During this period, it counted with around 300,000 monthly active users.[5] This number increased to 2,000,000 by 2010.[3] The game was inspired on the game Worms.[6] It also bore certain similarity to the game Crazy Planets.[7] It managed to become one of the three most popular games of Playdom.[8] It closed on 28 August 2013.[9]
Years later, Facebook admitted having tricked children and adults to spend money on several free-to-play games, including Wild Ones.[10]
