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!

Wurdle Leaderboards fix

Due to an error on our part, there's been problems accessing the Wurdle Games Services leaderboards over the last few days.  This has been taken care of, and should be smooth sailing going forward.

This problem was largely hidden from us due to our accounts all being listed in the game's test accounts list.  Any folks working on a Games Services product, make sure you check with some non-test accounts upon release.
