A new game has taken the crown of the most downloaded free game on the App Store, it’s called Timberman (Free) and almost vaguely feels like someone took a look at those don’t step on the black tiles games and decided to make something that looked like a real video game out of it. Maybe. Anyway, in the game you play as a lumberjack and can tap either side of the screen to chop an apparently infinitely tall tree down.
The trick is, with each tap the tree falls down a bit more, and you don’t want to be on the wrong side when it does. If you get hit by a branch, you die. A time limit keeps you tapping as quickly as possible, and, of course, like all of these simple, free, high scoring games, the leaderboards are absolutely decimated by people who are way better at video games than I am.
There’s a bunch of different lumberjacks to unlock by hitting certain score thresholds, liking them on Facebook, and things like that. If the ads annoy you, you can spring for Timberman Golden Edition ($0.99), but beware, the iTunes description mentions, like most apps that cost money, Timberman Golden Edition is reserved for “extremely rich people".
The great flappy bird returns! Woooo.
Can't wait! :D
Odd to see a small time dev warning about addictive gameplay when there are companies like King and Zygna and EA researching and capitalizing off of it. That and I can't believe Dong still thinks all those silly app reviews about Flappy Bird ruining lives were real, it was probably some 4chan/reddit prank.
Yeah, regarding him thinking it was actually ruining people's lives, he seems to have been admirably well meaning, but some combination of naivete and language and cultural barriers caused him to misunderstand humorous comments as being literally true. He also seems just as puzzled as everyone else about why his game got so popular. I'm not sure he's someone you'd want to take advice from.
You sir, have the best name on any forum ever.
There should be an option for a premium toucharcade app that allows users to block any mention of Flappy Bird ever.
Sorry, I couldn't see your post because it mentioned Flappy Bird.
Soooo niceah! LoL
Burn!

Heh, Dong

The Donger!!!!
The Justin Bieber of the gaming world returns.....
I like his attitude about work and making games on the side instead of starving to death trying to make it big with the next Flappy.
Um he is unhappy that people are using his bird in games? Does anyone else find that really really really ironic? Like look at that game! It shoulda been called "flappy copywrite laws are for suckers!"
I think people should know that Flappy Bird is nothing but a copy of "Line Birds" which was there 3 years before... https://itunes.apple.com/us...
Line Birds is a clone too. "The Endless Flight Game" came out before that in 2007.
TL;DW, wish you would give the times in the video the highlights you mentioned were shown so I could just watch those
I said something much more interesting than "heh, Dong" and it was deleted. Please let me know why.
Not deleted, just stuck in moderation queue.
I read from Wikipedia that flappy bird copy many concepts from : Super Mario bros and other games (I don't their names )😒
I think he's right in warning people against thinking that they can just make a crappy game one day and suddenly be millionaires. I think a lot of (most?) game developers secretly think like that. They don't understand that monetary success is largely a process of years of really hard work - and in a few cases - like winning the lottery - sheer dumb luck. I wouldn't bet my future on winning the lottery, either.
The majestic Flappy Bird is back.
Thank you.
Thank you for bring it back.
No copycats can match the original Flappy Bird.
The flapping and ding-ding sound are so iconic.
The paces of the bird/ gaps/ pipes are so mathematically precise.
Best mobile game ever created.
Flappy Bird proved human mind is again superior to all machines
