downloading it now. the video looked good.

great idea - super simple and mirrors the fun kids have with the real thing - except they won't lose the pieces.


That is the whole point :)


Looks great, but your soundtrack sounds somehow wrong/out-of-tune. I really can't pinpoint it though.


This app was a nightmare to code, because the collision detection between dolls when you drop them.

The first version used recursion, it worked, but was kinda buggy.

The second version (I deleted everything and did again) uses loops, but required all the experimenting with the first version to me know how to do it!


Did you build separate iOS and Android versions?


It uses Corona SDK.

It allows for some really easy cross platform coding.

Future projects will use Marmalade.


Does it have Stalin, Brezhnev, Gorbachev, Eltsin, Putin dolls? :)


Please, feel free to comment on the webpage too!
