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:
I didn’t want Ramps for iPhone to feel hermetically sealed. I wanted it to feel friendly, approachable and alive.
So I gave the ball a face.
When the ball was inanimate, only the player’s pride was at stake. The introduction of another personality, however subtle, elicits their empathy. The ball’s well-being is in his or her hands.
