As you all know I'm a HUGE sucker for games where you can customize little avatars. Miss Bimbo has managed to pull me in it's little web. I stumbled on this game as an advertisement on One Manga.
Your goal is to become the biggest Bimbo amongst thousands of other Bimbos. In order not to get lost amongst the massive sea of Bimbos you have to keep track of your Bimbo's stats. You have to make sure that your Bimbo is well hydrated, fed, maintains her ideal weight and the such to maintain her happiness. You can earn Bimbo attitude points by completing various games, goals, or challenges. You can earn Bimbo Dollars by getting a job, boyfriend, or buying them via PayPal.
The game is geared towards the preteen to midteen demographic. As one would guess its plastered with sparkles and neon pink. The games are basically new skinned versions of familiar casual games. You get your own (female) 2D avatar that you can customise like in popular casual games like Zwinky (but better drawn).
When I was playing this game it brought up an interesting thoughts about games geared towards females in general in general. Can games geared towards females contain more than rehashed older games? Should such a game that idealises such shallow ideals be geared towards such a impressionable audience?...but that's for another blog post...
