A Valentine's Day game starring your grandpa

A Valentine's gift for your grandpa that takes two minutes to make and about ten seconds to land.

Example: Casey vs The Modern World. Yours has their face and your jokes.

You upload a photo of your grandpa and one of the boss. We cut them out on your device and turn them into pixel-art sprites. Add the weapon (newspapers works), a few inside jokes like "the fishing story that grows every year", and a message for the win screen. They get a link. No app, no account, works on any phone.

The boss is whoever, or whatever, your grandpa fights every day. The Modern World is a popular pick. Throw newspapers, dodge the red ones, and when the boss goes down your message appears with confetti. It is the least boring Valentine they will get.

Photos never leave your browser; only the finished sprites are uploaded so the link works for whoever you send it to. The whole thing costs less than a paper card and you can send it in the Valentine's group chat the same minute.

Questions people ask

Does my grandpa need to install anything?
No. The game is a web link that runs in the phone browser. It works on iPhone, Android and desktop.
What photo works best?
A clear head-and-shoulders shot on a plain background. Selfies are fine. Group photos are not, since we cut out one person.
Is it hard to play?
There are three difficulties. Easy is for toddlers and parents. Normal takes a few tries. Hard is for people who play a lot.
Can I change it after publishing?
You can edit the lines and message from the same device you made it on. Sprites are fixed once published.

Same Valentine's, someone else
