    Applications priced at 59p can sometimes be hit and miss. I have to admit by first looking at Plasma’s sample screenshots on the App Store, my first reaction was “here we go again … low quality graphics coupled with terrible sound effects” How wrong I was. (more…)

  • iChalky: The Hilarious, Dancing Stickman. – [Update]

    Yesterday I happened to be surfing the app store, not looking for anything in particular – God only knows Ive spent too much on there as is it! – and found iChalky. Currently the top most popular paid application on the store, and designed by Eric Metois, iChalky is programmed to respond to real physics. Managed by invisible springs, you can touch and throw him around, try and make him fall over by tilting your device, but whatever you do, iChalky will try to keep his balance – and it’s scarily life-like – facial expressions included!

    There are of course extra options for adjusting spring damping, spring constants, and floor/wall friction. The best bit? – Crank up those tunes and iChalky will be sure to show you some of his moves!

    Wondering what all the fuss is about? Why this is top of the App Store?
    Hit the jump for a full video look at iChalky … (more…)
