Let's Talk About Games

Not so much from me. It’s fun, but I suspect once I’m done I’ll not return to it. But from my four year old daughter. She’s had a passing interest in daddy’s hobby before. With the auto driver on, she can hold interest in few laps of Mario Kart. She liked the execrable Bluey game. Everything else holds no interest.

Until Bananza. Three days straight now, she has asked if she can watch me play the monkey game. Not when I was playing it. At entirely separate times! Tonight, watching five minutes of Bananza was sufficient reward for behaving at bath time. She shrieks with laughter when his eyes turn into bananas. She cheers when I earn a banana. And she offers suggestions for where I might punch to find bananas. She’s totally enraptured and she’s not even the player.

Maybe at some point I’ll show her how to use the second controller function. But for now, it’s just a delight to play the money game with her.
