Its really cheap..

So?

If it was so bad then people would tell others to... You know, not download it?

If it was so bad it wouldn't go from 100 Million in March to 140 Million by May.

Face it. Your opinion on the game isn't fact. It's fun. It's addictive. It sells extremely well.


fair enough  >_<

He who hesitates is lost

50cent cheeseburgers sell a shitload more than gormet food. Nothing surprising at all here.

 

Congratulations to Angry Birds for what it's done though, and like badgenome said, I feel bad for the creator(s) of Crush the Castle. They got their idea completely ripped off.

Yet I bet it still hasn't reached 100 million in revenue


If it hasn't yet, it will soon.

Here's an article from back in March:

http://www.businessinsider.com/rovio-angry-birds-accel-2011-3

"Rovio revenue is thought to be $50-70 million from app sales and licensing and the company is profitable."

That was two months and 40 million downloads ago.

Angry Birds is getting an animated TV show. It really is the Super Mario Bros. of smartphone gaming.

well that is just fan-damn-tastic for Rovio. i personally find the game to be a very boring rip off of Crush the Castle. i played a few times, then it just sat in my phone for about 3 weeks before i deleted it to make room for better games(IMO). i guess i just dont see the appeal...

lol so true, that's what happen when you don't sellout, somebody else copy your game and make a killing with it



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Don't sell out? I don't follow you here. Crush the Castle is available on the App Store for $0.99, just like Angry Birds. Seems to sell fairly well, too.

Angry Birds is simply the better game. It has the same basic mechanics, sure, but Rovio added a lot more polish and tons more charm. It has better physics, better interaction... I can't think of a single thing that Crush the Castle does better. Why shouldn't it sell better?

sorry didn't know it was for sell too, but i remember playing the game for free on newground.com a few years back

Screw the haters. Angry Bird is pretty fun.

Crush the Castle 2 is better though.



Pixel Art can be fun.

good time killer, nothing more.
