Short little game about collecting candy canes.

Play online: https://tic80.com/play?cart=3095

In the game, you have to run around and collect candy canes in a one-screen level. Each candy cane will increase your score by 100 + the remaining amount of time. In order to leave the level, get your score up to 7000 and exit via the door in the house.

I'm not much of a programmer, but I am happy with the little game i've manged to make. I hope you like it!

BUG: If you finish all 3 levels and try to play again, you start at level 4 which doesn't exist, so it's just a mostly black screen. in order to avoid this, reset the cart to play again.

Pretty fun game! I liked trying to optimize my movements for each level

I do wish the candy canes were in more random spots, and the collision could be a bit less janky, but this is still pretty neat for 1 day

My highscore is 21352, if anyone cares about that lol

Two thoughts:
- Randomizing the locations of the canes even a small amount would make the game dramatically more interesting.
- I'm not sure how I feel about the value of the canes decreasing over time -- it's generally good practice to have difficulty increase over time, but this isn't increasing difficulty so much as just "amount of work needed", and it's a little discouraging to look at my score, think "I'm halfway there!", and then realize I'm actually not. Though I suppose having the value of the canes increase over time would create weird perverse incentives.

Really polished visuals and sound, though, nice job!
