## What is FireworksToy?

A simple diversion for the iPhone and iPod touch.

FireworksToy is a very simple little application that displays fireworks on your iPhone or iPhone touch.  Start the application and enjoy your very own soothing fireworks display.

The fireworks respond to gravity. No matter how you orient your device, the fireworks will always fall "down".

Tap on the screen and a firework will be launched towards the location you tapped.

Drag your fingers across the screen and dozens of colorful fireworks will be launched towards the path your fingers traced.

TIP: use your device's built-in Safari browser along with your favorite search engine to find images of your favorite cities or landmarks at night. Next, you can tap and hold on the pictures to save them to your camera roll. Now they'll be available to use as backgrounds in FireworksToy!

PLEASE NOTE: FireworksToy was originally created as the victory overlay for Mü but Steve thought that it was fun enough to play with that he decided to also release it for FREE as a stand-alone application.  We realize that this is hardly a top-tier application but we thought that making it available for FREE would be a NICE gesture. Those of you who are expecting more should probably look elsewhere. To the rest of you: we hope you enjoy playing with it!

### 4/5 — Cool fireworks, but needs SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

*2015-08-04, version 2.1*

### 4/5 — :-) Спасибо за игру

*2014-04-02*

### 5/5 — 3 thumbs up

*2014-02-19, version 2.1*

Mesmerizing! Absolutely mind blowing!  The first time I was able to indulge in this addictive visual display of beauty, I was stuck on the screen for who knows how long.  I remember being up and about that week telling everyone about the app.  I appreciated the colors, the shapes, size, and every single sizzle, twinkle and sparkle throughout the entire show he programmed.  I consider the app to be a vivid burst of eyeball happiness. It had to have been a scientific breakthrough or a proud historic point for the entire human race.  iPhones were already great, but now they have the ability to put on a world class fireworks display right on top of any choice background that I desire.  That's the American standard of Intelligence, Ingenuity and authentic craftsmanship!  This Invention is worthy to be proclaimed a masterpiece of unmatched talent.  As for myself, I believe it is genius above the average levels of anything close to or beyond man's comprehensive ability.

### 3/5 — Just a suggestion.

*2013-07-12, version 2.1*

I would appreciate it if you didn't make the fireworks go so fast and try to make them a LITTLE realistic. Not being picky but it would be nice.
