"As of January 14, it has gotten 1,571,213 downloads!"

That's about two weeks that the app has been out. Incredible.

Yes it is... more so when you try to play it, which I did just now. It isn't bad, but I also wouldn't call it a great game. I just don't understand the popularity...

I'll pretty much download anything new that pops up on the free list. A lot of it is junk that gets deleted fast, but if other people are doing the same...

Free and downloaded isn't the same as free and replayed.

I download Xbox Live demos of almost everything, I may only buy 1/100 that I try (exaggeration). I'm sure this game has some modicum of popularity, but you can only truly tell by longevity when something is being served to you for free.

That is absolutely amazing. I struggle to get hundreds of downloads each day of my free apps...
