About the Game

Me: “I can’t come up with any game ideas…”

Mom: “Then make a game where you stuff as many carrots as you can.”

Mom: “Maybe rabbits eat the carrots. And add some rotten carrots too.”

Me: “Hmm… that would make the rules too complicated. I’m not that good at programming. Can you come up with ideas for enemy characters instead?”

Me: “Also, I’m going to show you in the bottom-right corner, so let me record a video.”

Mom: “Alright, I’ll hold a carrot and show it off.”

This is a casual falling-block puzzle game created through conversations like this.
