If you have an icon that lets you run away from a battle you can keep coming back to zombo.com to use this trick over and over. Pokemon.com has a skill called Run Away that is perfect for this.
I'd love to be able to add my own icons to the database somehow.
Edit - what about allowing us to add our own icons but having them weighted by something like their Alexa site ranking? That should keep anyone from creating a super-icon.
I found good way to beat Google early was to grab time.com first, they use their Unscrupulous power to grab "Don't be Evil" attack from Google, then attack back with it.
(Also, I feel like a step closer to understanding Pokemon generation now)
Hi, I am the creator of Favimon! Thanks for the link and the feedback. The game is still in beta - I'm working on making it more challenging, improving performance on mobile browsers, and a few other things. Favimon is basically a wild idea I had a few months ago - I've been amazed by the traffic it's been receiving.
As a few people have pointed out, each time you encounter a favimon it has a new set of actions, randomized from a pool of actions that correspond to its classes (such as 'blog', 'shop', or site-specific classes like 'google').
It would be nice if the Favimon healed themselves over time, so I don't have to sit and click "heal... heal... heal..." over and over with a several second wait in between.
It'd be nice to go to bed, and wake up in the morning with my Favimon all ready to go.
A Web server hosting www.example.com and example.com aren't necessarily the same. When typing a URL into the box, he prefix "www" is getting chopped off by the backend irrespective of this fact.
True, but for the purposes of the game, it doesn't really make a difference, as www.example.com is unlikely to have a different favicon than example.com. So I am clipping them just to make it simpler to input URLs.
4chan.org was quite trivial. Got it with yahoo.com, powered up to max damage. I stole 'Too Much Information' from facebook.com in order to have level 2 attack on yahoo.com though.
4chan.org vs ycombinator.com - that was a long fight. 4chan.org ended up being on top :)
ebay.com comes with "Withhold", which can disable the opponent's attacks one by one. If you disable them all you have a free round to upgrade/refresh everyone.
I think the actions are somewhat randomly generated from a possible set - GotFuturama.com also came with something similar for me, but Nintendo.com changed its actions after the second time I got it.
