Friday Freebie!!
Published: October 23, 2009
Welcome to Friday, and today’s fabulous freebie!!
Today we have 5 copies of a very fun game, Finger Physics. This game has 5 play modes which include stacking, balancing, breaking etc. different types of blocks to meet your objective. Check out the description from the App Store:
When was the last time you had an honest conversation with your fingers? Do you really know how much fun they are having on a daily basis? You use them to play games on your iPhone and iPod touch you say, but are you sure they aren’t tired of the same screen mashing, pointing and line drawing? No, you aren’t sure, you thoughtless wielder of tiny appendages.Luckily for you (lucky because we don’t even want to talk about what it looks like when your fingers go into all out revolt mode), we did ask what your fingers want. Did you know that 9 out of 10 fingers agreed that magnetized blocks, explosive shapes, under water puzzles, low gravity environments and speed play levels were essential to the perfect finger fun? You didn’t, did you, could you be more selfish?
Here’s what else they told us:
Pinky: “I just want to be involved, I don’t care how, I just want to have some fun. While the other fingers get to play puzzle games, I’m stuck where I can’t even see. You don’t know how bad life is until a thumb calls you ‘stubby’.”
Ring Finger: “Seriously, stop playing with the ring. It’s bad enough that I’m constantly choking, but taking it on and off is torture. You take it off, I think I’m free, and then you put it right back on again. I hate you.”
Middle Finger: “I’m totally satisfied with my role as the longest, most meaningful finger.”
Index Finger: “Give me some mental stimulation, some physics or something; if I have to draw another line I’m pretending I have leprosy. I want a game where I get to build not only for height, but stability as well. Come talk to me when you’ve got that.”
Thumb: “I want to compete. Present me with some challenges and I’ll show you who’s the most “dexterous”. Though clearly “stubby” won’t be much of a challenge.”
Shocked? Yea, us too. We can’t help ‘Pinky’ (no one can) or ‘Ring Finger’, but Finger Physics is everything Index Fingers and Thumbs could want. With 9 stages, over 80 challenging puzzles and 7 distinct modes, Finger Physics provides you with your best chance to give back to those digits that you have so thoughtlessly neglected over the years.
Clearly, thumbs have something to prove (not that we’re here to judge), so we’ve added an almost unlimited amount of achievements allowing them to strut their stuff against fingers world-wide. Index fingers got their stability mode on top of a mode requiring them to strategically guide an egg in to its nest; we threw that one in just to shake things up for middle fingers.
At the Finger Physics launch party, Fingers were giggling, whooping it up, and engaging in riotous shadow puppetry in celebration of its availability.
In case your still confused with what the game is about (I would be too) check out the video below.
If you would like to win a copy of Finger Physics simply post int he comments what you finger told you when you had an honest conversation with it. Selections will be chosen for hilarity, creativity, and whatever else I feel like. We may also read off the winning entries on this weeks podcast. Good Luck!

I speak with my fingers every day.
I’m an impassioned mime! So, they are doing all the talking and bring home the money. And the good thing, the whole world understands this language.
Btw, that’s why I love the iPhone.
It’s a mime machine and I can practise my finger skills every day by playing all this great stuff.
So, it would be fantastic, if you can support my passion with a new exercise called Finger Physics.

My last conversation with my finger was last night in bed … no, it’s NOT what you are thinking
Every night prior to going to bed, me and my finger play every available game … no, it’s NOT what you are thinkng
Last night, my finger was requesting a towel … no, it’s NOT what you are thinking
Since playing on the iPhone gets sweaty … no, it’s NOT what you are thinking
My finger needs a towel to wipe off any sweat from playing! So anyone reading this, stop thinking maliciously … HA!

Finger, “hey dude, I love smelling fishy”.
……yep, there’s nothing quite as scrumptious as fish & chips

Pinky to me last week, “Why the BEEP did you have to become a Yazuka for?”
Pinky to me yesterday, “eeeeeeeeeeeeek!”
Ring finger to me this morning, “where’s Pinky gone?”

I was just talking to my finger about how much I loved my iPhone and MacBook Pro for about 20 minutes, when all of a sudden, he flips me the bird?!

Well… I asked my thumb if it was excited for Forza 3, and… well… it replied “Your teeth called, your breath stinks.” then he tucked inside of my fist.

My conversation was a simple one. My index finger begged me to stop the sudden digs for gold. It told me how it hated the inside of the dark cave I would thrust it into. I told it I was ever so sorry, but if I got even one nugget from the trip it was worth his short suffering on my commute home.
Then my pinky jumped into the conversation. Something about the inside of my ear.
Whatever…I run the show here.

My finger told me to talk to the hand. I can’t believe his attitude.

(Scene starts driving in the car)
Fingers Together: “where are we heading tonight chief?”
Me: umm.. well guys i think we are going to dinner, maybe chicken wings, not sure…. umm, and im picking up Jenny….
Fingers Together: NOT JENNY!!!
Me: Yeah, sorry guys but she text me and asked what was up and so…
Middle Finger: OH great, I get to go into the musty cave, and smell like fish all night! Makes me happy that we are getting chicken wings so the buffalo sauce covers up the stench.
Me: Oh come on, she isnt that bad! Remember that one time when we went to Cancun and…
Ring Finger: NO shocker!! If you stick me in that hairy rabbit hole one more time, i swear ill…
Me: Hey, dont worry, i dont know if she will be up to that tonight.
Thumb: Oh yeah right, I remember last time when she was on top, reverse cowgirl you started out with Pinky then you stuck me in the ol’ Balloon Knot!
Pinky: Yeah, thats not cool!
Me: Hey now settle down, i could always turn gay and do reach arounds!
Index Finger: yeah, thats true guys, we should just be thankful that he is with these floozys instead of the Gap employees at the mall, if i had to touch one of those Tinkerbells, id have a real prob.
Me: Ok enough. When we get home tonight we will play SPACE INVADERS IG before bed, ok?
Fingers Together: YYEEEAAHHHH!!!!

My thumbs told me to stop playing so many iDevice games. Thumb cramps hurt.
