Last week, and internet junkie friend had the “wisdom” to introduce to me a game that has kept me up at night. Err, or should I say many nights. Every once in a while, a game will capture my interest.

Flash Element TD is high addictive. It’s a flash game inspired by World of Warcraft. I’ve never played warcraft personally but something about the simplicity of this online version stuck with me.

The second part of this story fascinated my somewhat fledging internet marketing heart.

Critters aka David Scott, the creator of this game also decided to keep his fans apprised of his webserver stats, requesting donations to offset the bandwidth costs of keeping this game up. Given the obvious popularity of this game, that’s not surprising. The stats alone fascinated me The number of hits went from 13,000 the first day to over 1.5 million hits about 2 weeks later. WOW! Talk about a killer app!

There’s rumours about a newer version coming out in March. Until then, I challenge anyone who suffers from insomnia to beat my score. No, I didn’t cheat, but I’m sure if you google for tips you’ll find a ton of blogs offering lots and lots of tips on how to get top scores in this game.

Check out my best score.
