    *** SAND GARDEN IS APPROVED ***
    Here is the thread: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=36404


    Hello all!

    I'm the developer of Nano Fighter, and would like to announce my latest app, Sand Garden™ and hopefully build up a little hype :) I submitted it a few days ago to Apple and am currently awaiting approval.

    It's a full 3D Zen garden simulator. The description submitted with the app is included below the video :)

    Imagine peaceful serenity created from that of a dry landscape. A defining moment that allows your soul and mind to harmonize with one another, creating a temple of Zen and an everlasting moment of pure bliss.

    Can you see the crystal clear sand and flawless stones? Can you picture the perfection of a beautifully sculpted garden of endless patterns and designs?

    Rake the sand. Place the rocks. Create your personal space. Be at Zen with it.

    It's all a reality, created to fit in the palm of your hand.

    Introducing Sand Garden™ for iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Sand Garden™ creates an endless euphoria wherever you go, by putting a real Japanese style garden in your pocket.

    Sand Garden™ holds true to what a Japanese Zen garden represents - architecture balanced with purpose and the usage of true elemental design and function, all surrounded by a beautiful framework. And what can be more beautiful to compliment Sand Garden™ than calling home to an iPhone or iPod Touch?

    Features of Sand Garden™ include:
    • Ultra realism
    • 3D modeling of the sand
    • Beautiful lighting scenes (including a soothing flickering candlelight)
    • Greatly customizable 3D rocks (rotation, size, type, shape and even polish)
    • Many sand types to choose from
    • Six unique raking tools

    Create harmony today, and carry it around wherever you go with Sand Garden™ - Your very own realistic Japanese Zen Garden.

    This looks nice - I'm a big fan of these relaxing apps!! Do you have a price point set, yet. Also - is the music in the video "in app" music?

    .99 Makes this one an instant purchase for me - the lighting effects are a VERY nice addition to this type of app!!

    Thank you :)
    One of my goals in creating this app was to create realism so the lighting was essential.

    I'm quite impressed with this... I've looked at a couple of other sand garden apps and they just seemed too simple. Basically just moving the sand with no other options, but this one looks really nice. The more personal you can make a sand garden the more relaxing it is to play with, I'll probably buy this, can't go wrong at $0.99.

    This looks significantly better than the Zen garden app I have.

    I don't see the point in these sort of games.
    But I like the look of this, great graphics, brilliant lighting, and well polished.
    59p? And supporting (what I assume is) a small dev? Instant win
