Ola! Tannenbaum

Ola! I thought it would be cool try making a Christmas-themed game, so here it is. Ola! Tannenbaum is a quick arcade game where you're going to need good timing, lightning reflexes, and absolutely no sense of colour-coordination to create the most chaotically decorated Christmas tree ever. Start by placing baubles, tinsel and fairy lights and top everything off with a star on top. Will you be a bauble boffin or a yuletide liability?

Ola! Tannenbaum is an accurate simulation of what it is like to decorate a tree after too many glasses of sherry and with your eyes closed.

I tried to make an in-game tutorial that explains everything reasonably well but here's what you need to do in more detail if you're planning on min-maxing this.

• The closer you are to a target the more points you will get. Miss the target and you drop the decoration.
• Baubles only need one target. Accurately place two in a row and you'll gain a bonus bauble that's worth double points.
• Tinsel needs to be draped across two targets, one at a time. The longer and closer to horizontal it is, the more points you'll get.
• Fairy lights are similar to tinsel but don't need to be placed horizontally.
• Once all your decorations are gone or you have filled up the tree, you can place the star on top.

Top tips for a truly terrific tree:

• If two targets are next to each other, place a bauble so one target will move somewhere else (hopefully further away so you can place a long piece of tinsel)
• The longer you take to aim a decoration, the faster it will move, making it much harder to place accurately.
• The star is worth the most points, don't drop it!
• A well-placed decoration is worth double points, a well-placed bonus bauble is worth quadruple points.
