Día de los Muertos is about colour, music and remembering the people we love. A game starring your boyfriend fits right in. Gifts for boyfriends are hard. He wants nothing, needs nothing and already bought the thing. Make him something he can’t buy: a game about him.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Day of the Dead theme. Your boyfriend dodges skeleton mariachis, grabs marigolds and sugar skulls, and the game finishes with a dance party 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 boyfriend can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).
Sample lines
Idea 3
Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your boyfriend have revenge.
Sample lines
Make him the hero and yourself the final reunion. Bonus points for casting his best mate as the boss.
Pick a game style and the Day of the Dead theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your boyfriend to turn him into a cartoon character. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
We designed it as a bright celebration: marigolds, sugar skulls, music and dancing, with no horror. You control every line of text, so you can make it as heartfelt as you like.
You choose the tone. Pick a silly ending like a dance party or a high five for something light, or a slow dance if you’re ready for the soppy stuff. Every line of text is editable.
Yes. The story climber lets you add milestones with a year and a caption, and (coming soon) optional cartoon memory scenes made from photos you have permission to use.
