Popular flash games and sponsorship


Today I present MicroSheep and it's two versions very popular and highly contagiuos flash games Flugtag.

First of all this is great game. It has simple rules, but also main ingredient for successful game: you can't stop playing it. One version of this game is hosted on Kongregate in Sports category where it is first by number of plays more than double than second place game. On MicroSheep website there is slightly different version of same game. Actually, game is completely the same except for one image. I'll get back to that. This version is called Flugtag Tournament on website. Second version is Flugtag on Mars where main ship is spaceship and not plane like in first version. Power-ups are different and interesting.

Games on website have Red Bull logo inside game on lounch pad. This clearly indicate that this game is sponsored and with such big company behind it, it's no wonder that game is popular. Question here is this: what came first, game popularity or sponsorship?
