Tap Blaster HD Source Code
When working on our first game, we found there to be a lack of iPhone or iPad sample game code available to aspiring developers. We decided to help fix this problem by releasing the iPad source code to our launch game, Tap Blaster HD.

iPhone and iPad App Marketing Guide
Marketing an iPhone or iPad application is difficult. With 300,000+ apps in the store, making your app stick out from the bunch can be a nearly impossible task. Since we started developing in May 2010, our applications have received praise from the New York Times, Fox Business News, Macworld, and more. We've written an App Marketing Success guide, which we offer as a free download, to help you learn how to better market your app.
iPhone UI Element PSD Guide
Often when prototyping and designing a user interface in Photoshop, it can be useful to have a PSD file sized with proper guides for basic iOS interface elements. We've designed a easy to use PSD file that correctly sizes out the status bar, navigation bar, keyboard, picker view, and tab bar for the Retina display.

iPhone and iPad Icon Sizing Photoshop Action
App icons for iOS applications must be available in specific sizes and formats per Apple specifications. To help make it easier to product the exact size and format file that Apple requires, we've produced this Photoshop action to help resize and save an icon correctly. To use this action, create an icon at a size of at least 512x512 pixels or greater, then run the action and save each respective file. After running the action, you will have correctly saved iPhone app icons at 512, 114, 72, 58, 57, 50, and 29 pixels.
