No matter what your thoughts are on the odd little game that is Noby Noby Boy you have to agree that Noby Noby Girl is one of the coolest community features in gaming around. See, as Noby Noby Boy eats in the game Noby Noby Girl grows longer and longer into outer space, and her growth is affected by every person who plays the game. She's pretty long now; so long, in fact, that she has reached Jupiter, which is 576,682,810 miles away from Earth.
A random multiplier was added to everyone playing the game recently, which helped Noby Noby Girl reach the planet, but it still took a lot of game time to get her there. Did you help out or have you not returned to the charming land of Noby Noby Boy recently? If not, now is the perfect time to do it as a new planet has been unlocked thanks to Girl reaching Jupiter. You can check it out below in video form.

So whatever happened to the whole, "No, we're not going to help people, maybe they'll never get to the end of the solar system." thing? Still...I'll check it out later. I always end up spending more time than I expect playing it.
At first I was surprised that we've already hit Jupiter, but I guess it makes more sense to add a multiplier so that people hit the other planets before the game is no longer even remotely relevant.
I guess I'll check it out today. I used to play it everyday, but it slowly became apparent that not many people cared about GIRL once the game started applying massive multipliers to our lengths.
Noby Noby Boy, I love that this game was able to be made, let alone sold on PSN. It's amazing. Sure it makes no sense at first but take long enough to understand it's subtle charm and you'll be hooked. You'll even like the dodgy camera and annoying sound effects when you make him fly/jump/eat eventually... Well I guess it's not a definite thing but I certainly took a little while to get into the game.
Too bad, like J Holmes, my PS3 decided to shit the proverbial bed with the YLoD. SPeaking of YLoD, that problem is pretty big with the original model PS3's. Everyone who has an original model that I know (including myself) has eventually had YLoD in the 3 years since launch.

What happens when we get to Neptune? Or Pluto if you are still fighting to make Pluto a planet again?
looks very addictive gameplay, hope theres a demo first
...Noby Noby Boy's been out forever already. I doubt they'd release a demo after all this time.
Neat that they put a multiplier in there, now I actually feel like I'm contributing to Girl when I play now.

Hmm. Oh well. Maybe I'll fire it up again to see how much I can throw down.
Noby Noby Boy is like.. what.. $8? It doesn't need a demo. Just beat up a kid or two and take their money.
