Needlefelting is a loooong time consuming process but you get some amazing results. Folks should check out woolbuddy.com for inspiration.

#5Fwiw: I am on an android and can't get it to play, which is a shame because I would really like to see it. My mom sews beautifully. I have an aunt who crochets, etc. I would love to see this.

#6The concept reminds me of Platypus, a side scroller from olden days.
The author all the elements from modeling clay, aka plasticine, but lost most of his clay in an apartment fire and ended up mushing all the colors together in one ugly grey blob to make enough to make one model at a time, photograph it, and the color it in software.
As time consuming as that sounds, I'm sure my children and I spent more time enjoying it.

I actually use a Galaxy Nexus myself, but I decided to switch from Corona SDK (cross platform) to objective-C and cocos2d! I guess ideally I intend for it to be played on the iPad, but I definitely want to port to Android when I'm done!

Thanks, and the woolbuddy.com dude is amazing! Saw him and his giant needlefelted creatures at the Maker Faire a couple years ago.
