The Controller's Button Press


I press the big red button on my Game Boy. It makes a soft click as it lights up green. I hold the little joystick left and right, watching as the dots move across the screen. I tap the A button to jump over tiny monsters. They pop with a small “boop” sound. I slide my thumb across the D-pad to make the player run faster. The game gets harder when the screen fills with more monsters, but I keep pressing and moving. My fingers get tired, so I take little breaks to wiggle them. When I find a hidden star, it makes the screen flash white. It’s fun finding new things in each level!
