This Diwali, send your dad something nobody else will: his very own festival-of-light game. Your dad already owns every gadget, tool and pair of socks known to humanity. He does not own a video game about himself. Yet.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Diwali theme. Your dad dodges dark clouds, grabs diyas and sweets, and the game finishes with a high five ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.
Idea 1
Perfect for the group chat: easy to play, easy to share, impossible to stop.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Proper retro adventure energy, with your dad stomping baddies on the way to the boss.

Idea 3
Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).

Cast Dad as the hero, the kids as cameos and the lawnmower as… well, it’s in his heart already.
Pick a game style and the Diwali theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your dad to turn him into a cartoon character. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
Yes. We keep a table of Diwali dates for years ahead, so the theme is suggested automatically around the festival. You can pick it any time.

Yes. Every line, including the ending message and signature, is editable.
