I wasn't going to download this game because I read the comments about it already and they speak for themselves, but my coworkers have started a flappy bird competition, and I got dragged into it. Anyway it's a dumb game but my high score is 28. 2nd place behind me has a high of 7

How did a ripoff of a 12+ year old flash game become so popular? I'm fairly sure even the "original" helicopter game already has an iPhone app that didn't do this well.

Probably the same way that Candy Crush seems to be the most popular game around even though it looks the same as Columns, or Collapse, or whatever those other games were.

42!

Its not an awful game at all. Its 100% skill based, playable anywhere with any amount of time, with zero time between tries. No logins, almost no ads. It'll keep me (and 10 million others) busy for a week.

want to lose 3 or 4 months of your life?

Bloons TD 5

There has to be at least 500 hours of gameplay and then they release major updates all the time. There is just no way to finish it all.

i was addicted to snood back in the day

Fuck this game. I can't get a single point.

Edit: OMG, got 2 points. I'm done. I'm going to consider myself to have beat this game.

i find that turning off the sound and holding my breath like a sniper helps.

i'm up to 19 now.

That game makes like 50k a day. I'm really in the wrong line of business. :hmm:

Need to start reading up on mobile development. Some of these games are so simple too.

Though I wonder how long till Nintendo sues them for using the same pipe as Super Mario.

My friends in Asia said the author of this game is a Vietnamese guy and he wrote the whole game in 3 days and now is raking in the bucks.

Downloaded the day before yesterday and got 36. Got 56 yesterday. Haven't played yet today.

It really doesn't seem to get harder so I could probably go all day with a little practice.

yup once you get the few tricks there are down it gets pretty easy, only thing that will mess you up is poor reaction time or brain farts.

It's on Android as well. My highest score is 18.

And it's better on Android. On my Note 3 I get the much more colorful version like iPad but the buttons are bigger and easier to press and it doesn't take me back to the title screen between rounds (less ads and less taps). I do lack the pause button though.
