The name Angry Birds is one in which almost everyone that follows technology news will know about, the game being the most downloaded game in history but it seems that with the accolade of the biggest game ever created comes a constant onslaught of challengers that are looking to take away the crown.
Although there is still yet to be a title that has even come close to the popularity of Angry Birds within the mobile gaming market, the online searches seem to have been matched by a new controversial free online gaming title that has taken the world by storm.
Angry Birds gets as many as 4 million online searches within search engine giants Google every month according to their Keywords Tool but it seems that although they seem to have a huge void between them and other free online flash games, that is not the case when it comes to Happy Wheels, a new flash game that has taken the online gaming world by storm.
Happy Wheels is yet another flash game that is free to play online and is developed on a very simple concept, to get your character from one end of a level to the other in the fastest possible time, a fact that draws gamers to refer to the game as a racing title but this game has a huge twist.
Rather than having a character that you place into a car, monster truck or on foot, you select from a list of possible racers that are on bicycles, in wheel chairs or even on a mobility scooter as you try to navigate the dangerous levels that often leave gamers seeing their characters fail to get to the finish line.
Unlike conventional racing games, the characters within the title can actually get hurt and in more ways than a simple whiplash occurrence, losing limbs or in more drastic cases being torn into small bits and seeing their blood and guts being thrown across the screen.
The game has become a hit with adults and children alike, although parents have expressed their disgust at the game as it seems to target certain public societies such as the disabled or elderly but young gamers say that the game is little more than a fun way to pass their time.
With Happy Wheels also topping 4 million searches a month, online arcade owners are flooding to add the much sort after game in order to offer their gamers the chance to sample the game for themselves and many have reported that a lot of their organic traffic is in some way related to the game or the genre of car racing games in general.
