It's the christmas season and social media platforms are putting up their holiday best. Snapchat has released a new update that lets users play a fun game with its new festive holiday lenses.
The Snapchat in-app game is called Santa's Helper. It is a simple game where the user's face is placed on an elf's body with an option to maneuver left and right as the user slides down a snowy slope.
The objective of the game is to collect gifts and ornaments to rack up points. Users have to tilt the toon by tilting their face left and right to evade the trees and bunnies to avoid deduction of points. This game might only be available until the end of the holiday season so it is suggested that you play it before Snapchat takes it down.
Other games were discovered by users in a Gatorade ad inside the app which launches a web browser when swiped. The website features a tennis game where users can play as Serena Williams in an 8-bit game with 22 levels. The aim is to defeat opponents by simply tapping one of the tennis balls to serve then touch the left or right side of your screen to follow back your opponent's strikes.
Another game is called Under Armor Cam Newton where users play as Cam Newton. The objective is to dodge the obstacles in the game. However, these games were not created by Snapchat but was instead built by other ads and are hosted on the app.
