Description
Experience life on the street. Find cans, beg, and loot telephone booths for spare change.
I haven't worked much with flash, and didn't expect this game to get this far, so sorry about the lack of loading screen. Next time I will plan my project better.
How to Play
Arrow keys for movement.
Space bar for action.
-actions
Walk up to person and press space to beg
Stand in red square in front of building and press space to buy things
Stand in red square in front of phone booth and press space to check for coins
Stand over discarded soda can and press space to redeem for 5 cents.
Buying coffee mug or cardboard sign will increase chances and amount of money when begging.
Working out in the gym will increase your overall speed and strength.
Eating hotdog stand, fast food resturaunt or church supper will give you more energy which drains over time.
Developer Updates
When I first made this game I was inexperienced with flash enviroment. As I learn, I will try to fix up problems in my games.
Fixes
-sped the game up a bit
-got rid of annoying key lag
-put on preloader – but it doesn’t work as well as I would like, I will update when I get it right.

I actually the slowness and the monotony adds to the realism of the game. It's especially boring and frustrating when you're really slow from extreme hunger - very appropriate - and then you can't get to the church on time to get the free food - pathos! Then there's the daily grind of going round and round the subway station checking the phone boxes and living on bits of old chewing gum. You can feel the tragedy and frustration of being trapped in this kind of life.
It's got a great amount of atmosphere for such a basic game. Make sure not to lose that if you pimp the game up.

Definatly make a "The Bum 2". I thought it was given the name because he was a bum. Doesnt mean all homeless people are. Maybe he thinks of himself as a bum. Anyway needs more area and more to do. I liked the church giving food and there is a lot more you could do. Perhaps ending in getting a job or meeting a friend who takes you in. 4/5 for potential
