   I've been working on yet another interactive book for kids and it finally hit the store today. Take a look!

   App Store Link

   Unlike the previous books I've put out there, I've paired up with a writer and a super talented illustrator, Dean MacAdam, so people wouldn't have to suffer through my "artistic skills". The whole project project took us about 6 months, with people contributing on and off as needed.

   Let's see, interesting things...

   • The character and physics are all modeled in Chipmunk. That framework rulez!
   • uhm... I can't think of anything else right. I've been finishing off the trailer last night and it's been a long night. I'm a little underslept, but as soon as I think of other interesting things, I'll let you know.

   I'll likely have a couple of promo codes left. PM me if you're interested. Go Cocos2d!

   Wow, very cool.

   This is one of those "Why you need an iPad" style apps.

    Thanks for your support and kind words everyone! BTW, I was talking with @rwenderlich earlier and he suggested that, if there is interest, it might be worthwhile to throw together a couple of post-mortem / ebook-how-to type of blog posts. I'll keep you posted if something like that happens.

    Thats cool stuff. The art is cool and the effects make it better. You should consider localizing the app, it may be worth it.

    Great app! Just bought it!

    Did you receive some kind of email telling you that they want to make your iPad app "iPad app of the week"?

    I received a nebulous request for image assets along with several underlined statements that Apple cannot promise a feature. So, really I didn't know we got featured until a friend of mine pointed it out.

    I absolutely loved your 3 piggies book, and to be honest, I am a little bit envious, that all these über ideas just seems to pop out of you head constantly :)

    I think you should add multi-touch support to morning/day/night page.

    Congrats! Great app (again) Still working my way through it, going to sit down and let my daughter have a play with it tonight.

    Have you picked out an island yet ;)

    @Birkemose: Not much to be envious of, promise. While I am having a blast, I work sub-minimal wage and survive on ramen noodles. Ah, the joys of being an indie...
    But you have a nice selection of über ideas of your own - squishy blobs in form of the Cocos2D mascot? Brilliant! Slap in a score counter and a price tag and you're in business :)

    @alexasha: Good call! I'll add it to my list.

    @abitofcode: Looking forward to your feedback! I don't know about an island, but I did find a nice trash pile that could work as a relaxing summer getaway.
