Die Fail Whale: Twitter Game

The Fail Whale, signalling Twitter downtime, is a source of frustration for many Twitter users; now you can take out your rage in a fun Flash game called Die Fail Whale.

Andrew Conn, a 26 year old designer and developer based in Seattle, claims the game took 60 hours to create. He writes:

Die Fail Whale is a first person shooter that integrates Twitter. The game is only 25 seconds long, and the goal is to kill as many Fail Whales as you can in that time. When the game is over, players are prompted to enter their Twitter username to save and tweet scores. Additionally, on the scores page people can see how they rank against friends… and are encouraged to congratulate/shame people with high/low scores on Twitter.

Could this be the cure for whale rage?
