Very interesting the choice of use the clay animation, even if the cartoon sprites don't give credit to your hard work. I hope that my words not have sound haughty, I really appreciate your enterprise on doing something new in the App Store.
Thank you for your kind words! @LadyNeddy, Thanks! And I agree with you.. The reason is that there are about 25 animated characters in the game, so I had to find a way to minimize the number of colours in the sprites, to reduce file size and improve gameplay performance. Using the actual clay pictures just wouldn't work. @jalexander: Thanks!

It was believed to inhabit clouds and occasionally fall to earth during thunder storms. Its body is the shape of a cat or a tanuki.InstructionsTilt the iPhone to move left or right. Press the button, drag it upwards (to adjust power) and release to jump. Try to jump from cloud to cloud. You can float between clouds, but only as long as your energy level is above zero. Eat small birds to increase your energy. Catch bigger birds and creatures by jumping on them. When you see the big hot air balloon, jump into it. When you have completed levels, you can see your high score (as moon face expressions) by clicking the moon icon in the select level page.
