A fact from Robbery Bob appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 March 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that a reviewer thought that the video game Robbery Bob contained cringeworthy dialogue?

... that Robbery Bob, Angry Birds, and Cut the Rope were published by the same company? Source: [1]: "Ever since striking gold with games like Angry Birds and Cut The Rope, Chillingo has been rapidly firing out cutesy physics-based iOS puzzlers in hopes of once again finding App Store glory."

Comment: This is my third DYK nomination. This one is for the 2024 WikiCup.
@TrademarkedTWOrantula: New enough, long enough and nominated on time. I spot checked references and found that they line up. The references are just ok, but many references for video games appear to be of similar quality. There is a fair use image in the article and the article is in MOS:ORDER.
Layout
The hook is not in the article. There is no Angry Birds or Cut the Rope in the article. We will need to either add that information with the citation or come up with a new hook which is based in the real world WP:DYKFICTION.
The Release section is just a few words and looks orphaned - can you combine it elsewhere?
The sequel section is also too short to have a section - can you combine it elsewhere?
@TrademarkedTWOrantula: Added the quotation marks. going forward others will also make decisions about the hook punctuation. We need another reviewer now, hopefully one will come along to approve the hook both you and I approved. I hope you stick around and continue to contribute to DYK.

Source says "moments of", yet the hook implies all of it was. May I suggest:
ALT2: ... that AJ Dellinger of Gamezebo thought that Robbery Bob contained cringeworthy dialogue? (I think you can get away without quotes seeing as it's already attributed, but I'll leave that decision to a prepbuilder.)--Launchballer10:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
