First let me thank all those who visit on a regular basis. I realize it has been some time since I have posted any updates.

Thanks again for all the support,

ForcedFeed was down for a couple days following a failed WordPress update. Everything should be back to normal but please let me know if you find any issues or broken links, thanks!
I have decided to release the complete project source for several of my iOS games/apps. You are welcome to do whatever you like with it. To download, go to the Apps page and select an app that shows “Source Available”

Space2D:FallDown for Android has been released to the Android Market!
Simple, yet challenging, Space2D: FallDown is a fun new take on the falldown game. You must be quick to avoid the treacherous spikes at both the top and bottom.
