I am pleased to belatedly announce that IsoCards has won the AppStar awards contest!
For the 2nd time AppsFire has held the AppStar awards contest that seeks new and innovative iPhone apps from small developers, and for the 2nd time I entered this contest. The first time my entry IsoWords made it to the finalist round, but ultimately lost the create-your-own scrolling shooter SketchNation Shooter.
I decided to enter IsoCards into the next installment of AppStar at the last minute. I was already rushing to meet Apple’s deadline, and then I decided to go to my “dark place” and whip together an entry for the contest. In fact, I made the entry video on the last possible day using only Quicktime and iMovie.
I didn’t think IsoCards had a chance at winning. I knew it was an interesting app, and people had responded very well to it, but it wasn’t a traditional game and the competition was intimidating. In fact, I was so sure that IsoCards wasn’t going to win that I didn’t even check the results of the competition when they were announced at 360iDev on Monday, April 12th. Instead, I found out the next day from an internet cafe in Brazil!
Well, now I’m back from Brazil and I have a lot of work ahead of me. Here is just a sample of what is in store for Opetopic:
- A huge IsoCards update coming soon
- The ad campaign for IsoCards from AppStar
- A brand new game is in its nascent stages with a new collaborator
I will post more details on these subjects soon…

Congratulations Michael! Keep up the good work.
Congrats. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
IMO Isocards needs a chips feature and it would be the ultimate game ever!!
Hey Dan, chips are in the next update. I will be making a blog post soon to show all the new features and the update should be going out very soon.
Thanks!
