Why did you create this game?

I created this game for my son who loves machines and fixing things. I wanted to create a game that involved fixing a broken machine. I created the game with Google AI Studio; Gemini 3 Pro Preview.

Original prompt:

Create a fun game where Santa’s present machine is broken. The player needs to follow a sequence of coloured lights (accompanied by sounds) on the machine, clicking them in the right order, to start the machine. When the machine works it produces a present – yay! Make it fun for a 4-year old, with nice animations of the machine whirring to life, things turning, zapping, perhaps the present being made in a window etc.

Gemini 3 Pro Preview managed to one-shot the game, but I toyed about with the design quite a lot to make it more Christmas themed.
