Now available for Android and IOS. Isopod - I converted the game from the Ipad, recoding from scratch employing the original graphics. I was able to feature the accelerometer, touchscreen and high quality animation.

I can turn over product quickly to suit anyone’s needs. My development on the Android OS utilizes the sdk and available apis, employing a number of attributes such as the touch screen, voice recognition, scaling, the accelerometer, vibrations, audio, and others.
