As soon as [I played it and it asked me to choose a global team](https://www.google.com/), I knew the cat team was going to be the winners when I saw that witch. I was like “uh, well, that witch is hugging a cat…of course everyone is going to choose her because of the world renowned love for cats”. I wasn’t wrong. ---

I collected for green. Screw the yella-belly bastards. ---

I chose green too! And yeah, putting a cat on the internet totally skews the results. I was thinking - what if rather than all the points amassed, it was the average score of the player (quality vs quantity, in other words). It would be interesting to see not just the number of people who chose music vs cats vs books, etc, but how good each group is at space-bar games, disregarding size. I mean, it’s not like Google has _important_ stuff to think about, right? 😉 ---

I gave up. Seemed all I could do was bounce my ass on the ground. ---

I so much hate cats sometime. Or at least all of the goddamn cat worship. _But it’s a kitty_, everyone simpers. Screw them all. I’m a bird person. I picked green. ---

The Internet may love cats, but apparently the SDMB is all about books. I also played Green. ---

I went with Team Cat. I never played Flappy Bird, was this game like that? It reminded me of all the hate for Flappy Bird. ---

When I played it back then, I found that there was some sort of input lag after a bit. Now I try it and the input lag is gone, but the page keeps scrolling down.
