About Relaxabit
 ------------------------------ 
The idea behind this app started about one year ago when real Lava-Lamps got more popular in my country (again) 
They do not only look nice, but can have a very healing effect to your mind. 
I wanted both, to create a visually appealing app and to capture this healing effect. 
I was quickly surprised how complex this "simple" thing turned out. It needs a physical simulation of both liquid and temperature in 3D, together with some mesh-generation-process and rendering, in realtime, or at least very fast.

 Usage 
------------------------------
- -use the Play button the start/stop the simulation -tap at the display to rotate, move and zoom the scene
-there is one special "empty" lamp-type which only shows the lava-simulation
-use the Randomize-button to randomize lamp-, lava- and light-parameters
-use the sections at the bottom to fine-tune settings
-use the Reset-button to reset simulation-settings and render-settings to their defaults 

Pro Mode 
------------------------------ 
I optimized the hell out of it :-), but still it is a very computation-heavy app. Therefore you may test the app completely before buying it. 
I think it will not work well on every supported device (but will not harm it in any way). So, just give it a try, it is free to test, and does not have any ads. 
In order to really enjoy the app and get permanent access to all features, you may purchase pro-mode in the App Store.

 For one purchase you will get the following:
 1. access to simulation-settings like speed and resolution 
2. material-settings of both the lava-lamp and the lava itself
3. light-settings
 4. AR mode
