It's so weird. I don't know if I would try it or not, I just can't wrap my head around what you're actually supposed to be doing or how.

Those Japanese are crazy.

I get the idea, but I have a feeling it's going to take some hands-on time to really grasp the concept.2009-02-19 14:14:00

I hear that. Hopefully, there will be some good reviews up either today or tomorrow to give us a good idea of what's in store.

I'm fascinated by this game simply because I simply can't figure out how it plays just by looking at the video on the PS blog...

lol

I will buy it simply because i'm a curious person and that I LOVE game design.

It's so weird and cheap that I will buy it.

I can't get it cause I don't have a Credit card and my brother won't lend me his. This angers and infuriates me.

Also how long is GIRL at the minute? Seen any bum-chinned men yet?

The only thing...correction..one of the things I don't understand about this game is when you enter the noby noby house and choose "new map" and it generates you a new random map...what dictates the new map you end up on..must be completely random? If so I expect there to be hundreds of different maps.2009-02-19 21:47:00

It is, it's completely randomised, so if you find a cool map and want to show anybody, it's best just to upload it to youtube.

Though if enough people keep playing it, the creator says he'll make DLC.

I have read a couple reviews for it now, and I have no idea what it is about! It seems the most crazy game ever, but do I want it? Hell yeah!2009-02-19 23:36:00

This section is probably the reason I might get this game.


Using the Sun as an intermediary, you can report the total number of metres you've stretched BOY to GIRL, who will grow by the same amount. It won't get her far - but everyone else playing the game is doing so too, and it's the cumulative amount of stretching done in Noby Noby Boy by PS3 users across the world that drives GIRL's voyage into the stars.

Eventually - Takahashi reckons it will take players a couple of weeks - she'll link Earth to the Moon, and then Mars. (Who knows if more planets in the solar system could be added at a later date?) Once she's got that far, these celestial bodies can be visited, bringing new sets of maps with even crazier toys and even stranger inhabitants. GIRL also serves as a global high-score table, ranking every player by the amount they've contributed to her solar-system-spanning stretch. Every ranked player gets their own procedurally-generated, yet unmistakably Takahashi-designed, avatar perched on GIRL's back, and there's a plethora of stats and records to browse. You can take video footage and upload it directly to YouTube, too.

Picked it up after reading the Eurogamer review last night. I didn't get to play it too much, but it gets a big thumbs up from me just for the creativity. Controls are intuitive enough and - even though they aren't necessarily the simplest set I've come across - the game handles beautifully. Knowing a lot of you, I'd say if you've got the extra cash and are even semi-interested then you should just go for it.2009-02-20 13:00:00

Has anybody tried the 2d minigame yet? It makes as much sense as the proper game itself.

Also the update in two months, think it'll add local co-op?

I have no idea what it'll add, but I know the creator is going to keep churning out updates as long as people are playing. Local co-op would be a really sweet feature; I think my wife might actually play this one.

After a few hours with the game I learn more and more to actually have some control over this creature when stretched. That makes it even more fun..2009-02-20 19:28:00

This is one of the strangest games I've ever seen. And I thought Katamari was strange! I was watching my husband play this last night, and I plan to try it out tonight. The little guys riding on eagles were hilarious. The one person was sweeping the eagle it was riding! lol!2009-02-20 19:32:00

Yeah it's in English.

Originally I was just like "Ehh what do I do?", but then it was 3 hours later and I needed to stop playing.

I thought this game was pretty bad for a while, but after about 20 mins I was having so much fun! People were running everywhere as I ate them, I started to eat such big things I felt bad for my lower body when it came out that end...

I am wasting HOURS on this thing! So insanely fun!

You stretch and eat things. Thats it.2009-02-21 09:02:00

You play as BOY and have to stretch and eat things and fire them out of your hind and stretch some more and then tell the sun you have stretched so GIRL will stretch too.

That's the game. Also the cool minigame.

Anyone know how to carry things? It says in the manual you use R2 or L2 but whenever I try I just eat it. 2009-02-21 11:49:00

Yeah I think carry is eat lol. I managed to stretch my boy to like 200 meters. The screen was completely zoomed out and I was literally drawing shapes in the air with my body 2009-02-21 12:19:00

Stretch BOY quite a bit and then twirl around say a tree before you drag it away. Try lifting houses etc. It's just a big mess of you don't know what you're doing fun.2009-02-21 12:34:00

Yeah is is actually possible! Im not sure of the mechanics exactly but I think if you eat increasingly larger things the BOYs head will become larger, and if you try at it, it is possible to eat HUGE things.

I played for several hours, And I made a couple funny vids, apparently people in the game like it when you are REALLY long, In one of the videos they all crowd around me and some start praying, so I ate them xD

I've bought the game and find it to be great. I'm pretty sure it's made by the same people as Katamari Daimacy, it has a very similar art style and execution, and the parent company is the same. It even has subtle references to it if you know the series.

I'll have to start sending messages to people on my friends list that have it. I've seen a few people that have the game now.

The maps seem to be completely random. I've only had relatively boring ones. The last one I was on had some sheep to play with, but I had to go before I could fully explore the posibilities.

It's just such a great random crazy game.

Yes it is made by the people who made Katamari Damacy. Try making your stomach completely empty, then eat one person, and one animal or fruit, and try pooping it out and see what happens :wink:

Hey guys n gals,

I'm trying to get a noby noby boy centric ste going at www.nobynobyboy.net (http://www.nobynobyboy.net). I'm thinking that I'll be extending the forums to allow people to track how much they've contributed. I'm also planning on adding stats and graphs about GIRLS growth, top contributors, and whatever else might be interesting.

Let me know if there's anything you think might make it more useful.

thanks

You should be ashamed of yourself for even comparing the two...

Seriously, folks, if you're interested by watching clips then just go with it; can't go wrong in my opinion.

I downloaded Noby Noby Boy the day it came out and I'm still not sure how I feel about it! There are times where I'm like "Why am I playing this?" and then thirty minutes later, I find myself still playing and still asking the same question.2009-02-25 03:09:00

This is me. I love this game, but at the same time I don't know why, and when I sit and think about it I think "no... no this game sucks!"

Then I play it for 4 more hours, lol @ it and go to bed with dreams of oddly erotic cartoon shows dancing in my head.
