Everything I built
Game
Whack-a-Dust-Bunny
liveAt home this is a booth in Broom & Blade, the chore game I built for my family: a finished chore earns a ticket, and a ticket buys a round. Here every round is free. Dust bunnies pop out of nine holes in a candlelit cellar and you have 75 seconds to bonk them. Golden ones are worth three, helmets take two bonks, and two bonks in a flash is a DOUBLE BONK. Sneezy bunnies, hoppers, mama bunnies, socks and three surprise events a round keep it changing, your bonks fill the sign for FEVER, and the last twelve seconds bring the Horde. Pip pops up too. Don’t bonk Pip.

What it does
- A round is 75 seconds across nine holes, and the last 12 are the frenzy, when the Horde arrives: eight bonks turn it to dust for a 10-point bonus.
- Twenty bonks fill the sign (a broken streak knocks four off), and tapping it gives six seconds of FEVER, when every bunny is gold.
- Each round plays three surprise events drawn from four: Golden Rush, Lights Out, Pip’s Cousins and the Conga Line.
- Five brooms, four of them unlocked by playing well, from bonking 50 bunnies in a round to a streak of 40.
