This looks delightfully promising.  Beautiful work!

This game is looking beautiful!  Great work so far.

Hey, congrats on the release, this is a lot of fun!

Great interpretation of a classic.

Thanks for posting!

Been learning to play this song, and really enjoying it.

I'd check out "Rolling in the Deep" if interested.  More upbeat and all around better in my opinion.

Wham! - Everything She Wants

edit: also… I keep getting told by Japanese people that I look like Ed Sheeran and I really don’t. For a start, he’s better looking than me.

Ouch, that's a heinous self-burn.

I didn't mind a few songs like "Shape of You" earlier on, but at this point I've heard them more than they're worth.  It's not bad music, it's just nothing special.

I agree, it's getting a bit annoying seeing him everywhere.  His cameo in 'Yesterday' at least felt appropriate, despite him being a bit of a knob in it.

Really fun looking game, full of charm.  I love the character designs and art style.  Your animations are fantastic!

Stumbling back through your campsite, you quickly unzip your tent and get inside.  You try to keep quiet, but it is to no avail.  You've awakened your friend.  They rub their bleary eyes and ask what's going on.  You start to tell them about what you saw, but you keep jumbling your words.  You don't really know how to explain any of it.

You hear the shuffling sound again, this time it sounds like it's right outside the tent.  You simply open the tent flap.  Your friend looks out and sees...

Honza, here's a trophy:

Last day to vote!  I'll post the score breakdown and winner tomorrow.

Now there's a nice solution.

Yeah, from what I've been reading a lot of these apps use the positioning data from the phone in tandem with the camera to generate the 3D image, so turntables aren't really a good solution.

Interesting, I'll have to find it and try it out!

That's really cool!  It's pretty clear to me that it's an elephant statue.  Using a turntable and a tripod are going to work best for you.  Which app are you using?

Mandle: Nice idea. This could be a good object to start a game

Or to get a sprite contest rolling

You're confused, disoriented.  Your mind is playing tricks on you, and you realize that you desperately need sleep.  You rub your bleary eyes, and look around to get a sense of your surroundings.  You think you can see your camp ahead of you through the fog.  The embers of the fire are still glowing orange, a faint smoke drifting through the moonlight.  Yes, there it is.

But then you hear something like a cross between a hoot and a clucking sound.  You ignore it as another auditory hallucination, convincing yourself it has to be.  But you hear a shuffling and that sound again behind you, sending shivers down your spine.  You think it must be a wild turkey, and slowly turn to look.  Some sort of bipedal wooden stump hops towards you and repeats its call.  You take a few steps back and rub your eyes again.  The creature is staring at you with glowing yellow eyes as if waiting for some sort of response.  You don't feel threatened by this wooden creature, it seems friendly.  It looks to your feet, and you realize what it's really after.  You're standing next to a particularly nice stick.

As you bend down to pick up the stick, the creature's eyes follow you intently, becoming more excited as you lift it from the ground.  Clearly this beast is interested in the stick.  You hold the piece of wood over your head and the creature starts hopping in place, eyes fixed on the stick.  Quickly, you launch the fallen branch deep into the woods and head in the opposite direction towards the glowing remains of your campfire.

Nice sprite, Honza!  Thanks for participating!
