I think it's realistic to say that over half of them have played it at least once. I know my score ranks globally in the top 10000-15000 globally, and I also know that I'd do much better with a working trackball (I have played a couple of times, shortly, on other people's phones, only to realize that I'll beat my own score on someone else's phone if I don't stop myself). I also know that Barack Obama has called himself addicted to the game, and even he only has 14000 -- an incredibly respectable score (means he's beaten level 16, which means he plays to win, not jsut to waste time... believe me), which is still under half my own. There are definitely 6- and even 7-digit scores out there, and I am convinced I'd have one if it weren't for my trackball. I have considered buyign aa replacement for this game. Is that hardcore enough for you, Travis? For reference, millions upon millions of people have played this game as it ships with a very popular series of phones (it’s on all blackberries, iirc).
