About the game
Reindeer Runner is an endless-runner style game with an end: you have two minutes to run a course that grows longer and faster, with the finish line waiting at the end. The reindeer runs by itself; you jump and slide. Houses and other obstacles block the way on the ground, and some hang from above, so in every stretch you decide between jumping and sliding.
Presents are spread along the course for points, and now and then a boost appears that attracts presents to the reindeer like a magnet for twenty seconds. The speed goes through four levels as the course goes on, and hitting something throws the reindeer back.
The look is bright cartoon with a stage-like factory in the background, and the sounds and music are those of the original game.
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: swipe up and down. Nothing is installed and nothing is sent to other sites; the best score is not saved.

A few things worth knowing
Jump early. The jump has a fixed arc; start it a little before the obstacle.
Take the magnet. It is worth more than any one present: it picks up everything near the reindeer for twenty seconds.
Credits and licence
Reindeer Runner 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.
