So I guess they made enough money from it to give it free now?

What's wrong with just using the market to download it?

No problem here, Boss.

That's an interesting way to pull off a DDOS attack.

It's available on the market, as well. The catch is ads. There is an ad displayed at the bottom at the beginning of each level, but it goes away after a few seconds.

Awesome, "Getjar was the obvious choice", yeah, the obvious choice to overflood a server so no one can download it.

When I look for an app, I go to the Marketplace. Maybe Google's openness is lost on me here, but I didn't even know there were third-party app dealers for Android. Getjar? Never heard of it. Of course, the only third-party app I ever installed was Swype, and I only heard of that after multiple articles on various websites.

When releasing a Free game, why not use the Marketplace? Its not like Google can take a cut of $0. And who on an Android phone is going to think "hey, I wonder if they offer a Symbian version of this app"? Multiple websites? Ever heard of auto-detect and redirect? When I go to redbox.com, they point me to their Android-friendly website.

I love it when you pay for an app that's free a few days later. My iphone looks to be the last Apple product I buy for a long time...

@Toms: KILL THESE SPAMMERS ALREADY!

 

[cekasone]

Hell yea!! I just got my DROID X too

 

[jojesa]

It doesn't support QVGA resolution so not luck for HTC G1 (Dream)users.
It is a 12MB download but it needs around 45MB available space while installing.
It occupies 14MB of space after installation.
Great entertaining game though.

Proven? By who?

Must be so upsetting to you basement dwelling still at home with mom nerds when successful, well educated and highly intelligent people decide to buy an Apple product.

You do realize you got trolled right? That's not a hallmark of someone well educated or highly intelligent.

The troll, however, was successful.
