Sometimes a card isn’t enough. Say thank you to your best friend with a game that makes them laugh out loud. You and your best friend have survived bad haircuts, worse exes and that one holiday. Celebrate with a game starring the pair of you.
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 group hug 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
The quickest way to get your best friend hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.

Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your best friend have revenge.
Sample lines
Idea 3
Proper retro adventure energy, with your best friend stomping baddies on the way to the boss.
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.
The ending message holds up to 160 characters, and you can add more lines through story milestones and dialogue.

Not at all. A thank-you game on a random Tuesday is the best kind.
