Fun, but it likes to crash when loading levels. For a while it crashed when trying to go to the second level, which I fixed by force-restarting the app, and just now when reloading level 2 after a failed attempt. iPad 1, iOS 5.1.

did you make the artwork yourself?
Everything was done by yours truly in Fireworks. I wrote a custom extension that I use to create both the artwork and the levels inside of Fireworks.
Great to hear someone else using Fireworks. I feel like it gets ignored by Adobe in favour of Illustrator, but it's really a fantastic tool.

is the level editor your own or another product?
I built it myself. It is in the form of a Fireworks extension. I lay out the levels inside of Fireworks and export both the art and the level as a package. I will open source it eventually.
I was an early contributor to Cocos2d, Riq was always looking for a good level editor and produced his own eventually (http://www.sapusmedia.com/levelsvg/) but it was a bit limited. I'm sure he'd be interested in your work, have you reached out to him?
Knowing nothing about Fireworks, in what language did write the plugin?

#74I can't stop laughing at the name of the app. It's fantastic!

#75Depending on how Rovio take this I would love to see some form of collab (bet it partnered or purchased)
I can see a PvP multiplayer feature, one player in Angry Birds, one player in Misunderstood Pigs, phone vs phone multiplayer goodness.

#76Awesome idea. What did you use for the physics engine?
Re: Show HN: I Created the Inverse of Angry Birds
#77I hope Rovio sees this, finds it as hilarious as I did, keeps their head about them, then finds a way to work with you on developing the idea.
Unless it's freemium, I don't see why they wouldn't find it hilarious.
Charging or not charging for an infringing work isn't relevant. Personally I hope they give him a job with a hefty options grant.

#78Funny seeing this within days of the iPhone version of Plants vs. Zombies adding a mode where you control the zombies. (Feature already existed in Flash version; requires in-game currency to play most of it).

There's an argument that this counts as fair use case. And in that case, charging or not charging can make a difference.

+1, in fact I'm still a fireworks 8 junkie, I still can't find a better product for web layout and super quick vector/raster work.
