I can't believe how simple and yet how utterly additive this game is, and it's free to boot! Has anyone else tried it yet? It's great fun on a smartphone and even better on a tablet.

PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

I'm going to guess that is why it is free.

If you're concerned about that you might as well give up on the idea of a smartphone.

I would expect it needs that access so it can mute it's audio/music when a call comes through - unless you like background music on calls

I'd like to know how the hell you get past stage one

Any game is likely to have this as they need to be able to know when a call is coming through. If in doubt read the reviews. The reason it's free is because it's the ad-supported version. There's a paid version if you don't want the ads.

There's no ads when using an adblocker on a rooted phone either.

Cracking game though

Not really, I have no problem with stock apps and those that don't ask for anything, like Fruit Ninja.

The paid version doesn't use that permission.

This appears to have been pulled from the market now...

**Lew** · 12-01-2012, 23:02

Showing just fine for me.

Oh I see. You can get to the page from the link in the OP but it doesn't show up from a search. Odd.

When I click on thel link I get:

We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

It's still bloody working though

I was going to install this on my wife's phone. That's why I noticed it was no longer 'available'.

I bet Jameseh is laughing his socks off right now

I wonder if it works for me because it's installed on my Android devices.
