Another birthday, another card that says “you’re not old, you’re vintage”. Let’s do better. Best friends deserve better than a Facebook “happy birthday”. Send them a game where they’re the hero and you’re the chaos.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Birthday theme. Your best friend dodge balloons and rogue candles, grab cake and presents, and the game finishes with a cake smash ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.
Idea 1
One tap to play, so your best friend can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

For when your best friend deserve a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.

Idea 3
Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your best friend have revenge.
Sample lines
Make them the hero, you the boss, and the rest of the gang as heckling cameos.
Pick a game style and the Birthday theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your best friend to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
