@Joe: I think the creativity that went into expressing yourself really showed here.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

This submission also marks the first time i’ve created anything using Keynote. So if the PDF looks hideous to you, I hope that explains why.

Wow, that was really great and very different from everything we have seen so far. Very interesting to look at the other side of the software. Great work !
Your App seems to be pretty cool as well. If I had a Treo this would be an app I’d really like to have.

Thanks for picking my entry Miles! This entry also marks a few more firsts for me:

1) First time i’m using Keynote to create anything. If this PDF looks hideous to you – I hope that explains why.

2) First time the new application icon that Fernando Lins (http://www.devixdesign.com/) created for me is seen by the general public. It was due to be used for the next release of FunkeeStory (version 1.1), but because I couldn’t complete it in time, you get to see the icon here first, and not on my own site. Hope everyone likes the new icon! If not, please shout out.

Enjoy reading it – and please support the indie developers!
