Zara Donut Run: keeping her little voice

A game for my daughter. Five years later, her little voice is still part of it. ❤️

Finally, I have updated the game for my daughter, which was built on Android five years ago using her voice.

The idea was to preserve those cute little baby voices that we know will disappear as our kids grow up. ❤️

Five years later, I could build the upgrade myself

With Astra, I could finally upgrade it and make it run on web and mobile. I honestly paid for the Android version, and now I could do it all by myself. Pretty amazing. 🤩

The original voice recordings are still in the game. That was the reason for making it in the first place, and the part I wanted to carry forward.

Real gameplay: collect donuts, dodge obstacles, and keep running.

A little voice worth keeping

Our kids grow up, and those little voices change. This game lets me keep a small piece of that time.

Turn the sound on when you play. Her voice is the heart of it. ❤️
