Twitter sharing not working on the new releases Blocky Bird and Flying Fat Man

Date: 02/27/2014

Games:

Flying Fat Man (version 1.0)

Blocky Bird (version 1.0)

Description:

I just downloaded two games recently onto my Kindle Fire.

One of them is called Blocky Bird, while the other is called Flying Fat Man.

Both of these games have the same problem – the in game twitter icon doesn’t work.

When you click on the twitter icon in either game, it doesn’t take the user to either a tweet of a high score or to the developer’s official twitter account.

Please see the attached screenshots.  

Steps to Reproduce:

1.     Download either Flying Fat Man or Blocky Bird onto a Kindle Fire

2.     Select the Twitter icon that appears in game

Result:  The in-game twitter share icon does not work in the games Block Bird or Flying Fat Man.  Both games were developed by the same developer.

Expected:  I like using Twitter share icons in Android games – I expect them to work on Blocky Bird and Flying Fat Man

Please Note:  I am a little confused here, as the developer of the game does appear to have a twitter account.

This is the game over screen for Flying Fat Man.  If you press on the Twitter icon on this screen - nothing happens.

This is from the start screen of Block Bird on the Kindle Fire.  If you press the Twitter icon on this screen....

You'll be presented with this pop-up - selecting either one won't take you to something on twitter associated with the game.  If you use the browser option....

You'll just ended up stranded with the same pop-up on the screen.
