#Secret Santa Letter

Hi! I'm a high school student and I am learning how to make games. I like to play rougelikes (like hades) and rpgs (like assasin's creed). I really like to read and my favorite genres are definitely fantasy and sci-fi. I am really interested in magic and technology. I’m looking forward to what you make!!

#Game idea

the year is 20XX, with the advent of flying cars and the never ending neon glow the world city, Santa has had to take a more stealthy approach. Avoid the drones and spike traps on your way to the last chimney!

Sneak around and drop of all 10 presents without being seen. If you're seen your explode and restart the level
