Let me introduce: iSpark

First of all, thanks to the man/woman at Apple who reviewed iSpark in 48 hours! That's a new record for my apps, and I'm really happy about it being released before the new year .

This is what I wrote in the description on the Appstore:

"iSpark is a Particle Manipulator that lets you play around with 4 individual particle launchers. Each launcher can be customized using the sliders, you can choose size of the particles, growth, number of particles launched, speed of particles, you can even change the shape of the particles!

iSpark is the perfect app to play with during boring busrides, lectures or meetings. It's silent, fun and the result of a couple of minutes of tinkering is usually quite breathtaking.

Directly when you start the app there will be a tutorialvideo explaining the basics of the app, after that you're on your own, but you can always restart the app to see the video again.

iSpark manages 1200 particles when all the number sliders are at the far right, this means some pretty tough calculations for you iPhone/iPod, don't throw the app away if you get low framrate, try waiting for a bit or restarting the app. iSpark uses the accelerometer to affect the particles, try rotating your device to get different effects. It's also the perfect app for the holiday, celebrate the new year with 100% safe fireworks!"

And now to the nice part, it's free for NOW, it will be free for 2-3 hours so hurry up and download it now before the price is rised to the unhuman price of 0.99 $...

Download iSpark @ iTunes

Have a great New Year's Eve!

News and a Contest!!!

Good news first

As some of you might have heard, I'm working on a new app, this app will be released sometime in the beginning of 2010, I still need to work alot on the UI but all major functions of the app is already done.

This time I'm really pleased with my work, the new app is a "particle manipulator", which basicly means that you have control of a number of particle emitters :). So far you control 4 emitters and you can move them, change number, size, speed and alot of other varibles. You can also manipulate the color and shape of the particles for each of the emitters.

Contest

Yes I shall have a contest! I need help with comming up with a good name for the new app, if you got a good name for it, post it here in the comments or send it too me by mail at: joakim.rosenstam@hotmail.com.

The rules are the following:

* The name of the app cannot be offensive.

* The name of the app needs to be really awesome, not just "P4rticl3s".

Don't take the contest to serious, I will however reward the winner with... Well we have to see about that later, but the winner will most definitely have his/her name somewhere in the new app :)

That is all for now, more info will come soon, happy holidays!
