The 19 year old app developer who made it was getting $50000 a day in as revenues apparently. Couldn't take the stress of it all

I'd never heard of it before this afternoon.

I'm sure we'll still be talking about it for [s]years[/s] days to come...

He's stressed over all the flak he's been getting over 'allegedly' faking five-star ratings, and has pulled it. He's still pulling in all the money, though...

Not sure he is; there's only a Google (default?) advert on there now rather than constantly rotating ads for other things.

A strange tale for sure. Will be interesting to see if any more details emerge...

(My best score is 37 btw. I'm crap and it's a VERY tough game!)

Yeah I almost did that! Doesn't take too long though for you to click with the rhythm of the game which makes it a lot easier to rack up the score. Proper old-school hard core gaming though, literally one mistake and you are done, game over!

It's been annoying me for weeks now. I got a 30 today though, It's VERY Nintendo inspired even down to the bird.

It seems the internet police are bidding these things up to stop people buying them.

You know what this is?

It's a marketing ploy. Pull it from the market, everyone goes mad for it. Clever.
