Super nova

This app is simple and fun. Change the settings and mess with your flock. Awesome app. Thanks. Love the little character changes too.

Very interesting

This app does exactly what it's suppose to do. If you didn't understand the point, then you are (in fact) missing the point. Great job by the programmer and I will be looking forward to your enhancements. Also, one suggestion, could you make the button to change the settings either bigger, or in a better spot. For those of us with big fat fingers, it makes it hard to hit that little sucker :)
