Dublin based developer Kevin Bergin has released this addictive little game for both iOS and Android.
Like the best casual games, the idea is simple. Move your Gooboid (the little greenblue guy) around to gather energy and advance the levels all the while staying as close to but not touching the other Gooboids to get points.
It was so addictive I started carrying my horrible Galaxy S3 again just to play it.
The iOS version (which I only discovered this morning) unfortunately has my absolute bugbear issue of not being sized for the 5/5s/5c sized screen, but plays the exact same as the Android version.
Gooboids is available for free on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Of this seven and a half minute compilation of pyromaniacal GTA V gameplay spawnanigans, Youtuber Fyshokid of SubParButInHD sez:
I used to do this all the time in GTA San Andreas, however it wasn’t possible in IV, since you couldn’t spawn multiple cars using cheats. Luckily, it’s possible again in V, which makes for a ton of hardware punishing fun…it’s just all out car pile-up chain reactions!
As the sales behemoth of Rockstar’s GTA V thunders on, having passed $1 billion within three days of launch, Despicable Channel presents a soothing, violence and theft-free timelapse of the fictional San Andreas landscape.
