  - Update: Higher res built-in backgrounds
  - Bug Fix: Fixed custom image picking on 4.4+ devices
  - BugFix: Fixed resizing problem on 4.4+ devices

The backgrounds are quite a lot sharper now, which makes a pretty big difference on some devices.  Beyond that, this is a maintenance update with the usual bonuses included. :)

Snowfall Live Wallpaper v2.25

  - Update: More snow!  There's a higher setting than before!
  - Update:
Additional snowflake type!
  - New Feature: Daydream support on 4.2+ devices
  - Bug Fix: Resizing issue on Android 4.4 devices
  - Bug Fix: Fixed missing top of tree
  - Google Play Link

Snowfall hasn't been updated in a while, so this maintenance release gained a number of extras as a result.  Firstly, Snowfall will now work as a Daydream if you have a supported device.  I'm surprised it went this long without that being added, sorry about that folks.

A couple minor feature updates have happened, notably the former 'blizzard' is now simply 'heavy' snow.  Head to your settings and you'll find 'blizzard' has been moved up a notch.  The top setting should be roughly 40% more snow than previously.

There's also a new snowflake type, simply called 'small'.  This is a more realistic snowflake size than the other two.

On the art front, the backgrounds are a little more dense than previously, and the tree that everybody says was missing its top now has one.  :P

Enjoy!

Prismatic Live Wallpaper v1.3

  - New Feature: Crop/rotate your custom images!
  - Update: New built-in image - Streaks!
  - Bug Fix: Resizing issue on Android 4.4 devices
  - Google Play Link

Like the below updates, this is a maintenance release that brings with it a few good extras.  Primarily, you can now crop/rotate your custom images when selecting them, a feature lots of folks have requested.  We're also including a new built-in image that gives a nice gentle background pattern.

The icon is higher res too, which is cool, I guess.

Thunderstorm Live Wallpaper v2.2

  - Bug Fix: Resizing issue on Android 4.4 devices
  - Google Play Link

This is an maintenance update that should fix a resizing problem on devices running KitKat.  Technically, you get higher res icons too.

Koi Live Wallpaper v1.7

  - New Feature: Crop/rotate custom images
  - Bug Fix: Fixed resizing issue on Android 4.4 devices
  - Google Play Link

This is primarily a maintenance update, as we have a resizing problem on KitKat devices.  Basically, when you apply the wallpaper from the preview screen, you see a gap along the top.  It's harmless and goes away if you restart, but looks bad.  This update should fix that.

In addition Koi now is using the crop/rotate window we implemented a little while back, so if you want to pick a custom background you have better control now.  :)

Gallery Live Wallpaper v2.1

  - Update: Increased delay to 5 minutes max
  - Update: Free version image limit raised from 10 to 20

This is a relatively minor update that primarily addresses a complaint I've seen several times -- that folks wanted delays longer than 30 seconds.  This update makes the top end of the bar 300 seconds, so there's a lot more room to be picky.  :)

We've also switched out the static ad in the free version for dynamic ones, and doubled the image limit to make up to the annoyance.

Volcano 3D Live Wallpaper v1.0

  - Google Play Link

Surprisingly, I believe this is the first 3D volcano scene in the live wallpapers category.  As a bonus, it's a good looking one.  :)

This project actually started more than a year ago, and went through several iterations of artwork before finally settling on the final product.  The terrain was sculpted as a high-poly model then rendered down into the real-time mesh you see here.  We tried to make sure there was an interesting foreground in addition to a good looking background, and think the end result here is very nice.

As always there's a number of fun features, including time of day lighting and the ability to cause an eruption by double-tapping on the background.  In the future we can hook this up to phone events, but for now the basics work.  :)

Hopefully folks enjoy!

Wurdle v1.01

  - New Feature: Sensor Portrait support
  - Google Play Link

This is a minor update that changes the icon slightly, and introduces support for Sensor Portrait mode.  This means you can flip your device in either portrait direction and the game will rotate appropriately!  Enjoy!
