I know I've been talking quite a bit about our upcoming Educational app, Mystery Math Town.
And I've also shown you some pretty nice pictures (if you haven't seen the virtual trading cards, you should check them out).
But none of that comes close to actually playing the game - and that's what has us so excited.
In fact, I'm playing the game right now.
Did I go too far?
Am I dangerously close to the line between an artful tease and just being mean?
If so, I apologize.
With just a couple of weeks to launch, our enthusiasm is boiling over and I really want to share it with you.
I've got an idea.
It's the next best thing to playing the game...
Presenting the Mystery Math Town app trailer.
It's the ultimate tease.
We used the awesome Reflector app for the screen capture and Lis constructed the trailer in Flash (yes, it's still good for something).
We hope you enjoy it.

Original icon
New icon after a good scrubbing
And you thought we were done talking about icons.
Check out the latest and greatest Mystery Math Town icon.
Sure, at first glance it looks like the original (new) icon but look closer...
It seems in our haste to settle the great icon design debate, we overlooked icon design rule #675 - overloaded detail and too many competing design elements are bad (especially when reduced to a quarter size of a postage stamp).
So we set our Aussie artist, Lis, on the task of cleaning the icon up to read better across all sizes.
Looking at them side by side now in the harsh light of day, even the large version of the original looks murky and yes, a little confused, beside the new and improved polished version.
Things are moving quickly now as we prep to submit the final app build to Apple next week, so stay tuned.
Next up, our app video teaser...
