      I haven't messed it up.

      If you click the link it brings you to the NFS page. I think the [appinfo ] just can't read it for some reason...

      You probably used a non-US iTunes store to get this link. Looks like NFSU has two separate versions for US and Other countries..

      Actually, did anyone ever finished that game? It has like a million levels or something lol (okay actually maybe about 40-50 or something, but it gets really difficult in the end)

      Yep, it's one of the few games I have actually finished. I played the last level over and over. It's one of my favorite games, I would've voted but I don't really count it as a racing game.

      How many levels was it in total? And how long did you take to finish the game? lol

      And yeah, I dont count it as racing either but Camzy said okay so I voted for Snail Mail :p
      In fact we had a thread about Snail Mail long ago. People were comparing it with vertical shooters and other genres lol

      I think it was 50 levels. I'm a bad gamer, so it took me about a month and a half (not everyday, but most). For most people it could take like maybe two weeks, but I don't know how fast other people are.

      Oh. :p I should've put that on my list then.
      Lol. xD I don't now what genre it would be, maybe some weird kind of platforming game sort of?

      Yeh Snail Mail I wasn't sure where it'd fit, but where else would you put it? It's a bit like a kart racing game, so I thought it'd be OK to include it.

      ps. I'm also bumping this thread so that itman doesn't feel the need to make a 3rd poll....

      Why don't you PM him all the links to your threads and that way he can stop clogging the posts with repeat questions and can see all your hard work. Out of his posts a large majority are starting poll threads or saying "That's Awesome" on the pocket god threads.
