Ola! Tannenbaum
Hola! Ola! Tannenbaum is a quick arcade puzzle 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.
There's an in-game tutorial of sorts, but if you're wanting to score well, this is what you need to do:
- 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.

Thanks for making this fun game. me and my girlfriend have had a really fun time playing it this Christmas. is festive finesse the highest rank you can get? just wondering, it's the best we've got so far
Made a video
Haha that's awesome, thanks for making a video. You did really well to go from Crimbo Cringe to Festive Finesse in one game. I think that deserves a glass of sherry. :)
Super fun idea! took me a while to realize you could swap between the different types of decorations haha. Great music and visuals too.
Glad you enjoyed it. If I add some more to the game, I should try making the tutorial a bit better to make it clearer what you're supposed to do at the start. It's always fun making music on Pico-8, so I'm glad you appreciated that! 😀
^^ okay oh what fun it is to decorate the X-mas tree
Glad you enjoyed it. Have a glass of sherry on me. :)
