** Version 1.2 now available - you can now access the Scene Sharing features and download new scenes from within the game! ** Thanks to everyone who has been uploading their custom scenes, there are over 6,000 scenes available for download! Ouch! is an open-ended game about flinging a customizable "rag doll" character through a variety of scenes featuring a huge array of objects, with realistic physics and sounds. For each scene, you are given a "score" based on how much damage the character has taken. The controls are simple: tilt the device to slightly alter gravity, guiding the character into objects -- swipe a finger on the screen to "nudge" the character -- or touch on-screen interactive props such as pinball flippers, cannons, rockets, cars, and more to cause even more damage! --==--==--==--==-- Lite Version Features: * Amazing Ragdoll physics * 5 scenes to try out, plus 3 special scenes created by Ouch! players * Download player-created scenes right from within the game (Lite version is limited to storing only 1 downloaded scene at a time) * 10 built-in game replays showing gameplay from the full version. * Full replay system - watch playback in forward, reverse, slow motion, fast motion and any speed in-between with the intuitive "playback spinner" * Unique "High Impact Tour" of the full version. * Detailed how-to-play instructions --==--==--==--==-- The Full Game Features: * Over 40 pre-built scenes to play * Over 60 props and objects to interact with (crash into, hit, drop, shoot, etc) * Create your own characters with customizable outfits, hats and hairstyles, and faces * Put your friends (or your enemies, or your own!) face on a character by importing pictures from your photo library, or by taking pictures directly with the iPhone camera - complete with multiple facial expressions! Watch your brother/friend/enemy grimace in pain when he gets hit in the head with a falling anvil! (when creating a custom face for a character, you will need 3 images-- one for each expression: normal, happy, and ouch!).

In fact, every scene included with the game was created with the same built-in editor! * Resume Edit feature - if you get a phone call, or have to exit the app while editing a scene, you can resume from where you left off the next time you launch the game. * An iPhone / iPod Touch first! -- Use the innovative "export to image" feature to export your custom scenes and characters to a standard JPG file, which you can email to your friends -- they can import that image into their game, and play your custom scenes, or use your custom characters for themselves!
