The Parenting Game

Welcome to The Parenting Game! Your goal is to give your child 100 hearts ❤️ of love before they turn 18 and move out.

• Use arrow keys or buttons to move the parent
• Press spacebar or ❤️ button to shoot hearts
• Avoid emotion circles (loneliness, self-criticism, judgement, work stress, past trauma)
• Hitting circles slows you and shortens heart range
• "Past trauma" (black circle) spins you, slows you more, and may turn hearts black
• Black hearts ❤️ reduce your score and slow both parent and child
• Collect coffee cups ☕ for a speed boost
• Enter the therapy door 🚪 when it appears to shrink "past trauma"
• Track progress each year: aim to stay ahead of the heart goal!
