    I wish we had time to make a video... but we're leaving for a conference on Friday and are trying to also finish up geoSpark before we go, so unfortunately the video is getting pushed off.

    We'll make one when we get back, beginning of December.

    To give you some more details, it's accelerometer controlled - think Scoops or Doodle Jump. Your goal is to complete as high a dive as possible. You start off on a low dive, and every time you complete one, you advance to a higher dive with more and more flaming hoops.

    For each dive, you have 3 lives. Every time you miss a flaming hoop, you lose a life. Every time you have a near-miss and get singed, you lose half a life. You must also land in the pool in the end (it doesn't count as a completed dive if you go splat at the end ;)).

    If you're really lucky, you might catch an extra life one-up on the way down.

    If you do a PERFECT dive (no misses or singes at all), you get to progress to a higher dive faster.

    Keith's going to post a few more screenshots in a few.
