    I'm confused as everyone.

    a genius doesn't just launch something this mundane.... so maybe, it's deeper.

    dont be offended if he's right and we're wrong to doubt.

    If it was like 500 players all working on the same block I could see the novelty & appeal - like a race of sorts I suppose... for maybe 2mins with healthy hands.

    No, Peter Molyneux did though

    I think it matches his style perfectly.

    Perhaps the experiment is to see quite how easily people are entertained nowadays.

    He also said that there are surprises in store as players dig further in the cube, but the first layer will need to be removed completely before the next layer can be started.

    The first layer is now gone, second layer when tapping away reveals red color underneath.

    My top tap tip:- Tapping over a larger area means you score a bigger bonus for clearing the screen, zooming in gets you smaller bonus scores but it's faster to score more of these.

    Sounds like the time I stripped the wall paper in my bedroom to find demonic stick drawings painted underneath from previous occupants( that was fun )

    esp when i saw the one with the red house burning and the little girl trapped inside...

    Re: So...Peter Molyneux's new game 'Curiosity' is out - A review

    It's an experiment.

    When people tap cocks into the cube, that's data

    When people tap censorship of those cocks, that's data

    When large groups work together to make giant GIANT cocks, that's data

    When groups work together to police the cube & remove offensive cockitude of any size, that's data

    The "game" has no real content to it, so people are creating their own metagame on top, and that metagame is largely cock-based

    Personally I find it a fascinating exploration into human behaviour - and I suspect they do too

    One of my many, non-cock-based creations, anyone know what that number in the top left means?

    the longer this goes on, the deeper it feels and the cleverer it is.

    not only to see people like us debate it, and the people clicking who etch words or games into it's surface... the sheer audacity of it makes me smile, and be genuinely impressed by him.

    Molyneaux is a genius... that's all there is to know. He messes with the minds of people who allow him to, and ignores the rest.

    I S! him
