice block placement mechanics similar to Solomon’s Key
- Santa’s Workout 2: Introduced rock-pushing puzzle elements across slippery ice
- Santa’s Workout 3: Implemented stealth gameplay where Santa must deliver presents without waking sleeping children
- Santa’s Workout 4: Adopted a Lemmings-inspired concept with path-building mechanics
- Santa’s Workout 5: Focuses on the platform-closing puzzle mechanic
