Say goodbye to Flappy Bird: Creator says he’s taking the game down
By Jim Squires
If you haven't gotten around to downloading Flappy Bird yet, you'd better get on that. By this time tomorrow, the app will be gone.Creator Dong Nguyen broke the news on Twitter less than an hour ago. While no specific reason has been given, it seems as though the overwhelming success/press coverage/hatred that the game has seen over the last few weeks has broken the man down completely."I am sorry Flappy Bird users. 22 hours from now, I will take Flappy Bird down," says Nguyen. "I just cannot take this anymore."In the tweets that followed, Nguyen goes on to say that it's not related to any legal issues, he's not looking to sell Flappy Bird, and that he still makes games.I suppose that overwhelming success really is overwhelming.Browser Pick: Atomic Creep Spawner
During the frosty winter days of December 2012, French game developer Sébastien Bénard spent one full weekend focused on developing Atomic Creep Spawner in forty-eight hours for the Ludum Dare 25 game jam. Bénard submitted his game for the competition event and ended up winning first place in Best Game Overall, Most Fun, and Best Graphics. Atomic Creep Spawner was a runaway hit, and lucky for gamers, is free to play on Bénard's personal website.Games developed during Ludum Dare 25 had to follow the theme "You Are The Villain," and in keeping with that, Atomic Creep Spawner tasks players with spawning dungeon minions in an attempt to keep the hero from collecting treasure and destroying evil artifacts. The game has only two levels, but I had enough fun my first time through that I immediately restarted the game over again.Classroom Aquatic: The world’s first stealth trivia game
Those of us who attended school in a traditional classroom setting know the feeling all too well —glancing over one's shoulder to sneak a peek at a neighbor's test paper, a quick glance up to make sure the teacher was preoccupied, and then a side-long stare in an attempt to catch a glimpse at the smart kid's answer. It's almost a rite of passage. Game developer Sunken Places is attempting to turn that sensation into a videogame with Classroom Aquatic.To make things interesting, the classroom in Classroom Aquatic is, well...aquatic. As a foreign exchange student in a classroom full of dolphins, players must cheat their way through an impossibly-hard exam that they are in no way ready to take. Avoid getting caught cheating three times while getting all the answers correct on the test and the player beats the level.Starbound devs announce new title in development
Amidst the continual development of outer space collect-em-up, Starbound developer Chucklefish Games has revealed they are in the process of assembling a new team to work on the studio's next game. A recent blog post on Starbound's website explained that the development team has recently acquired a legitimate office flat and are looking to expand the team in order to facilitate the demand that developing a second game will put on the existing team."This won't slow down the production of Starbound at all, worry not," assures Chucklefish Games designer Finn "Tiy" Brice. "I will be assisting in the design but we'll be working with entirely new developers. At the moment we're still in the stage where we're kicking around ideas, one that keeps popping up is a top down, open world, multiplayer pirate game."Brice urges that interested game developers should send in their applications. He also hints that the next game has the possibility of being a, "top down, open world, multiplayer pirate game."Read the full blog post, on Starbound's official website.Hate Flappy Bird? Play these brutally difficult games instead
By Jim Squires
Tell me if this sound familiar: Everybody you know is talking about Flappy Bird, so you gave it a download. Two minutes later, you erased it from your phone (along with the contact information of everybody you know who recommended the damned thing).You like a good challenge, but you'd prefer something with a little more polish. A little more substance. Something that you'd be proud recommending, but at the same time, something that will kill you in seconds without hesitation. Something that keeps you coming back for more. Worried you won't find anything that's both difficult and divine? Don't worry - we've got you covered.Free Games and Sales: Star Thief, Stellar Wars and more!

Here's a question for everyone reading right now: if you were stranded on a deserted island for a year and could only bring three video games with you to help pass the time, which ones would you choose? I forgot to mention that the deserted island conveniently has a fully charged iPad on the beach and a higher-end gaming PC made out of coconuts and palm trees.Well as for me, I would probably bring a handful of great iOS games, a couple of my favorite Double Fine adventures, and maybe even a bundle of indie games or two as well. Okay, so I guess that was WAY more than three games. But at least it's a good thing that we're not stranded on a deserted island, and that all of these things and more are currently experiencing some awesome price cuts all across the internet!"And as always, if your deserted island happens to come with a really long extension cord or some extra-large data storage capacity, please let us know of any other gaming deals we may have missed this week down in the replies!Red Bouncing Ball Spikes jumps to number two paid position in App Store. But, we’re suspicious.
By Joel Brodie
For the second time in less than a week, a game from an unknown game developer with sub-par graphics and simplistic gameplay has rocketed to the top of Apple's App Store charts.Red Bouncing Ball Spikes has arisen from nowhere to take the number paid app position in Apple's App Store, blowing our minds away and making us wonder what in the heck is happening. Unlike Flappy Bird whose popularity can be explained partly by social media, the rise of Red Bouncing Ball Spikes is far curious and suspicious.If Galaga was a platformer, it would be Glorkian Warrior
By Jim Squires
As any editor working in the mobile space will tell you, we get a lot of emails every week pitching us new games. It's well into the hundreds, and - for obvious reasons - we can't cover everything. As a result, it takes something really special to catch our eye.The following sentence from Miles Tilmann of Pixeljam is the very definition of that something special: "It's a hybrid of Galaga-style shoot em' up, simple platforming action and Saturday morning cartoon."If that description doesn't get your blood pumping, you must not have any blood left to pump... which is fine, because if you're not looking forward to Glorkian Warrior, you're dead to me already. (KIDDING! You know we love you. Don't stop reading Gamezebo.)
