The 1.1 update now avail on iTunes. What's new: Shootin' hoops basketball game on Home island, Strongman game at the Carnival in Downtown. We submitted this update a few days before OS 3.0 came out, which delayed review by a few weeks. Gracias por su paciencia! on August 02

Something going on in our neighborhood, so we called the ghost busters. Now that we've gotten rid of those ghoulish avatars, it's time to party. Just chatted with someone in Singapore who's following what's going down in Tehran. on June 15

Motropolis iPhone has islands floating in the air that you teleport to. Wouldn't it be fun to throw a water balloon over the edge onto one of the other islands below? Fun as long as one doesn't hit me. If it's a water balloon toss not a boomerang toss, I should be OK. on June 03
