To Hippieman:
I am VERY interested in the fishing game mentioned. There is a fishing app available but it is extremely limited.
I would like to be able to select either various lakes or various places around a lake to fish, with varying fish for each part. I would like to be able to select from different rods and bait too, as well as keep a book of which fish I have caught with the largest sizes recorded.
Will your fishing game be anything like that?

Why oh why don't these guys hire an art director. Or, at a minimum, bring in some good talent. I don't mean to be offensive (and I might be too late), but come on. The water line is rising quickly in this segment folks.

The character models not only look bad, but the movements are terrible. A qualified animator and modeler/rigger could have made these look awesome for little more, and it would have gone a long way in perception. These characters are front and center, bad place to skimp.

Also, audio…audio is half the experience of a game. what's with the prince Valium voice???? these announcements are celebrations and rejections, not bed time stories.

Raise the bar folks.

Oh, game mechanic seems good.

@Jamey: Gimme The Stranger (Sam Elliot) sitting at the bar giving you instructions on how to play the game, and I'm in!

Now… Big ups to Freeverse. I have yet to see something from them that didn't impress me. Keep it up!

Points awarded to ReformatPlanet for coming up with adding characters from the greatest movie ever made.

Points deducted from ReformatPlanet for not mentioning the greatest bowling character in that movie, Jesus Quintana! I can see him in all his purple jump-suit glory on that tiny iphone screen. And, when he bowls a strike, he turns to look at you and says:

"Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy s**t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your a** and pull the f***ing trigger 'til it goes 'click'."

Would love to see WiFi support so you can play with other iPhone/Touch users locally.

I think we need a licensed "Big Lebowski" bowling game, with special taunt moves like Walter's handgun or Donny's heart attack. The German Nihilists would be an awesome team as well.
