Okay, sure. It’s a free download. You literally can’t lose on this investment, as your investment (assuming you have an iPhone or iPod touch) is zero.
Still, I was initially very skeptical. Toss It, after all, is a game based around the oh-so-fun concept of lobbing crumbled pieces of paper into trashcans.
I mean, it’s neat that someone made that. Truly, this helps to verify that whole “There’s an app for that!†thing.
But, even if it’s not free, it’s probably worth the price of admission, assuming you want to entertain yourself by tossing paper into a trashcan. I’ma hit you with a little math.
Check this out:
See that trashcan? You can find the exact item by visiting target.com [1] and searching for “trashcan.â€
Price: $2.49
That’s a pack of looseleaf paper. Found on Target’s website by searching “paper.â€
Price: $3.49
Add those together, pre-tax, and you’re looking at a hefty total of $5.98. Folks, paper runs out. It’s finite. Your free download of Toss It will never run out of paper. Not to mention the obstacles:
Even better [you can have all that fun and not have to] clean up the mess! Fighting for entertainment against the tyranny of boredom, independent developer ‘Boolba Labs’ are announcing a limited-time only promotion offering their highly entertaining and wildly addicting ‘Toss It’ game for FREE, beginning July 29th 2012.
Compatible with the Apple iPhone® and the Apple iPod touch®, ‘Toss It’ offers simple yet challenging gameplay. Featuring 9 unique levels and advanced physics (watch out for the gusts of wind caused by the fan), in addition to global high-scores and leaderboards, this environmentally friendly game will have you tossing paper not only for the fun of it, but also against your friends in multiplayer mode! Guaranteed to be paper-cut free and hilarious fun, what are you waiting for? Download your FREE copy of ‘Toss It’ before the promotion ends!
Obstacles and different environments are included with your free download. I mean, don’t make me add a fan into that cost analysis.
But, think about it. Even without the fan, even if you paid anywhere between $.01 and $5.97 for Toss It, you’re getting a deal. And you’re not paying. Because it’s free, right now. And your trashcan will likely not include an online leaderboard.
So, go download it and give it a try.
Virtual realities are always superior to actual realities…am I right?!
