Suggestion for a simple videogame.

No instructions. No words. Only touch for control

The player sees an avatar and a pillow in an otherwise empty space.

The avatar can touch, lift, toss, throw, pat, and fluff the pillow.

If and when the avatar lies on the pillow, if it is flat or dented, he looks sad.

And if the pillow is fully fluffed when he lies on it, he looks happy.

But when the avatar lies on the pillow for a while, the pillow once again becomes flat or dented. So the avatar has to fluff it again to become happy again.
