L.O Lady with a hose in the nose..
What an absolutely super fun app. I could play all day. Shape, Color, and motion all in one. it would be great to video tape this, or/and set it to music. I have just started to experiment and I am Gob-smacked. Will it be developed further with more obvious controls?
