52 Mobile Apps (a year-long mobile app article marathon) published a guest post today by yours truly: Reinventing Ramps: From Flash Curiosity to iOS Success.
The article talks about the design realizations I had between creating the original Flash game and the new iOS title. Here’s a short excerpt:
