Your Retro Joystick doesn’t stop at the end of the instructions — it’s just the first level. Once your child builds their controller, they can take it further with creative hacks and mods that change how it looks, feels, and plays. From custom paint jobs to extra buttons, every tweak levels up their invention (and their imagination).
You now have a controller — time to play! Connect your joystick to a game that is as unique as you are: Selfie Arcade. Use your webcam to drop yourself straight into some retro video games. Customize your characters and get ready for some seriously epic fun.
Your joystick should be as unique as you are! Mods let you show off your style with visually creative upgrades that make your controller truly yours. Bright colors, bold skins, and treasured stickers make your joystick something to be proud of!
Hacks are changing how your joystick functions — add more buttons, custom controls, and even more players. These ideas are just some recommendations from us to get you taking the first few steps of your invention journey.
