New year, new you? Nah. New game, same your kids, now in cartoon form. Kids love games. Kids love themselves. A game starring your kids is basically the perfect present, and there’s no batteries or plastic involved.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the New Year theme. Your kids dodge hangover clouds, grab champagne and clock pieces, and the game finishes with a group hug 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
One tap to play, so your kids can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 2

A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone they know very well.

Let each child be a playable character (they’ll pick on the select screen) and put the grown-ups in as friendly cameos.
Pick a game style and the New Year theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your kids to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
Yes. In the story climber each milestone has a year and a caption (cartoon memory scenes are coming soon), so you can turn the year into a game.
Only a parent or guardian (or someone with their consent) should upload photos of children. The original photo is deleted as soon as the cartoon characters are made, games are unlisted and untracked, and family mode is always on. You can delete the game whenever you like.
Yes. Games stay live while your plan is active, so it’s a keepsake rather than a one-night thing.
