Just started up Noby Noby Boy and it looks like Girl reached Neptune. Only Pluto left now (does it still count?)

That means people are still playing Noby Noby Boy... I don't know what to think about that.

Does the iOS app still work?
The description on the app store says otherwise.

How... could you not notice someone reaching Uranus?
Same here...
I like that this game is still going. Fired it up the other day and noticed the progress too... Or maybe that was for the previous planet? I forget which it was.
I think they have been (understandably) using some ridiculously high multipliers since the first few planets were reached to keep things moving. There can't be that many people still playing.

They must have snuck through.

HEY OH
Neptune is the final planet in the Solar System. Pluto is just a hunk or ice rock in an odd orbit.
I also cannot believe people are still playing Noby Noby Boy. I had fun with it, but just for a few hours.
Did they find Chocolate Logs in there?

It seems like the first time you report your length a day the fairy-thingy? said it's in and good mood a multiplies the length by 2013.
It's still an accomplishment as based on the stats it reports only 30 or so people play on the weekdays with it going past 50 on the weekend. The highest person yesterday reached over 12 million in length. Which they seem to do everyday by himself/herself.

Put simply, it's a game where you move this weird worm creature around and stretch it. Everyone's total distance stretched is added together into a single large worm creature that is stretching across the galaxy. If I stretch a mile in the game, the larger creature stretches a mile.
They need to stretch the ACTUAL distances of the planets.

Love this game, usually play it while waiting for a game to download from PSN.
Didn't Takahashi have a game being released part of a kickstarter project?

You expand dong in randomly generated environments.

Amazing journey. Never though they would go that far. I guess they used multiplier to achieve this
Woah. Stopped playing when we reached Jupiter. This is awesome.
Reaching Pluto will be life-changingly amazing by any definition.

Just the solar system, not the galaxy
He's doing god's work
I played the other day.
It's not so much a game, more an interactive toy. With an awful camera.
You control the titular Boy with dual sticks. Left stick moves one end of him, the right stick the other. He stretch out between each end. You can use this to loop around things and do other stuff. You play on a randomly generated box like level.
Outside of seeing how long you can make him, there's no score, no points, no goals. Just fannying about.
Each time you play, the max length you got the Boy is added to the world wide total. The total length of which has now got to Neptune.
Feel free to correct me if I've got anything wrong, as all this is from my hazy memory of it. I bought it when it first came out on PS3, played it a couple of times, WTF'd hard at the screen each time, then never touched it again.

It's my 5 year old son's favourite game.
I'm sure he's not making a significant contribution to Girl's length or anything, but it's a bright and colourful game with no explicit rules, objectives or fail-states - just an absurd sandbox that's perfect for kids to go nuts in. He'll often cry with laughter watching Boy slingshot around the level, with an alien on a bike and a watermelon his back. The game is fucking nuts, and appeals to his sense of humour.
Who knows, maybe there's a secret army of 5 year olds keeping this game going.
That sounds adorable.

I love this fucking game. Whenever I would show someone the PS3 I would break this out and watch their jaw drop, then they'd spend several hours completely entertained by it.
I mean a few hours is all anyone can really get out of it, but it's a great toy and I still boot it from time to time.

I have no idea why I laughed at this as hard as I did.
