Then I thought you made the iPhone one simplified because of the smaller interface - and I though well you could just change the options with a swipe. Then I realized that's what you did. I think that you might need simple instructions in the iPhone(or like a temporary "swipe to see more" text that pops up every time you open the app for 10 secs) even though most kids are smarter than me, most parents are probably not. 

Ah! Yeah, that's something we should do. The iPhone version really is a bit of an afterthought... even a bit conflicted, perhaps we should've only put up the iPad version. It sucks that the iTunes preview link also shows the iPhone screenshots by default.

There should be sounds, but they won't play when the phone is muted. Cannot test it on a physical device right now since I lost my iPhone in the train yesterday :( *feelings of withdrawal*

Hahah :) all kids who see the app say this. It would be quite complicated to do (drop SVG) but yes — it would make the app much more fun...

No. :)

Good one... moving bubbles... clouds.. etc. Right now the art is a relatively straight-up conversion from Illustrator, I have to investigate if translation within Webkit-SVG is a bit performant. Perhaps do convert all the layers to bitmaps, cut up the elements, add some bones...

One for each background :)
