The game looks really cute. Will take it for a spin on the weekend (wife has an iphone while I get stuck with Android). I assume you used SpriteKit? Did you do the graphics yourself or hire someone? They look simple but very professional!

Also .. where are you based (trying to judge cost of living of areas vs mine)?

Yep it's SpriteKit! How did you know it was that and not some other 2D engine? Thanks, I did the graphics just in photoshop. I'm based in Seattle. There's a pretty large gaming industry here.
Very cool!

My guess was SpriteKit because there was only an iOS version :) The physics capabilities you get with are quite awesome. Haven't seen something that works equally well and that's cross platform. I started playing with Unity as a hobby ... given how programmable it is, I assume there are physics engine plugins for it.

Best of luck!!

Yea it's pretty great but I was planning on getting into Unity in the future so I can make 2.5D and 3D games and develop it cross-platform.
Have you guys looked at Corona Platform for building cross-platform games?
