Stuck in line? Need a break at work? Kids need something to play with? Well... why not jiggle some balls? Jiggle Balls is a "visualization" that will help you pass the time away! Simply tap on the screen to add new balls. Watch them as they fall "realistically" to the ground. Rotate your device and they'll tumble around the screen. Flick the balls and watch 'em fly! And how about those bongo bouncing noises when they hit the side walls? Jiggle Balls uses a revolutionary physics engine to simulate real world forces. You'll be amazed at how much fun it is to see how the balls react to your movements. In fact, put it on your center console in your car or take it with you on the train, subway, or schoolbus and watch the balls slam forward as you brake and then slide backwards as you accelerate. Try it around the corners too... but keep your eyes on the road! Jiggle Balls allows you to change many of the visuals. You can try different colored balls or try different gravity schemes. Watch how the balls would respond if you were in space with no gravity. Or how about EXTREME gravity? SQUASH! And now you can try different weights on the balls, choose your own background from your photo album, and set the bounciness! Jiggle Balls will keep you and your kids entertained for hours. And if your boss walks in on you and you are "jiggling" balls, tell him to visit the App Store and try it himself! New features being added all the time! Watch the video at www.funkyvisions.com. REVIEWS - We were in a long line with my kids today and Jiggle Balls kept my 3 year old entertained until the line was over! - It's always the simple things that are the best. Great job lads. - This app is neat! I used it to help my science class learn about atoms.

◆In a matter of few seconds, your own constellation is created and starts to shine brightly!◆ Easy intuitive motions! Regardless of gender or age, you can make your original constellation, pattern, drawing or symbol in a scribble sensation! ◆Cyclone effect has been added (v1.1) Press the "Rotate" button in the lower left corner and your galaxy will begin to spiral smoothly. (Press again to cancel) You can overlay the effects of touch motion and enjoy more beautiful animation. * During the cyclone effect, "VanishingPoint" and "FollowPoint" are slightly less effective. You can shoot each dot and make a dotted drawing or you can slide your finger as you like! (You can use a maximum of 1,000 points and draw in all directions 360°!) Then, touch the constellation and symbol you made and enjoy a fantastic and dynamic animation! All you need is few seconds of your time and a finger! You can enjoy as you like as many times as you want! The constellation you drew shows many expressions and beautiful animation while you touch the screen. And, if you are lucky to have a device with a gyro function, you can enjoy looking at the galaxy and animation in any angle you like and you can have the best experience as if you are really in the galaxy! You won't get tired of even just looking at it, but it's more fun because you can draw it yourself! You can even move it after you make it! Seeing the animation of beautifully flashing galaxy may even heal you mind psychologically! (ASMR) With Galaxy Paint, you can be the designer of your own galaxy instantly and become a producer! This is real magic! If you are confident with the work that you made, be sure to share it on SNS! ◆Further, there is an extra feature of different special galaxies appearing daily when you start the app! (Please look forward to what it will be) *The picture you took in the app is saved in the "Screenshots" folder. ========Credits======== BGM・SOUNDS: OtoLogic SOUNDS: Sound Effect Lab SOUNDS: Digital Gene FONT[M+2p]: M+ FONTS PROJECT FONT[Dosis]: Impallari Type
