Useless Saturday Fun: iDare for the iPhone

Remember that game you used to play in grade school where you would flatten your hand down on your desk, stretch your fingers as far apart as they’d go… and then try and tap the desk in between your fingers as fast as you could without poking your hand? I certainly remember lots of kids doing this, and I thought perhaps it was just a silly Canadian thing, but apparently not…

Now, thanks to the developers at The Game Creators, you can have all of the fun of that silly little game, while saving yourself the pain and torment of jabbing yourself in the hand with a pencil. The game, called ‘iDare’ is a freebie and is super easy to play. Pop open the game, and you’ll notice a green area in the bottom right of the screen. Tap it with your finger. The green area will move to the space between the thumb and forefinger… And then moves to the next space, etc.. ect… You get the idea, right? You’ll notice a bar at the top of the screen… The faster you can tap the screen without hitting your hand, the further to the right the bar will move. The faster you go, the higher your score. This is kind of cool as the game always saves your high point, so you can open up the game and see exactly where your best score is.

Categorize this one in ‘dumb fun’… But sometimes ‘dumb fun’ is just what the doctor ordered. To pick up ‘iDare’ for free, hit up the App Store (iTunes Link).
