Swimeo

   Turns out that once you have your basic platforming physics in place it's pretty easy to tweak the variables to create swimming physics.

   The hardest part was probably getting Swimeo to exit the water easily and consistently. It eventually took treating the top row of water as a different type of tile with its own unique physics.

   The 2-bit Swimeo sprite (the only one I've done so far) is adorable. I'll share once I complete the others. In the meantime, here's another blurry video with me rambling. Again, for the time being, Dribbble eyes only please.

   The red and blue in this shot are from the invisible Ground layer used for collision detection and physics context switches.

   Is the 'keyboard' always visible on the screen? (it appeared that way in the video)

   *edit* reading the comments it looks like it is. Really original!

   This project looks great, and it's great to see the progress in Dribbble.

   Man, these video demos are damn fun. Also agreeing with Ethan re: control overlay. You might be starting a new standard here.

   Something I've been wondering: Will it be a native iPhone app or a webapp (like Pie Guy)?

   Drooling over all of this Shaun. Really loving the controller overlay and the demo videos. I hope you keep 'em up!
