Everyone knows Paul the Octopus from the recent FIFA World Cup, right?
Well, now he's been ported to the iPhone!
Eytan
spearheaded the app with his friend Tamir Furman,
Aaron Wetzler
did the amazing octopus physics,
Oded Ben Dov
chipped in, and eventually we got an app on the appstore! (See

, and lite version

)
There's been some real-world training with this project. A day after we submitted to review, another Paul app showed on the AppStore. A day after two more, and by the time we were approved there were already 17 Pauls. To date there are around 30. We will post a blog on this soon, as it's really interesting on the business side, and important for anyone aiming for the AppStore.
Still, we make for the best octopus, with real gravity simulations and not just some ready made animation. Following are some screenshot examples:
