He created a deliberately dull game Cow Clicker and published it on Facebook. At this point in the game Cow Clicker has 14,188 active users, the rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Each player receives a cow and have to click the mouse on it every six hours. To get the right call more often, you can purchase additional credits for the money. The social element is implemented through the neighboring cows, which can manage you invite users. If you have neighbors, your click is also added to their rating.

According to the first, the company Zynga and others like her are using design philosophy “Fuck the Users”, ie make the game, the main functionality which - draining money from the players.
