Nuclear Daddy

Save your sleeping child in this unorthodox post-apocalyptic arcade puzzler. Brilliant and quick thinking required.

Something terrible has happened in the world but right now your main concern is that your child is sleeping and you do not want him to wake up!

But alas, nightmares will be chasing your child, can you save him from them?

As a daddy, you explore the post-nuclear world where many items were left after the apocalypse. Whenever you pick up five items that are the same, you can send them to your child's dream where he can use them. For example, pick five wings and your child will grow wings that will help him to fly above some obstacles.

Pick the right items for the right moment, devise the best strategy and save your child.

Warning: To solve the game completely, you will really need to employ some out-of-the-box thinking. Maybe this game looks simple, but it is not. It is a arcade-game-combined-devious-puzzler. Truly an unorthodox combination.

If you manage to solve the game, let us know in the comments, we'll praise you! Beware, it requires IQ at least 385.
