xmas

Sell Christmas trees on the streets of New York.

xmas is a top-down, Grand Theft Auto–style browser game set in a simplified Manhattan map. You play a tree vendor working city lots — from Union Square to Times Square — with Romp Family Christmas Trees at Jane Street & 8th Avenue as the prestige final stand.

Walk with WASD or arrow keys. Press E at your stand to talk to customers in Pokémon-style dialog battles: pick the right lines to close the sale. Meet other players online and challenge rival vendors at their lots.

How to play

  1. Register — Choose a seller character (Rookie, Hustler, Charmer, or Expert). Each player starts at a different lot.
  2. Sell trees — At your stand, press E to start a customer encounter. Patience (♥) drops on weak responses; win the battle to earn cash.
  3. Explore — Walk the grid streets, parks, and avenues. Visit other stands to trade barbs with NPC vendors.
  4. Seasons — After 5+ sales, end the season for a good season. Three good seasons unlock Romp Family Christmas Trees.
