Just submitted my app to the app store!

The app is called Frogs and Fireflies. It is setup as a children's game, but enjoyable by many more (a 60 year old relative tested an early version and loved it).

Now, it's just been submitted, so it might be a while before it appears on the app store (especially if we missed something and apple rejects the first run). I will post again when its actually released, so that any of you who might be interested in it can get it :)

I just want to say thank you to the Garage Games people for the creation of this awesome iPhone game engine and the Torque Powered community for all of your help! You all rock!

Good luck Sarah! My youngest is five so I'll download it for her to have a go. App submission can take up to 2 weeks but recently has been about 1 week.

Granted my first app was very simple, but it was approved within 2 days. Congrats and good luck!

The game is officially up on the iTunes app store!

Looks like about a week for approval presently. They probably hired extras for all the iPad apps.

Please look it up (Frogs and Fireflies) and give it a try if you feel so inclined :)

Hi Sarah,

Downloaded for my five year old. We played some games tonight and generally it is an excellent color mixing/matching game - she really like it.

Some comments:

- we got a bit confused on some of the colors - we seemed to mix the right color (orange) but the frog didn't grab the fly - I noticed that it was mainly the middle frog which didn't grab the fly. It could be that we weren't quite spotting the shades.

- I think a practise mode would be good without the timer - she tends to panic a bit when the timer counts down!

Otherwise a good game for teaching young ones about mixing colors.
