Of the 3,000 up there, only 2 have sold and that was at 0700 this morning! Imagine how excited the person is who has a 6 digit bid on their item only to have the winner not pay!
 
I don't see why this game way so popular, is it not just the same mechanics as iCopter or whatever it's called?

The title sounds like some sort of Angry Birds clone or successor. I only knew of the name today because it was on the radio earlier and they're saying that Flappy Birds has been pulled off the app market.

What's this Candy Crush I keep hearing about? It looks like Bejewelled, but I can't play Bejewelled. Although it's showing up as free in the app market, it then goes to say that it's not available in the UK! So I settled for a clone called Disney's Frozen Free Fall.

Is this to do with Flappy Birds creator Dong Nguyen announcing he is pulling the game?

Seems to be scope for an epic tabloid headline for this*

"Dong Pulls Flappy Birds"

"Flappy Dong Ends"

"Dong Turns Off Flappy Birds"

etc.

*probably won't scan so well in Vietnam though

The game is only popular because of the controversy it's caused with people raging due to it being stupidly hard to play. Irritating controls + instant death = frothing 10 year olds on a rampaging fit. Those two bad gameplay factors are just a recipe for ultimate disaster if your target audience is those who are only use to games that make it easy to be a winner. If it weren't for that it'd most likely just have fallen under the radar into the mediocre pit with the thousands of other 'flash like' game clones.

It's caused a media frenzy like most retarded stuff does but I guess he made a nice chunk out of it. Don't know if that's worth the infamy that comes with it though.
 
I don't get the hype around this game, It's modeled on decades old games, rips Mario's pipes and isn't that addictive.

So whats the actual highest a phone with this on has sold for? I think most these phones won't actually sell but I expect more media hype going on about it...
