Simulator of the life of the hobo.

• Get drunk and achieve the maximum popularity!
• Search for coins on the streets, wash cars, fight other hobos, rob strangers and banks!
• Open your office or start your own startup!
• Make the most money in the shortest time! Compete with your friends!

Almost every event in this game happens randomly.
Every move equals one day. Every day your health, happiness and satiety decrease.
If your health, happiness or satiety will drop to zero, you have 7 days to improve the situation, otherwise you will die.
Every year you will celebrate your birthday and get presents.
Every day you have a chance to find empty bottles and then sell them.

Sooner or later your hobo will die from old age. To avoid that, you can buy an immortality pill. Note that it DOES NOT protect you from dying from hunger, sickness, unhappiness or poverty.

If you play this game on the iPhone, the menu is opened by swiping right. You can also switch categories using two-finger vertical scrolling.

You can backup your game using iTunes file sharing.

Pros and cons of Hobo Simulator app for iPhone and iPad

Hobo Simulator app good for

This is the best game when you dont have wifi and are bored af, this is a genius game for stupid people.
I love the game but it can be hard at first my advice is to keep trying because youll eventually get it right!!!!
Journal of a person who played hobo stimulator Day 1: hmm this game seems fun Day 2: how the hell do I make money Day 3: I decided to look it up Day 4: I now understand everything Day 5: I cant stop playing Day 6: I couldnt sleep for the whole week send help 0-0
This game isnt just a game you can open and beat you actually have to put forth effort and though to succeed
The most compelling part of this game is at the beginning when survival conditions are not clear yet and impending death is constant. Past ~28 years old, the progression is fairly linear. The end-game arrives at mid-30s after buying the immortality pill and achieving maximum 1 trillion popularity. I arbitrarily kill in-game days now going on runs, getting drunk in a bar, and robbing the bank as president while waiting for the next exchange rate fluctuation to grow my wealth another 6% (hit $1.2T/P60T at 35years; Im curious as to what getting pension at 60 does but Im immortal). Past a critical threshold, no actions besides currency exchange can significantly add/subtract wealth (even IRS -70% on $10T leaves $3T, still 4 orders of magnitude greater than most expensive item). Crime actions dont have negative consequences, and yet they return faster cash than the more "earnest" jobs. Thus, I think this game could have more replay value at higher ages if a tactically wrong action could potentially take away all of the amassed wealth. Organizing a revolution also makes no sense without a trade-off at {$10M + 10M popularity} as it essentially gives a player 100% chance of becoming president. Most players attempting a revolution will already have presidential status since it is achievable at approximately {$3.5M + 3M popularity} (senator + def + finance + election * 2 = $3.5M).
You just have to find ways to live as a hobo. Simple but hard.

Some bad moments

The hobo dies way too quickly and easily. Its annoying that you have to keep starting all over again from the beginning. Got tired and deleted this game.
But when your money goes - u cant earn any money it just crashes the game
I was playing the game and I got married and everything bugged out. I couldnt work and or make money so I died
This is a good game but at a point it crashes and erased all of my progress. Broken. Im not sure if its intentional but it kinda ruined the game to me. Would rate highly if the bugs were fixed.
Ok so I think this game is a very well made game and goes into depth as a homeless person working to get your life on track. The problem that destroys the games fun is the glitch. At one point in the game I have somewhere around P450000000 money. And when I had full everything (Health, Hunger, Happiness the game crashed 2-5 times and said I died out of nowhere. Please fix.
This is a great game and I was having a lot of fun with it until it crashed and everything messed up. All of my progress had been lost, my money went into the negatives, and if I tried to continue playing it crashed the game again. It was fun until it was rendered unplayable.
