# Avoid falling for April Fools’ pranks by… well by falling for Urban Airship’s April Fools’ prank

Now, I’ll be honest. Me? I’m a tad more than gullible. So on days like today? I fall left and right. For pranks. For fibs. For whatever.

But for [all the fun of April Fools’ Day](http://siliconflorist.com/forums/#/discussion/52/april-fools-what-are-the-best-jokes-youve-seen-today/ "April Fools! What are the best jokes you've seen today?"), it’s not often that you get more than a few chuckles out of any given prank. No matter how good it is. Well, leave it to [Urban Airship](http://urbanairship.com/ "Urban Airship") to change that.

“This is the perfect compliment to our existing mobile platform, one that’s sure to change the way we connect and engage with everything around us.” said [Scott Kveton](http://twitter.com/kveton "Scott Kveton"), CEO of Urban Airship. “Once we solved the mobile problem, taking on the gaming industry was a logical next step.”

So go ahead. Don’t be shy. Take a few minutes. Or an hour or two. Revel in all the glory of 8-bit arcade goodness with Urban Airship Revenge.

Why should you waste your time with all the tomfoolery and needless hijinx? Free tshirt. That’s right. Score in the top 100 high scores before midnight strikes and you’ll be the proud recipient of an Urban Airship tshirt all your own. And a tad 8-bit glorious in its own right.

[Safe flying, kids](http://urbanairship.com/ "Urban Airship").

What’s that? Need more 8-bit goodness? Maybe you should try out [Pixelfari](http://siliconflorist.com/2011/02/16/pixelfari-safari-web-browser-looked-wonderfully-8bit-chunky/ "Pixelfari: Your Safari Web browser never looked so wonderfully 8-bit chunky"). It’s no joke. Well, I mean, it kind of is. But… whatever. Go try it.

Hold the phone. What if you played Urban Airship Revenge in Pixelfari? How meta.
