Congrats on the release! One of these days I'm going to finally get myself an iPod so I can play all these great games the community has made.

Thanks all!

Pretty wild stuff, really. The band is awesome, their music is fun, and the game is really something pretty cool and new. I'm actually working with the band as I type this to get the GPS coordinates and radius correct for the launch concert venue for tonight. If you take the game physically to any Shinobi Ninja concert, there are freebies available, such as free music that you can download. It's really exciting to be able to create a game and have it launch with such excitement that really uses so many features of the iPhone and iPod Touch.
