Bot Garage now in iTunes!

October 13th, 2011

Over the past year it has been our privilege to work closely with Random House and David A. Carter and Noelle Carter to concept and develop an application which would capture the essence of the brand-new pop-up book LOTS OF BOTS in a fun for the whole family application.  We are pleased to announce that the culmination of this effort,  Bot Garage , is now available in the App Store!


Available on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch,  Bot Garage  gives you the chance to build your own collection of wonderfully wacky robot friends. With the ability to create over 100,000 unique bots, there’s almost no end to your creativity.

Choose from a wide selection of bot heads, bodies, arms, legs and silly accessories to design the perfect bot, give your bot a name,choose one of 10 cool places to play and watch your bot come to life with animation and sound effects. Then, save your bots and share them with friends!

Bot Garage is now available for purchase in the iTunes store

LOTS OF BOTS, from David A. Carter and Noelle Carter is available wherever books are sold.

Smashing Welcomes Woofster!

September 10th, 2011

Super Cute and with Dictionary Power! Woofster joins the Super Why cast of characters and the team at Smashing has a super time collaborating with the show creators to add this character to superwhy.com. Creating the 2D character to fully represent what kids see on-air and adding his personality via animations to the site was a delight. Be sure to catch the premiere of season 2 and check the site weekly as Woofster unlocks new words in his Doggie Dictionary. Plus, stay tuned for the Doggie Dictionary AIR App, which will also be launching within the next few weeks, as well as Woofster’s first game, Journey to the Golden Bone, which will be launching in about a month. Puptastic!!

Ultimate Sharks!

September 9th, 2011

Creating a definitive application on sharks is no easy feat, but when MyDiscovery asks you to be their partner on the endeavor, you know it will be a very deep dive into treacherous waters to bring these creature to life on the iPad.

Working with the amazing team at MyDiscovery, Smashing co-created Ultimate Sharks, an immediate #1 Book Application in the App Store and the iPad App of the Week for the week of 7/29-8/4. 3D sharks, attack stories, over 3 hours of video, more than 250 photos, Airplay enabled and a handy GPS locator to let the user know that they are (or are not), far away from where the these deadly creatures have struck (ah, a slight sense of security). One of our first apps to be rated 17+ on the app store, so not for the little ones!

Check it out at the App Store and take a swim, if you dare.

This is a fun connect-3 game developed to support this special episode. Watch for the secret code on-air on Nick September 5 for a special secret unlock!
