Test your mobile love with Schnuffel Bunny

Heard of Schnuffel Bunny yet? No? Then before reading the rest of this story, watch this YouTube video, then clean up your bleeding ears and come back.

Done that? Apologies for putting that on your internal jukebox for the rest of the day. But Schnuffel is big news in Germany: he recently topped the proper singles charts there for several weeks. Yes, he is another Jamster creation.

Anyway, Schnuffel is also the star of a new game, called Schnuffel Bunny Love Test. Although it's less of a game, and more of a diversion.

The idea: you fancy someone, but you don't know if you have a chance. Rather than take the time-honoured perspective of getting really drunk and telling them you love them, why not ask a cute cartoon bunny?

And that's what the game does, presenting you with a verdict that's thankfully in the form of a percentage, rather than a song.

You may snort in derision, but right now, hundreds of thousands of kids are basing their love lives on it. Possibly.
