Kalimba's Latest App Store Effort -- Word Flurry

[Kalimba]

Just wanted to post the description of my latest effort. I know that everyone isn't into word games, but I am. I looked closely at some of the more popular App Store words games I was playing and decided that they were mostly interesting, but didn't have the most friendly, fun and/or attractive user interfaces. So I built my own game, Word Flurry, to address those issues.

If I've ever helped you in the forums, and you're waiting to return the favor somehow, please have a look at Word Flurry and give it a fair rating. I think I've built a fun, entertaining game with (most importantly) a responsive UI, and I think others will like it too. Check my signature for the relevant links.

Word Flurry App Store description:
Prepare for what may be the easiest to play word anagram game yet. Word Flurry takes the classic anagram word finding game and adds what the other games are missing -- playability. You’ve played the rest, now play the best!

The Word Flurry rules are simple: arrange the 6 puzzle letters into as many words as possible. Play a Casual game at your own pace, or play against the clock for an added Challenge.

Features:
★ Slick user interface built specifically for speedy game play and ease of use.
★ Over 1,000 hand-crafted puzzles, using the Tournament and Club Word List, TWL06.
★ Play puzzles with the full unabridged dictionary, or with common "everyday" words only.
★ Comes with soothing background music, or play your own iPod tunes.
★ Crisp, colorful graphics and animation.
★ Uses OpenGL for better responsiveness.
★ Designed specifically for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Don’t wait, pick up Word Flurry today! But be warned -- the ease of use makes this game very addictive, and once you’ve played Word Flurry, you may find the others impossible to play! Word Flurry will quickly set the standard for usability.

Made entirely in the USA. Support indie game development!

Got to love how the admin uses his privileges to sticky his own thread self promoting himself...

For the record, this isn't the first time -- nor will it be the last -- that a Shameless Advertising thread posted by a "contributing member" has been stickied in this forum. It was done when Smasher released Dead Panic, and now again for my latest app. Having a sticky thread in this forum is a way the Admins and I reward those members who demonstrate site contributions above and beyond expectation. In due time, all stickies in the forum are eventually unstuck, so that should put your mind at ease... or not -- I don't really care either way.

Once again for the record, this moderator is an unpaid volunteer here at this site. I'm online nearly every day, not only answering questions where I can, but keeping everything neat and tidy behind the scenes. But if the member consensus is that I don't deserve the stick thread, I'll be happy to unstick it myself.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Kalimba has a post count >2000 and obviously helped a lot of developers out there...

I think it's okay to have threads stickied for a couple of days to shamelessly advertise the apps of vivid contributors to this forum.

the app looks awesome, btw.

App looks great congratulations, you definitely deserve a sticky for the help you gave the community, like smasher did in his day. How do I become a Supporter?

There should be a "Support Us" link at the end of the navigation bar near the very top of the page.

I think this is a great way to say to all the contributors "Thank you very much for your selfless help". I also think that not only Kalimba or smasher deserves it, but all of them. All of the members that helped us and they still will in the future.
I'm pretty new to this forum and when I got in I had 0% knowledge of mac's platforms. I grab a couple of books from the store and started to reading them, but I can assure you all that most of the knowledge I acquired came from here and this site's contributors.
We owe them.

i would be curious to see all the apps by all the contributing members. should be a page for that

Because I'm a supporter, does that mean I can post a sticky advertising an App!?
