Its 1989. You just got the brand new Video Child portable games console. However your parents want you to go to sleep. Unfortunately the Video Child has no light so you will require your bedroom light to see

Make sure you don't get caught, keep your power going by turning your generator and don't die in the game.

Cute concept that I can totally relate to from my own childhood! Haha. I used to stick a big thick comforter down against the crack of my door to keep light from shining out so people theoretically couldn't tell I had my light on. Of course, I didn't have the whole cranking-generator thing to worry about. And boy those parents sure love going up and down the stairs, huh?

Cute concept, very challenging sometimes with the timing of the parents and the rock formations. Cool work.

Cool idea. It's nice that high score is stored between sessions.
It would be nice to have some representation of the door to see if parents are still there when lights are off.

Took me a bit to get especially because I kept dying when I turned of the light and did not know when to turn it back on. Once I got a rhythm going it was fun.
