Will it work on Christmas morning on the family wifi?

The game is small and runs in the phone browser. Once the link has opened it keeps playing without a connection, so a slow one only delays the first load.

Can she play it on a tablet?

Yes. Any phone or tablet with a browser. The touch controls are two big buttons and the arrows.

What photo works best?

A clear head-and-shoulders shot on a plain background. Selfies are fine. Group photos are not, since we cut out one person.

Can I change it after publishing?

You can edit the lines and message from the same device you made it on. Sprites are fixed once published.

A Christmas game starring your daughter

A Christmas game for a daughter: her face on the hero, glitter for weapons, the tidy-up monster as the boss, and space as the arena. Easy mode means she wins, and the win message is from you, read out loud on Christmas morning to whoever is nearest.

Make it while she is asleep on Christmas Eve. The trailer is a 20-second clip you can send to the grandparents with her reaction. No ads, no chat, nothing in it that is not yours.

Example: Ava vs The Tidy-Up Monster, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Bosses that work for a daughter

The Tidy-Up Monster · it hides in the toy box
Bedtime · she is not tired
The Little Brother · with his permission, or not

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a daughter, think the pancake Sunday record, the dance she does when she wins, or the word she says wrong that nobody corrects. You can rewrite every line.

Start with a photo

Free to make and play. $9.99 only when you send the link.

On the day

Put the QR code in the card under the tree, or in the cracker, and let them scan it at the table with everyone watching. For a stocking, the printed postcard is the physical version: game on the front, your note and a scan-to-play code on the back, posted to a US or Canadian address. Order by mid-December to be safe.

The photo

A clear photo of her face, looking at the camera. Hair clips and headbands cut out fine.

Difficulty

Pick Easy: five hearts, slow shots, and the boss waits until they throw once.
