Independent developer Joe Henry, has launched iTissue 1.0, an interactive tissue simulation application, on the iTunes App Store. Although tissues aren't usually a big part of life, we all use them, and iTissue simulates that experience bringing out the fun in it with cute graphics and hilarious interaction!
The iPhone has many unique features that developers can take advantage of to make creative and interactive applications. iTissue does just this but in a way never before seen on the iPhone; "iTissue gets the user to physically interact with the iPhone, but in a more exaggerated way than just tapping the screen with a finger," said Henry.
The idea behind iTissue is extremely simple. The user pulls a tissue out of a tissue box and rubs their nose on the tissue (or iPhone) to produce boogers. The user can vary the number of boogers put on the tissue by rubbing their nose for a longer period of time, or just tapping the screen with their nose. After the user has filled the tissue with boogers or is done with the tissue they crumple it up and toss it off-screen - a somewhat ironic action, ignoring the trash can in the background.
Features: * High quality, cute cartoon graphics * Refined user experience and interaction
Pricing and Availability: iTissue 1.0 is available on the iTunes App Store for $0.99 in both the Entertainment and Games categories.
Have any of you actually purchased this app? I downloaded it and it's actually pretty cute. My kids can't get over it and keep asking to use my iPhone now. Don't judge an app by it's icon
It would be great if developer's creativity and energies went into less stupid apps and it would be great if news reporters would be able to focus a bit more on the more important and worthier events in this world...
I believe and hope there are enough apps in the 100'000 that should have been mentioned here instead of iTissue....
Maybe a New Year's resolution for the author... (there's always room for improvement, even on an excellent site like this one :-) )
Don't forget it was New Years. There is no news. Companies are not releasing new products on holidays. Its save to bet on there being stupid apps or non important articles being posted during major holidays world wide.
I work for a large news company that specializes in getting news to media outlets. And we were dry this new years. Unless your interested in what people are doing for new years and consider that as news. :)
