There are approximately one billion games floating around the world wide web that have you hiting, shooting, or throwing an object as far as you possibly can. They're popular because of their fun simplicity, but at the same time any new game in the genre has its work cut out for it. At first The Flying Dog seems like a game that will consume quite a bit of your time; after all, it's all about using an elephant's trunk to smash a dog through the air. Who wouldn't love that? Unfortunately, its dead simple gameplay, lack of social features, and obtrusive ads make this a game good for little more than a few minutes of fun.
