Day 3: Melt

Today’s app is a little game, of sorts. Once you figure out how to get the ice cubes to melt - the next challenge is to see how quickly you can do it! Can you beat the global average?

update: you can view the stats even if you don’t have an iPhone.

    Very neat! Nice to have an app that 2 people can go head to head on. 24.5 seconds is my best so far. Thanks Sean!

  2. Sean Says:

    @gravy: You’re welcome! Good time, too. :) Have fun.

    I,d like to see some more useful apps come out of this, though.

  4. kyle Says:

    Uhm, I don’t get it..

    These apps have been amusing for about 2 seconds. For tomorrow, can you make a usuful app that I won’t uninstall as soon as I’ve installed?

    Thanks

    @kyle #1: useful? that’s no fun… :) (plus it’s considerably more time consuming)

    @kyle #2 / lance: rub the ice cubes.

    @GameJim: You melted the ice cubes in 2 seconds?! Impressive…

  8. Lance Says:

    19.7 here

    @mr iphone: Impressive time! That’s going to be very hard to beat. I don’t think I’ve had one less than 20 myself. The global average has a long ways to go, though.. it’s still at almost 1 minute!

  12. scottjl Says:

    keep up the apps.. useful or not, it’s nice to see someone doing something at all. for all the whiners, code up your own apps or shut up!

  13. gravy Says:

    I’m amazed people are moaning that something free is rubbish. You’re clearly missing the point. If you want something useful, write it yourself! How about some credit to Sean for his time and effort instead?

  14. Matt Says:

    I like your apps so far, they are really amusing. :)

    But the only long-run benefit I see from them is developers and future developers learning from them.

    I still love the apps so far, keep up the good work!

  15. Kevin Says:

    Awesome my time is 23.7

  16. MR Iphone Says:

    well I can’t repeat my time … Lots of 20 bringing the average down though

    My trick… Try 2 fingers on either side…

  17. blue Says:

    this is fun…something to challenge someone with … hehehe … keep up the good work, man … i just don’t get why people whine about free software … if you don’t like it then just uninstall it, you don’t have to whine and bi*ch … anyway, thanks for releasing the code … been really helpful to me …

    Awesome app, the world ranking is a great idea but… I think that you *must* tell the user that some info will be sent through the internet to a server… :-/

    ouch, my finger burns. :-)

  20. alex Says:

    where do I download this?

  21. Yikes Says:

    Umm, anyone check the stats lately… O___________O

  22. owen Says:

    in the time wasted section can you add
    Days
    Years

    thanks, great app, all the rubbing is helping to get all the bubbles out from my screen protector

  23. Spencer Says:

    I cant get under 20…I have gotten 20.0 over 15 times but cant get 19.9

    Just a idea, when u start the game have the ice in the center already…it wastes like 0.7-1.0 seconds just coming into the screen.
