Tionet! Description
In this game, the player is the Uncle who is very much alive and eats tangerines, once he has finished them, a gift appears, which also needs to be touched to complete the level.
Watch out, the fire chases you and if you touch the uncle three times, it burns and it's game over.
The Tionet game! it is a very free version of the story.
Origins:
The Tió de Nadal is a very old tradition in which a very large log was burned for the Christmas dates, and it was poked with sticks to fan the flames and make sparks, this is how the winter solstice was celebrated, venerating the fire that represents the Sun, which from the solstice grows again in time and heat, with this veneration fertility, light and heat were asked to end the winter.
Later, the tradition was mixed with Christian ideas, such as the generosity of the Magi or Saint Nicholas, and he was given the power to "let go" of gifts and cockroaches after being stung. So it became very popular and, for Christmas, families used to '"let go" the uncle' by chopping him into a round, letting him rest under the blanket for a few minutes, during which the children had to be out of the room , and when the adults said that he had let loose some winds, or had made some noise, the children could go back and uncover it, finding all the presents that had magically appeared...
Then he would poke himself again singing the song, and the game would start again, and it would be repeated until he made a very loud noise and no longer "dropped" gifts...
The song that was sung varies according to the town, the region, or the family, and the tune is very simple, here are the lyrics that were sung at my grandmother Maria Armengol's house in Terrassa:
(I had to change a verb to "let go" due to Metadata policies)
Uncle Uncle, "let go" nougat,
hazelnut and pine nuts
and of the ends that are better
don't "let go" herrings
that are (too) salty,
"let go" nougat, which is better
Uncle! ,
Uncle!!!!
