GiftXNA was a PC-based, pong-clone, birthday gift created for my girlfriend.

This game motivated me to attempt to sell interactive mini-games to replace eCards. This idea didn't scale very well since the creation of a single mini-game took a ton of effort and would dictate a price tag outside of the target market's range. I also used Etsy, which was not the best distribution channel for this idea.

The game was built using C# and XNA. You can see a video of the gameplay.

The game mechanics are similar to pong. The player controls me, a romantic whose only goal is to deliver kisses to his beautiful damsel.

Space Bar: Throw kisses

Up/Down Arrows: Move me
