    I dont know if youve thought about this or not, but when you say 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, do you mean that three objects and three backgrounds win, or a mix of three objects and backgrounds win? ??? I really hope that my background makes it into the game, even as the menu screen!

    That's a hard one, because if you want to make it mirrorable you might need to remove the buildings. And there's not much left after that... Or if the buildings looped vertically so we would never see the ground plane? Dunno, these backgrounds are pretty difficult to do.

    Ah, mix of three objects and backgrounds. So no two separate categories, all works submitted to this contest compete with each other. Otherwise we would go bankrupt. :)

    All righty then, lol!

    Okay, that makes it 2x more difficult, but you've just gotta be confident in what you do I guess, lol.

    might do some more but here are two so far

    theyre basically just plays on existing objects since im not sure if you have plans to reskin them for the new themes

    the plane works like the man pig (or pig man) so when you click it flies up and pushes you with it. and the canteen is just a ww2 health pack

    It's worth it. One of my favourite iPhone games. It'll probably give you more ideas for objects too.

    I don't see why not... I'm sure ttursas wouldn't say no to free advertisement.

    They look really nice, but hmm the plane has a propeller that should damage the ragdolls by game logic, and those bombs might need to explode, too. ;) Otherwise the player would get confused. I'll need to think how to do that 3D propeller, and if the plane collided hard enough it could explode completely? ;)

    About reskinning all the items, I think that's too much trouble and might just confuse the player even more. ;(

    Thanks! ;) Absolutely, when you play the game you might get the feeling that something is missing -> a new idea is born. Even playing the lite might help, or just watching the YouTube videos.

    A lot of games you play a few times, dont play it for two months, then play for one more tme, and then delete. You can't really do that with iDrop Dead because of all of the updates, unlockables, highcores, contests, etc. iDrop Dead, Pocket God, and Mingore (if the frikkin update would ever be approved by Apple!) are the three most updated apps in the app store, and that's why people buy em;/ or will buy iDrop Dead once it starts going higher up in the charts anyway, lol
