New year, new you? Nah. New game, same your boyfriend, now in cartoon form. 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 New Year theme. Your boyfriend dodges hangover clouds, grabs champagne and clock pieces, and the game finishes with a fireworks 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.
