I was recently asked by an interviewer to describe my dream iPhone game, the game I would produce if unfettered by the confines of marketability and social norms. I answered earnestly, but was ultimately shut down by OML’s other half, Alex Okafor, the dream policeman. He called my dreams “creepy” and “probably illegal”. So I agreed to provide the interviewer with a watered-down answer, one that did not reflect my true passions as a game designer, as long as I was allowed pour my heart out to our true fans: the OML blog readers.
And now I am proud to present the uncensored schematics for my dream iPhone game:
“I have a couple of dream projects. My favorite is like a Tickle Me Elmo, but it’s better because you can take him around with you in your pocket, on your iPhone. You can tickle him all over and wear headphones, so that only you can hear how happy you are making Elmo. That way what happens between Elmo and me stays private, instead of everyone staring and possibly misinterpreting.
The best part is that you can use the phone’s camera to take pictures of strangers, and then you can tickle the strangers. That adds a social aspect to the game, and contributes to my premise of ‘touching the world’. You could even upload and share your favorite strangers with your friends, or with other strangers!”

Someone changed our banner to tease next month’s new update, but they forgot to show off the new weapon. They just put a question mark! I’ll get on that ASAP.

Adam don’t be sad. If it makes you any happier, i would have bought the game.
what willl the new update include?
A new game mode called Frostbite and a new weapon. More details as we approach the release next month.
I would have bought it too! Which one of you is the funny one? Or do both of you write? What could the unfiltered version have had…..
Tilt to Live is a nice game XD sadly Frostbite is coming out when I have exams at school or either EQAO DX
I freaking love your game. Cannot wait for the new update, it will have me all excited over the game again I am sure!
I just noticed that you havent updated the app description to say that you have added the two new modes. Also it says you only have 27 awards (I think theres around 31 now).
It’s all part of our plan, Gennaro: to confuse people into loving us. Our description is adorably inaccurate. We’ll fix it when we submit this month’s update, tonight or tomorrow.
Ha!
Also I didn’t realize there was going to be an update this month. Can’t wait.
The interns fixed it. I can see the weapon now 😀
