Making something people want?

Good point. If people make money by selling games, that's awesome. But personally, I don't respect this kind of game. There are a lot more interesting games to be made for the platform. That's probably why I posted a dig. I like clean arcade games like iilwy, stories with depth (e.g. oblivion), and things that get me excited like zombies and FPS. For me, most social games on facebook are a whole world of "who gives a…

Interesting problems and apps that try to change the world rarely intersect with things that have a high profit-per-effort ratio... Projects like this have a much higher probability of making a tidy profit and probably not much of a chance of making enough money to fund space travel. Nothing wrong with that.

I personally don't like a lot of popular software (from FB apps to MySpace to Flash games), but engineering for the masses clearly works.

1. itunes store distribution 2. easy way to charge iphone users 3. it looks and plays way better than a iphone web app could

I haven't downloaded this, because I've got an iPod touch and my college has no wireless. Is there anything that I could do WITHOUT wireless, or would I pretty much be screwed when I go back in a few days?

the game continues while you are offline so if you go away you might have been beat up a few times but you will be all recharged and ready to go.

I typed it a number of times here, not sure if that's the right screen: http://pics.posterous.com/untitled-17116 Let's team up (anyone who wants): 100239599

My mob code is 100119202. The more mob members you have, the more powerful your mob, of course... so lets team up. ;-)

Mine is 100652918. Aaaante up! Help me build my crew. Together we will rule the internets.

hi, i think i have found a way how to make alot of cash on imob by doing nothing, all you have to do is wait for it to lag this means all your stats go to - somthing, when it does quit the app then get it again but make sure you turn the ipod off before getting the app back, it has worked for me 3 times and i now have $9012657700 and im a level 8, i have told all my mates and they have done the same and got the extra bit of cash.
