The sec0nd on the list, Addict, has shown up before. It gives you a loosely described percentage score for how “addicted” you are to Facebook, based on how often you use site features. However, it appears to have been taken offline by Facebook. We’re not sure what’s going on here.
So let’s look at some of the especially interesting apps on today’s list. Band of Heroes is one, with 421,000 new users to reach 690,000. At number four, it is at the tail end of at least three role-playing games from LOLapps that have been making their way into the millions. The others have been Diva Life and Yakuza Lords. These games are part of a larger plan by the app developer to promote other types of video games, more here.
Another role-playing game, The Hierarchy, also continues to move up, reaching 363,000 by today.
There’s a pretty neat French-language game, though, called Piou Piou contre les cactus. It’s a cheery, arcade-styel game where you control a flying rubber ducky that you navigate up and down a screen trying to dodge cactuses.
And an interesting game-related one also showed up in our overall apps list over on Inside Facebook: Happy Aquarium Community, from CrowdStar. The developer appears to be building apps that are actually forums for Happy Aquarium and its other games, although we’re not exactly sure why.
Other notables include JibJab, Slide’s Top Fish and Spore Islands
As if Pet Society, Farmville, Fishville, Cafe World, Restaraunt City are not enough. I remember having the old snes and playing 1 game for a couple months, nowadays kids have a limitless supply of games! How do they get their homework done?
Don’t forget the Genesis, TG-16, and the Game Boy! All those consoles around the time of the 16-bit heyday also had a huge library of games to choose from as well. And you can’t forget arcade games which were very popular at the time.
Kids today get their homework done the same way kids in the 90s got their homework done… After playing. :)
