leafo 2013-08-26 02:43

erm woops, sorry. added windows build too

jqcoding 2013-08-26 05:28

Fun game, neat little concept. Hated the them so good job with it. Nice looking graphics too. A little hard to tell who is who at the beginning though.

daoyster 2013-08-26 06:46

Liked it a lot. Great concept and amazed this was made in 48 hours. Awesome.

donan 2013-08-26 07:03

Love the graphics style and the gameplay :D

magicdweedoo 2013-08-26 07:23

i <3 it

josefnpat 2013-08-26 07:26

Great job leafo!

I wish there was some indication that your "boytoy"'s food prefrence changes, and maybe some way to hover over the upgrades section, so you can see what they do before you select them.

Fantastic job!

pixel_phased 2013-08-26 07:34

Loved the graphics/humour. I agree it was a but hard to tell which one you were at the start, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. I liked the mix of minigames.

fullmontis 2013-08-26 08:21

Interesting idea, enjoyed the execution. Nice music too! (on a side note, thanks for Moonscript because it is the main reason I was able to complete my first LD48)

vrld 2013-08-26 10:50

What a great game. It's fun as hell, the graphics superb and the audio is really, really good. I'll go with the others: Fantastic job!

nikneym 2013-08-26 11:14

Good graphics, very funny game.

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 17:45

Pretty confusing at first, but when you get used to it, this is fun :)
I love the music!

pereubu 2013-08-26 17:49

that game is awesome D:
I have nothing more to say I think

diogomuller 2013-08-26 17:49

Very good idea, and well implemented. The humor is also great.

One of the best I played today, certainly!

sgehlich 2013-08-26 17:52

Awesome arcade game! :D

recursor 2013-08-26 18:37

I think this guy should get his own food. All he does is puke and sit around. This is a weird game concept, and very well put together. Sounds and music goes well with the graphics and gameplay.Very nice job.

blackbulletiv 2013-08-26 21:54

Very polished game, graphics are audio are great. Nicely done.

bipolarmike 2013-08-26 22:44

Pretty original idea, I enjoyed it! I found it extremely difficult though... maybe I'm just horrible at this game, haha.

h_double 2013-08-27 00:12

Pretty impressive, awesome presentation! The mall part needs more challenge but overall this is great.

wulo 2013-08-27 00:35

The mall part is a little bit to easy, but rest of the game is really awesome.

liannethy 2013-08-27 00:55

I laughed so hard,
I fed the tard,
in the end he's gotten even fatter~

chrisamaphone 2013-08-27 01:39

hahaha perfect

lcass 2013-08-27 01:54

funny as hell!

5outh 2013-08-27 02:05

This game is amazing! I think you did a great job fitting all of these features in in 48 hours. It's super polished and really funny!

tanser 2013-08-27 02:54

I like the graphics, max for humor and fun though! Good job.

matthewvermaak 2013-08-27 04:18

Fed! A good bit of challenge wrapped up in a funny plot :0)

tamy 2013-08-27 04:38

Cool idea,would love to see it playable on web tho,but I really liked it.

2013-08-27 04:54

Wonderful idea, really nailed the theme! Graphics are beautiful, game is humorous, but as said before, in the mall it is difficult to see the player at first. Overall, fantastic.

permanente1600 2013-08-27 05:04

Really funny art. I liked the baseball bat element.

_alts 2013-08-27 06:22

Really great game. Also rather hard. I ended up waiting during the feeding stage until the very end, and would just feed one item. Maybe not the best strategy, but the satisfaction level decreases so fast that it's not worth wasting food earlier. Fantastic music.

theholychicken 2013-08-27 06:37

EEEEEEH funny! The curled moustache brought disturbing to a whole new level..

szedouu 2013-08-27 07:09

I love this game, best entry so far. GJ!

timtipgames 2013-08-27 08:08

Very entertaining and nice graphics!

udrian 2013-08-27 08:27

Nice game. But it was difficult in the beginning to know who i was.

firezenk 2013-08-27 09:07

Overall good game

01101101 2013-08-27 10:24

Nice job! i had a fun time playing this :D

motty 2013-08-27 10:58

Great little game - fun and funny.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 11:39

This is a pretty cool little game! I enjoyed it loads and I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmE1DEkQd4

headless-hobo 2013-08-27 12:01

Fun game and awesome concept

nsun 2013-08-27 12:53

Your boyfriend is so ugly... What do you find him? You deserve better.

niavlys 2013-08-27 13:04

I'm not rating right now, because I can't throw the food with 1, 2 and 3. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a problem with my computer, since I use multiple keyboard layouts (but I'm sure I start the game after having switched to qwerty...).

tainted_code 2013-08-27 13:13

Wow, AMAZING for 48 hours! :O

lcass 2013-08-27 14:13

The graphics arnet the best but the game play is excellent good work!

maxking1234 2013-08-27 14:46

Great game, very funny

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 15:31

Now I'm hungry.

diptoman 2013-08-27 16:13

Haha, loving the novel theme! The graphics were awesome! But just found I had nothing to do if I never reached a store in 10 seconds(blame my pro skills :P)
Great job on this!

gabriel 2013-08-27 17:00

This got me laughing! It really reminds Wario Ware (which is great)!

almax27 2013-08-27 17:33

Awesome, love the game.

Your boyfriend looks like the guy from League of Gentlemen! Sexy http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/clip/p006vm6j_640_360.jpg

puzzlem00n 2013-08-27 17:38

Heheh, funny. Pretty polished overall, good graphics and music. Nice job!

cmdbrewsky 2013-08-27 18:45

Really funny game, i like the concept and the music. The graphics are also really great. good job guys!

angrygeometry 2013-08-27 18:46

this game is wild, i love it

voltorben 2013-08-27 19:12

holy crap! What a weird game! Loved it :D
Really liked the graphics and the audio. Really well polished. And the game mechanics were good too.
I think you are thrown a little fast into it, but i guess you'll get the hang of it after the first try.
Great entry!

johnathan 2013-08-27 20:01

haha, this is awesome. great work leafo!

char68 2013-08-27 20:54

Really enjoyed this! I'm not sure how it would feel were I to play this game until I had all the upgrades, but I grabbed maybe 6 or 7 and had a lot of fun while doing so. The absurdity was awesome, controls felt great too (although bumping into people was SUPER frustrating, i'm sure it was intentional). I'm looking forward to seeing more of this style of game in future LDs :)

seeminglypointless 2013-08-27 21:05

I had to force myself to stop playing once I realized how much time had slipped away. It is just too great and addicting!

catmoo 2013-08-27 22:27

I really enjoyed it, although all those stupid people in the mall kept getting in my way :p

Great little game, although the instructions on the second portion of the game were worded a little confusingly.

Otherwise great game visually, musically and gameplay wise too as it was different :)

kunonooni 2013-08-27 22:38

Well done! Very Addictive :)

zlowrance 2013-08-27 23:24

Lol great job, VERY original!

cafeine 2013-08-27 23:33

Oooooh very good! For maximum brain stimulation I suggest playing this one before Boyfriend Simulator: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=25127

andrewshouldice 2013-08-27 23:44

This is a kooky, nutty game. Great job! That music is great too.

wertle 2013-08-28 04:10

Really fun core loop and once I figured out the knocking food with the bat that part was pretty fun. It took me several tries to figure it out, though. Even though there are text instructions, when under time pressure you forget everything x_x Good job!

23 2013-08-28 13:56

The graphics and music were really polished and the concept was good, but it felt really unfair when I failed. Sometimes all three stores would be closed, and the delay for switching to a different food when feeding felt like too much. Did enjoy it though!

kevinzuhn 2013-08-28 18:04

Well that was hilarious and strange! Once I figured out what was going on, I really enjoyed batting food into his maw. I found the shopping segment a bit more frustrating, what with all the people in my way and the shops randomly closing! But it was a pretty fun game overall.

jlauener 2013-08-28 19:09

Very good entry! Awesome graphics, good gameplay and original idea!

klianc09 2013-08-28 21:09

Finally got every upgrade. The Satisfaction-Meter drained to fast in later levels, so it isn't worth batting anything in his mouth except towards the end (maybe make the player lose if he doesn't feed him anything for, say 4 seconds)(also I'm not sure, what the actual lose condition is). At first maxing Fiber and Bartering is important, to maximize the money output. I had like 700$ all the time. I really liked how when you max Organisation that you can bat multiple food items at him at once, which balanced it again a little bit.
In the end, I guess I spend more time on this than I should have... and I guess this is a good thing :D

beardogames 2013-08-28 21:40

Hahaha, always great to play a game that includes huge disembodied heads! Had a blast! Great job!

pinktreeleaf 2013-08-28 23:29

fun and hard. i would suck at having a boyfriend :D

haxpor 2013-08-28 23:41

Really nice pixel art style, love the look of it especially when I bump with ones in the mall. Congrats on nice work!

sephiroth87 2013-08-29 00:07

Funny game, great concept

finnegan2100 2013-08-29 06:06

Can't...stop....playinnggg...! Super complete game for 48hrs! Nice work! Graphics are sweet!

norgg 2013-08-29 13:02

Brilliant. My thoughts as I played through this:

"Why won't it ever stop?"
"Oh, because life. :("

Tactics for later rounds: wait until the last second and then stuff as much food in at once as possible.

Alternative tactic: just keep your money for yourself and ignore him.

gritfish 2013-08-29 13:24

Love the alternating minigame style. It has a really good pace to it. The pixelart is fantastic, but that head is nightmare fuel! :D

musket 2013-08-29 18:51

Fantastic! 5/5. I love the upgrades. A lot of wonderful work in such a short period of time.

kohijin 2013-08-29 22:07

Very funny and creative + nice execution!

hypnohustla 2013-08-30 09:21

Nice and polished game! Addicting as hell too. Great job!

jujule 2013-08-30 19:14

I loved the mini-game approach. Really polished entry. Fantastic !

georgebroussard 2013-08-31 06:58

Very nice and polished. Funny.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-31 09:15

Great graphics and sound and a great idea. Bit frustrating at times but I think that's partly due to the time constraints

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-31 13:02

Fat humour aside (I find it hurtful, since there's nothing wrong with being fat), this was very fun! 5stars

otus 2013-08-31 16:58

What a great concept xD
I really like how varied the gameplay is! And it even has upgrades!

Very nice work! Keep expanding upon this game! :D

latcarf 2013-08-31 17:18

Weird game, but well done.

garethiw 2013-08-31 21:30

Equal parts bizarre and awesome. Great fun to play and the music is addictive!

headchant 2013-08-31 21:47

That's a lot of vomit. (great game!)

cappelnord 2013-09-01 17:48

ha, excellent!

integershift 2013-09-01 18:34

The game was okay, but the boyfriend looks weird :P

gatechgrad 2013-09-01 19:23

Neat game. In the later levels it seemed like the satisfaction rating went down so fast that feeding really didn't make a difference. It also would have been nice to have descriptions on the upgrade screen (before purchase). My final score: Earned 627; fed 61 times; lasted 19 rounds

iiechapman 2013-09-02 17:45

Very well polished game. The pixel art is charming. The theme is well executed to switch between the two mini games. Love the little oddities, like the boyfriends mouth and eyes movement. Enjoyed this one!

GreyShock 2013-09-02 21:07

Hahaha very funny! Great job!

kristof 2013-09-05 10:43

Very funny and well executed game! Great work!

mrblade 2013-09-16 03:22

Lasted 14 rounds! Nice work! Great sounds, solid visuals, original concept! 9/10. Keep it up!
