A downloadable game for Windows

Submission for IGDA's Retro Game Jam!

It is the seventies! And a new form of wicked technology has been released to corrupt your little kids:

VIDEO GAMES.

But you are old, and have not been able to keep up with the trends. Your fickle son (tm) keeps begging you to buy him the latest games! (for him to eat).

Keep your son well fed, well hydrated, well excercized, and well-played!

OR ELSE.

Nice visuals spot on recreation of Atari like graphics, really quirky game concept!

A Gamer Tomogachi… Yikes!

I found Some bugs while playing:

-I couldn't toggle through menus, only the space bar for selecting worked.

-the food plat overlaps the son

that's about it. Nice work!
