About the game
Elf Jetpack is a catching game in the sky. An elf with a rocket on its back hovers in a blue sky full of clouds, and objects drift and fall past it: presents hanging from parachutes, candy, clocks. You fly to meet them, and every catch scores points; the presents and candy also add time to a one-minute clock, and the clocks add more.
From the second level on, dangerous objects start to cross the screen too; touching one costs you points, so you have to choose which things are worth chasing. Each level lasts 21 seconds, the items get faster and more frequent as you go, and there are ten levels.
The sky is simple and the colours are flat, and the whole game is about reading the paths of the falling things and getting under them in time.
Playing it here
Click Play and the game starts in the page, with a small bar above it for the score, pause, restart and sound. It works with touch: drag to fly. Nothing is installed and nothing is sent to other sites; the best score is not saved.

A few things worth knowing
Do not chase everything. A present on the wrong side of a hazard costs more than it gives.
Stay central. From the middle of the screen you can reach both sides in time.
Credits and licence
Elf Jetpack is one of the mini-games of a holiday web app that Google published as open source (the santa-tracker-web repository). The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and the images and sounds are under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, credited to Google LLC and the contributors of the project. The game is the same as the one Google published: for this site only the page around it was replaced (score bar, pause, sound), fonts and libraries are served from this site, and links back to the original app were removed, so the page never contacts other sites. The licence texts and the list of changes are in the licence file of the game. This is an unofficial copy and is not made, endorsed or sponsored by Google.
FAQ
What happens at level 10? After the last level the game ends and shows your score.
Is there a way to lose before the time runs out? No: hazards take points away but do not end the round.
