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.
Liked it a lot. Great concept and amazed this was made in 48 hours. Awesome.
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!
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.
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)
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!
Pretty confusing at first, but when you get used to it, this is fun :)
I love the music!
Very good idea, and well implemented. The humor is also great.
One of the best I played today, certainly!
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.
Very polished game, graphics are audio are great. Nicely done.
Pretty original idea, I enjoyed it! I found it extremely difficult though... maybe I'm just horrible at this game, haha.
Pretty impressive, awesome presentation! The mall part needs more challenge but overall this is great.
The mall part is a little bit to easy, but rest of the game is really awesome.
I laughed so hard,
I fed the tard,
in the end he's gotten even fatter~
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!
Fed! A good bit of challenge wrapped up in a funny plot :0)
Cool idea,would love to see it playable on web tho,but I really liked it.
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.
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.
EEEEEEH funny! The curled moustache brought disturbing to a whole new level..
Nice game. But it was difficult in the beginning to know who i was.
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
Your boyfriend is so ugly... What do you find him? You deserve better.
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...).
The graphics arnet the best but the game play is excellent good work!
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!
This got me laughing! It really reminds Wario Ware (which is great)!
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
Heheh, funny. Pretty polished overall, good graphics and music. Nice job!
Really funny game, i like the concept and the music. The graphics are also really great. good job guys!
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!
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 :)
I had to force myself to stop playing once I realized how much time had slipped away. It is just too great and addicting!
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 :)
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
This is a kooky, nutty game. Great job! That music is great too.
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!
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!
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.
Very good entry! Awesome graphics, good gameplay and original idea!
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
Hahaha, always great to play a game that includes huge disembodied heads! Had a blast! Great job!
Really nice pixel art style, love the look of it especially when I bump with ones in the mall. Congrats on nice work!
Can't...stop....playinnggg...! Super complete game for 48hrs! Nice work! Graphics are sweet!
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.
Love the alternating minigame style. It has a really good pace to it. The pixelart is fantastic, but that head is nightmare fuel! :D
Fantastic! 5/5. I love the upgrades. A lot of wonderful work in such a short period of time.
I loved the mini-game approach. Really polished entry. Fantastic !
Great graphics and sound and a great idea. Bit frustrating at times but I think that's partly due to the time constraints
Fat humour aside (I find it hurtful, since there's nothing wrong with being fat), this was very fun! 5stars
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
Equal parts bizarre and awesome. Great fun to play and the music is addictive!
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
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!
Lasted 14 rounds! Nice work! Great sounds, solid visuals, original concept! 9/10. Keep it up!

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
