The Mood Setter and Captain Morgan
One day in October, we received frantic phone calls and texts from friends and family in regards to a TV ad that Captain Morgan Rum ran. "Oh my god you're app is on TV, that's awesome," "How much did Captain Morgan pay you guys for that?" "Yo, Captain Morgan stole your app, sue their asses!" Our response was, "what the hell are you talking about?" Shortly after we saw the commercial on YouTube and were able to make some sense of it:
So, it turns out that Captain Morgan made a very funny and clever commercial about a mobile app that is essentially the same as our iPhone/iPod touch app The Mood Setter. They may have never even seen our app before, and didn't copy anything directly (so we couldn't sue as one of our friends suggested haha). The purpose of The Mood Setter is to be humorous, and it's certainly flattering to see that other people appreciated this humor - even if it was "copied" by someone else. We were able to post a link to the app on the Captain Morgan Facebook Wall, which actually gave us a little lift in sales. All in all, it certainly didn't hurt us and was an interesting turn of events.
Download The Mood Setter for 99 cents.

Finding Finkle Hits 30k Plays!
Here's the first post to our new blog! Someone, not going to mention names (Sean), accidentally deleted the database of our previous blog from our server - but here we are with a cool new one. Just days ago, our first little flash project Finding Finkle hit 30,000 plays. We had distributed the game through Mochi Media and were pleased to see that many flash portals and sites hosted our game and accumulated the 30k plays. Our second project Stevo in Woodbury Woods has not seen the same success - only 913 plays so far - which demonstrates how hit or miss the gaming industry can be. We're currently working on updating our iPhone game Flying Pigs and porting it to the iPad, but down the road we may look to put Finding Finkle out there as a 99 cent app as well. Either way, developing these two little flash games was a good learning experience and they have already created over 30k impressions for our brand name to internet gamers.
