The bug-riddled game many of us already laughed at (for a couple hours) in the PC was announced to go out for mobile and has apparently kept its interest in people, getting this many downloads within a week. Pretty impressive, as I thought the joke would be dead by now.

Isn't that just because it's one of the only proper games you can get on a mobile phone. Most of the games on phones are really really bad but at least this is reasonably good.

It already runs extremely poorly on a decent PC though, I can't imagine how bad it will be on a phone. Also, there are dozens of good games on mobile devices, and this is certainly not a "reasonably good" game.

The game is actually really fun, while on PC its a bit lacking, for a mobile game it works surprisingly well

I am sure there are but there aren't that many quality ones that are comparable in terms of how good they are on PC and console (I can't believe I would ever say that).

My autistic brother watches someone called "JackSepticEye" and it drives me nuts. 

All I hear is; "AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

He tells me that it is fun watching the distasteful content.

You do realize this was developped by students as physics simulator, and they just thought from the joke that they will transform it to game.

I mean, congras for them :)

The Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney games are :P  And hearthstone as well. You're obviously limited when you play on a mobile device, which is why I'm concerned that this game just won't run very well on a phone or a tablet.

Get a refund. There's no way a 3D game can run on iPod Touch 4G anymore as it only has 256 MB RAM.

Oh look, a developer listening to it's fans. What a bad thing to do /s

IIRC Coffee Stain only did Sanctum 1 when they were students.

This is why mobile gaming is shit and why literally anything makes it through Steam green light. The "ironic" 11/10 BEST GAME EVER crowd encourage this instead of pushing for quality control. Goat Simulator is basically that time you get bored in a game and roam around and trying to break it except that /is/ the game. Devs made it as a joke and people ate it up like 3 day old pie all over their face. Shameless. Call me whenever good games are being encouraged instead of gimmicky jokes.

Don't worry, I try my games before I buy them, especially on mobile :)

(On pc I just buy them)

What does one's sexual orientation have anything to do with anything?

I said autistic. Autism does not relate to sexual preference whatsoever. 

I was requesting an explanation regarding that. 

I see no sexist insult committed to my brother.

100,000 x $4.99 = $499,000

 

Half a million dollars in under a week. This is why I got into indie game development, even the "stupidest" of games can put away some serious bank.
