What do I put as the occasion?

Pick "Just because" in the maker. The intro screen and the win message are written for it, and you can edit every line.

Can a group of us send it?

Yes. One person makes it and everyone signs the win message. Then the link goes in the group chat and you all watch them play it.

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 Just because game starring your best friend

A just-because present for a best friend: their face on the hero, Monday morning as the boss, tacos for weapons, and the kayak incident in the taunts. It costs what a card costs and there is no card to buy.

Send it at 9am on a Monday. The win message can be one line.

Example: Sam vs Monday Morning, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Bosses that work for a best friend

Monday Morning · the enemy of everything good
The Kayak · the incident we do not discuss
Their Ex · with the face blurred, if you like

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a best friend, think the kayak incident, the tacos at 2am, or the night that ended at the airport. 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

Send it in the middle of a working day with no explanation. That is the whole delivery. The win message can say why, or it can just say hi.

The photo

The worst good photo you have. Straight on, face visible, and it will look great as a pixel sprite even if it is terrible as a photo.

Difficulty

Normal takes a few tries, which is the point. Easy if they are likely to give up after one loss.
