January is long, grey and cold. Cheer your boyfriend up with a cosy game full of hot chocolate and suspicious snowmen. 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 Winter theme. Your boyfriend dodges icicles and snowmen, grabs hot chocolate, 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
One tap to play, so your boyfriend can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 2
For when your boyfriend deserves 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 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 Winter 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.
No reason needed. A silly game in the middle of January is one of the best pick-me-ups going.
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.
