This is one of those very rare moments where the idea is so funny and good that you'll probably have quite the success with the idea even if the implementation isn't the best. But it seems like you've…

My 6 year old son just played through it on our Wii and I was reminded how awesome Secret of Mana is. I started a new game myself and was sucked in instantly. Excellent game.

Can a single agent support multiple apps? BTW, props - this looks EXTREMELY sweet and I expect I will be integrating this into my apps.

Very helpful, thanks... In Chrome I also have the language set to English with "hl=en" (since it always seems to want to hand me German results instaed). Adding the verbatim search flag resulted in th…

Brute force I'd assume...?

You mention that Children's Technology Review gave you an award. Did you contact them and pitch the app or did they find the app on their own?

According to this article, Music would be a better choice since there are fewer Music apps being submitted. http://www.somegeekintn.com/blog/2011/10/lies-damned-lies-an... …

Thanks Pierre, great stuff! The common thread I keep seeing in app developer success stories is the app being featured in NYT or on the App Store. What do you think most contributed to you being disco…

The best part of that page is comment #4 (quoting)... Reminds me of conferencing calling two Dunkin’ Donuts together and listening silently as hilarity ensued: "Hello, Dunkin Donuts." "Yes, this is Du…
