- Lorenz123, on 10/18/2007, -6/+69I love that music. :)
- fyrehart, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17The music reminds me of McKids for the NES... man what a terribly great game that was.
- Dalrek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+48I wish half the stuff I did on my comp would play that "Well done!" sound bit.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Can we get a soundtrack of this song somewhere?
- BassJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4LOL@the birds with explosive diarahea! (i know i spelt it wrong you trolls, cba to check for correct spelling!)

- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12This type of music is called chiptunes, it is usually distributed in MOD or XM file formats.

This music is also heavily associated with the demoscene.

- itatag, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Music kind of reminds me of HOT AIR! Another fun flash game, where your the sky blowin' some ballonz, with the same NES style music.

Game music: http://sandig.co.uk/Skywire-Game-Music.mp3 - Shuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Reminds me of Paradox! So computer-y but soo good!
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'd be more impressed with this game if it didn't need the word "Addicting" to make the front page.
- AcePuppy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This kind of reminds me of Rollercoaster Tycoon except killing the people on purpose. Sadistic I know but still fun to play!
- protos999, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I like it...
- bionicbob99, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1amazing play it now!!

- mhuggins, on 10/12/2007, -26/+6...but it is!
- SurrealDream, on 10/18/2007, -8/+43Those bleedin' yanks, bunch of wankers using bollocks language, it's enough to make me go spare. Sod that, I'm going down the local to get slashed.

brilliant - Nedlog23, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1@surrealdream - bloody tosser's more like it for being called addicting
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Addicting is the word of the digg generation. It reminds us about our culture where information is so readily available, but rarely avails. It is the essence of the internet social life. It shows how ones bad grammar can spread unknowingly to those how do not pick up on it. It is an unappreciated psuedo-word that pokes fun at itself, and at the credibility of the internet. It's humor at its most basic level.
It's a ***** word. Get over it. - novaneil, on 10/18/2007, -3/+4http://www.addictinggames.com
- xabstract, on 10/18/2007, -8/+4Total score: 0 ... Not that addicting
- ThatBear, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1DevastatorIIC if i could digg you up again, I would.
- unknamed, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37Would you care to buy my digg for $1.00?
- CartoonAl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I'll buy your digg for a dollar.
Just pass your bank details to me, and I'll wire the transfer straight through... - jonellison13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I would gladly pay you tomorrow for a dig today.
- Fluck, on 10/18/2007, -9/+40railing coke lines off a hookers ass is addicting, not this game
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11I think i speak for most of us (apart from the person who dugg you up) when i say :
We really don't want to hear what you get up to on your weekends. - anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20...unless he has photos of said hooker.
- reconbot, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1(*sigh* pls dgg dwn kthx)
Pics or it didn't happen.

- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Stupid killer whale.
- RedRummy, on 10/18/2007, -2/+32The word is addictive, not addicting.
Dugg tho, if only for "well done!"- OsakaWilson, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4Both are words, just a subtle difference in meaning. Addictive is an adjective and addicting is a transitive verb. Source: OED. :)
- walkerj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22"Addicting" is not correct in the context of this title. That's the issue.
- Ammo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Just let it go. Why do we need 10 comments about the word "addicting" every time someone uses it. This was discussed the last 25 times someone said "ZOMG Addicting Flash Gamez!".
We know already!
- unknamed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3God damn monkeys!!!
- jonellison13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4that's what she said.
- walkerj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26What is it with "addicting?" Until a couple of years ago, I'd never seen the word, only the correct "addictive." Then, I started seeing it everywhere! How come all these people who knew the correct word suddenly started using the wrong one?
- overbyte, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23internets used to promote ***** grammar shocker
comment dugg - bobappleyard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32 k00l 4 sk00l
- walkerj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I really hoped there would be a good explanation for it, like how people have started writing "his" for "he's." At first that seemed ridiculous, but after I thought about it, it made more sense (I wrote an article about it on my blog but won't post a link unless someone asks.)
I guess it's just a new common problem. - CartoonAl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@walkerj
dugg up just for NOT posting a link to your blog without being asked - ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1"How come all these people who knew the correct word suddenly started using the wrong one?"
Try 'where did all these kids with *****-for-grammar come from'?
This is what happens when communities put computer labs in the libraries of every ghetto.
Be prepared for online gangstas.

- mccake, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I don't wanna be a game 'ADDICT'. Please stop using 'Addicting', 'Addictive'.. etc
- grexeo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's the point? After you save them they head straight for the water...
- moosebaloney, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Addicting? You call that addiction? I've sucked D1#K for coke. Have you ever sucked a D1#K for Cable Car? I don't think so, Boo this man... BOO THIS MAN
- Hemingrubbish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2actually quite a good game
- antongranik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Very nice game!
- jimbo100, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2is it just me or do the flying monkey things on level 3 look like Gir from Invader Zim?
Nice game anyway. - an7agonist, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2Damn the last level was hard.. I had to give it at least 20 tries :
- bodicker, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0why don't all games still have soundtracks like that?.......could you please tell me community of online 14 year olds with adanoids that is Digg
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Word not found in the Dictionary and Encyclopedia. Did you mean:
Adenoids Adapoids
ad·e·noid (dn-oid)
n.
One of two masses of lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nose in the upper part of the throat that may obstruct normal breathing and make speech difficult when swollen. Often used in the plural.

- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It..It..It came out of nowhere...
Darn that killer whale! - jrudner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Seriously, I'm sick of hearing that these web games are addicting. This game isn't adicting at all. I played it once, died, that's it, move on. Nothing addicting over here. Buried!
- feez, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1seriously its not addicting. maybe if your gay it is.
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Maybe if my gay, what?
- parabolee, on 10/18/2007, -3/+6"Addicting" is not a word (International English) and should not be a word (in "US English"). The correct word is "Addictive". This is one of the worst offenders of the American bastardisation of the English language.
The "ing" implies an active element that you are taking part in, for example the correct use of "ing" as an active element would be -
I am flying. He was walking. She is sitting
NOT
I was addicting. I am addicting. They were addicting.
I am sure you understand in these cases you would use "I was becoming addicted". Which would be correct as you are not choosing the activity of becoming addicted. You would not say, "I am going to do some addicting later".
There is a whole logical set of rules as to why this word is incorrect in the English language. Also there is no such word as "Burglarized"! ;-)
This is why Americans think the English "sound smarter". Using the language correctly (along with the accent) goes a long way.
Sorry for annoying everyone, normal commenting service will now resume :-D- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So very, very well said.
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So, if not "burglarized"!, then what?
- walkerj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Burgled," of course.
- ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As in "hamburgled."
- dxtr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Just "addictive"? Are you sure you don't mean "Skywire - The most addicting web game EVER!!
- seifert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7SKYWIER - TEH MOST ADICTNG WEB GME EVAR
- Sirking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Holy crap, it reminds me of alfred chicken, music-wise and graphics-wise.
EDIT: lmao, just beat the first level...Well Done! - ncapone, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2This is not addictive. What constitutes a good game in your mind must be different from what makes a good game in mine. It all just seemed hastily put together and the music was terrible. Out of all the games featured on Digg, this must be one of the worst I have played.
- Aoshi7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0is it just me, or does the "ready" and "well done" voice clips sound like Foamy the squirrel? O_o
- coreoption, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The music sounds as if it was created from the same chip used in the Genesis version of Micro Machines.
- robomoo, on 10/18/2007, -3/+0It really is "Addicting". But it isn't addictive.
- hdtvdust, on 10/18/2007, -2/+2Stop claling all web games "Addiciting". Not only is it the WRONG WORD to use in that case, it is often also *****. And overused.
- MT33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Weeeeeeeeeeeeee this was fun. Addictive indeed. I just had to beat level 20 with all my little dudes intact... Which I did! After 30 minutes of retries. Anyway. Cutesy game, fun cable-car physics, loved it!
- pr0na, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1is it me, or does the first rider look like cartman??
- the311neo, on 10/18/2007, -1/+1one of the best free games I've played in a while...'nuff said.
- mtnlion2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1not fun
- everlaster, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3Tell me...How can you be more addictive than Digg?!!
- sid0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, digg is an addictive web game. The lack of it can cause withdrawal symptoms, it's on the web, and people have gamed it in the past. ...
- jtmax24, on 10/18/2007, -2/+0I h8 u..... damn this game is addicting. Oh and whoever told me about Chuzzle I swear. . . Someday I'll get my revenge!!!
- Shlep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3DAMN YOU PARACHUTING PANDAS!!!
- Roybertito, on 10/18/2007, -3/+1Buried for duping a story I posted yesterday. And I linked to the actual game dev's site, you linked to Miniclip like a f*cking tool.
- MetalLizard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://www.keygenmusic.net/
- interiot, on 10/18/2007, -1/+1STOP WITH THE "ADDICTING". Surely you can use a marginally more descriptive heading, rather than copying the one that has been used for the last 300 Digg game headlines. Buried.
