    I'd use level 1-4 "Just a random cellar". ;)

    And yes, we'll do that!

    I guess that same shit kid would still report those switches to Apple and that would be the end of the story.

    Yes, we are going to take the "flowers and candy" road. No more fluids and blood, but something much nicer like flowers and candy! Even girls like them.

    I hope having sprites for blood won't affect performance too much :(

    ok, I'm glad there is a plan here. I will be very sad if development of this game ends, as it is a great game :) Maybe the next contest could be "Create candy/flowers for iDrop Dead!!" haha ;)

    maybe nodoctors is on to something :p just label everything "blood" as "candy" now :p Maybe make the heart and brain, and even other organs, different types of candy. Like the brain could be a gummy bear and the heard could be a skittle :p idk, just some random idea.

    The sprites are larger than those old square blood particles so I can generate them less, and as I'm not rotating the sprites CPU's almost just copying data. At least I cannot see any effect on the fps when I switch to these sprites. ;)

    Oh, nobody's leaking anything! In the colorful fairy kingdom flowers just appear when things collide. They are the signal of love!

    :D Yes! Actually I've already renamed "blood" to "flower" in the game, so now you are choosing flower type in the configuration screen. Hmm I think we'll have to put a rotten apple inside the creatures heads... ;)

    will we be able to impale our characters with rusted spikes of love in an upcoming update? or have them ride a magic carpet into a lava pit?

    Another vote for the rotten apple. Has anyone seen that Aqua Teens episode with the rainbow coming out of the nun's head? iDD should do something similar to that. Battle Bears has already done it but... screw them, they didn't come up with it.

    Could be sacks of flour... Choose your powdery substance of choice!

    Not my fault if you want your pinata filled with saffron! ;)

    so depressing though that apple had to reject it. i hope the game is still awesome with the new features. But ttursas, are you going to submit it as a new app? I'll pay again for it if you do ;)

    ;) Would a spike/spear of love have a heart shaped blade? ;) I do have those spears/blades on my TODO-list, we just need to get this "new" version done before we can move onto doing anything new...

    This is... interesting... ;) But I think I like candy and flowers better, now that I've seen them in action.

    I'm getting cold shivers here, thank you! :D That's ultra cheerful! Hmm something like that would be quite proper in the current situation. :)
