Just posted my second Gamer Dad article!
This one’s about Ballance — a 2004 physics puzzle game that helped my son go from fumbling with the arrow keys to confidently controlling a rolling ball above the clouds.
It wasn’t just about balance. It was about focus, patience, and the joy of seeing him grow.

What games have helped you bond with your kids? I’d love to hear them!
Just posted my first Substack article about the first game I ever played with my son:
🎮 The Tiny Bang Story — a cozy, puzzle-filled world with no words, just wonder.
We played side by side. He giggled. He learned. And I got emotional (don’t tell him that 😅).
If you’re a gamer parent, or just love meaningful indie games, give it a read:

Wow... just noticed we are on 14th of March. 7 years ago, on this day, Stephen Hawking departed for the stars.
In his memory, there was a Hutton Tribute Challenge shortly after, to bring Mugs to all Stations and locations named after him.
I for one participated also by making this 13min vid of my journey. Was cool to rewatch it and remember a brilliant mind.

Looks like an update on a very old classic called Marble Madness.

Have played that game, but not with any family member.
Been a very long time since I had any sort of positive experience like that with family.
