Flappy bird is one of the most annoying, derivative, joyless mobile experiences you'll ever play. About a month from now, the maker of the app will have made enough money to buy a McLaren P1.
I'm in the wrong goddamn business. And so are you.

I've got four or so good ideas for phone games that I haven't seen tapped yet on the markets.
I just need to get my android coding up to par, and resist the urge to stab myself in the face when I think about how I'm going to work micro-transactions into them.

It's a 'game' in the same way a plate of salt is 'food'.

My friends are obsessed with this. They were arguing the other day about who was the best at it. I got sick of it, and decided to show them once and for all who is best! I love photoshop.

Can I buy into this? Become a financial backer during development for a cut of the profits?

Sure, you just have to deal with the moral and ethical issues of monetizing a game to suck as much cash out of the players as possible. If you can leave your soul at the door, that'll be great.
But at least when the masses ask you : 'How do you sleep at night?' You can reply with 'On a large pile of money surrounded by naked women.'

lol.
My employee just got a Note, and on that big ass screen he got to 52.
On my small ass screen I got to 16.
I think the bigger the screen the easier it is.

I got 64 today =] I'm so proud of myself. The first day I downloaded it I couldn't get past 3, got pissed off for a week, and then went back to it and got 20 something. It get's easier.

Hahahaha, you don't sell rights to Zynga. They clone your game and sue you for infringing.

My wife's been playing this one, but I can't get into it.

It's true, I took that screenshot on an iPad mini. The highest my friends have gotten on their iPhones is 17, but on my mini I got to 25.

Yeah, I was kidding. I'm just not a fan of Zynga and their business practices.

Oh me neither. I hate Zynga. But if they can get me my Scrooge McDuck pool...
