Buddy's Money Day

A five-minute phone game that teaches a 4-year-old the first principles of money: work earns coins, saving is for a dream you chose, buying is a choice, and caring for Buddy is never a cost.

Every Money Day has three helping tasks — tidy the toys (2 coins), water the tree (1), feed the bear (1) — then the store, where the child can buy a toy or save the rest for a dream toy (the wagon first, then the big teddy). No reading required: the child answers pictures, and every line is mirrored on screen for a grown-up to read along.

Buddy speaks in one warm, consistent voice, pre-recorded from the local Qwen3-TTS studio using the built-in Uncle Fu preset — 75 bundled clips, so the game is a fully static SPA with no backend and no network calls. Built with SvelteKit.
