Apparently, not only does Noby Noby Boy, the new PSN game by the designer of Katamari, eat weird looking
people and giant basketballs and reindeer and robots, but he eats time too.
You'll have to excuse me, much of what I am about to say may not make much sense. I'm under the influence
of digital insanity, but it's not the bad kind.
I swear I had been playing it for maybe 20 or 30 minutes, but the clocks tell me differently. "One and a half
hours!" They say. WTF?
I don't have time to go into the game deep because I have this sudden hunger that I much quench with either a
ham sandwich or maybe a bicycle, but I will say that, in my opinion, Noby Noby Boy is a must buy, but the
weird thing is that if I tell you why, or talk about it too much, it won't be the same for you.
And for five bucks?
The great thing about the game is just exploring it. Everything is charming. The tutorial at the beginning. The
game manual. Every inch of it is drenched in this curious coating of fun. Weird, bizarro fun, but still fun. And
the gameplay is just amazing. The rules are set out in front of you, but not everything is dropped at once, so
you have time to come to terms with how the game works at your own pace. I love how they let me tinker
with things, it was so much more rewarding than telling me what to do and then I follow the directions.
I will say that the community aspects of the game were a complete surprise to me. I wasn't expecting the "lets
work together" attitude. The idea that everyones progress is added together is really neat, and I like that I don't
really know what that means just yet, or where things are headed.
Or where Girl is headed. She wants to connect the planets, apparently, but I think secretly she wants to
connect us as gamers and that is really interesting.
I'm not going to say any more. Go explore it for yourself. Trust me, it is worth the measly five bucks. They
could have charged ten for it easy, and I would have been totally satisfied. It's really cool that they gave it to
us for cheaper.
Also, if you have the game and want to be noby noby friends, add me, PSN: NEScrozen

i cant wait to jump into this tomorrow. have you tried the message feature where it shows up on your BOY?
@ FETUSMILK
Yeah. I wrote some shit on myself. Can you write on your friends as well? I think the weird elf fairy thing said I could at some point, but I didn't try that yet. There were like 3 other people on my list but I think we were all too captivated by exploring the gameplay to mess with the community options.
I do know that every time I pick it back up I think of something else to try. I haven't made a video yet, but I took some screenshots and that worked really well. I'm gonna mess with the video thing tomorrow.
This sounds like the weird dream that doesn't make sense but you wish you had every night. AT $5 I'll probably jump on it.
Wait, how are you playing this game now? I'M SO JEALOUS!
And please add me, Tronknotts.
GOOD LORD YOU FOUND A... TIME PARADOX!
@ JONATHAN HOLMES
I work at home, so I just brought the laptop into the living room and refreshed the store like every 15 minutes. It went live around 6:30pm est. I live in northern ky, if location has anything to do with it.
I'll add you as soon as hell's kitchen is over.
@ SNAKEDUDE4LIFE
Yeah, thanks to Noby Noby Boy I've started aging backwards and have switched to a strict diet of giant plastic carrots and soccer balls.
CRAP! I gotta go see if I can buy it now too!
Thanks for the heads up!
i think you might be on my psn list if im correct. im brandnewkirk on PSN. i will be playing this tomorrow. ill try and send some noby noby messages if your on
@ JONATHAN HOLMES
Right on, man. Hope you can DL it. It's a good time.
Also, I added you so I'll be seeing you around,
@ FETUSMILK
Oh yeah. You're on my list. I'll probably keep it up while I work tomorrow. If you leave it running the noby noby boy takes control of himself, so it is kinda like an interactive screen saver. Also, it is pretty funny if you leave him to his own design and come back in the room like 5 minutes later to find that he has wrecked the whole fucking village on his own! LOL
This game is the weirdest thing i have ever played. I fucking love it
It ate my time too! I love it! Awesome random things. Also my Noby Noby Boy snapped! I laughed my ass off!
@ ICEMAX
The fucking weirdness mixed with the addictive gameplay is a winning combination. It is so refreshing. I'm trying to give it a bit more time before I start gushing about how much I love this game, but it's hard to NOT talk about it.
@ TAKESHI
Dude, I know what you are saying.
Mine snapped once too and all the shit I had eaten looked like it came shitting out of the wound and flying everywhere.
Also, I haven't been able to recreate it yet, but I swear I ate my own ass at one point. Do you know how awesome it is that I actually get to type "I swear I ate my own ass at one point."? I mean, I never thought those words would ever come from my fingertips. But when I did eat my own ass, it made some kind of crazy bonus sound or something, and then either I grew a new ass or pooped my ass out at which point it rejoined. I don't know what happened because I was all zoned out when it happened.
I suddenly sat up and screamed "I just ate my own ass!" And my girlfriend ran in, a bit confused. I forgot to warn her I was playing a fucked up game.
This is a general warning for all playing. Don't take drugs while playing this. You start to wonder if you are imagining half the shit you are seeing. Not that I take drugs or anything. But this dude I know, he played it under the influence and got really confused.
This game makes me happy. I spent too much time eating the manual.
@ SHIPERO
Im making it a rule right now. All games have to have manuals now. And they have to be edible. It is a rule. I can't believe I'm still playing this game. I just keep thinking of stuff I want to try or just getting caught up in eating stuff. I like pooping cars.
Hell, I need this game.
Edible manuals? Eating time?
Yes please.
This game is fucking awesome. Me and Necrozen shared messages, I wrote penis all over his noby noby, was pretty funny.
@ THECLEANINGGUY
Don't forget eating butts. Your butt. Other people's butts. Oh, and the randomness of the little people walking around.
This one dude kept trying to jump on a unicycle that was propped against a tree, only he would jump too high and hit his head on the foliage every time. I swear he tried for like 10 minutes, and I watched him the whole time. When I got bored watching him, I ate him. Then I ate the unicycle.
@ CHRONOSWING
Dude we did have a wicked good time. I popped some rockin tunes on the custom soundtrack and we just fucked around. I liked how it got me involved with what everyone else was doing.
Overall, I love the game. We'll see how it holds up over time, but so far I love it.
