In the original version we made three years ago, you can also go swim under water (click symbol bottom right): http://labs.gooengine.com/pearl-boy/

Couldn't get the swimming to work on my Nexus unfortunately. Tapping on the icon of the boy with flippers did nothing. Cool demo otherwise!

darn! but yeah it's very old so might be broken on some systems :)

http://goocreate.com/ looks pretty cool - just signed up.

Check out the forum at forum.goocreate.com and let us know what you think. We are looking for ways to improve the platform to make it easier for people to use and more open too.

Hey, I have a quick UI suggestion that might help with on-boarding:

In the create new UI, the name field needs to be more obvious. Since the template thumbnails command so much immediate attention, it took me a minute to figure out what was wrong when I was trying to create a canvas and the blue button at the bottom was disabled.

Indeed. We are in the process of adopting more of a google docs flow to document creation. This would mean having the templates right in your dashboard and then getting sent directly into the scene when selecting a template. You can always give a name to your scene at a later time. Thank you for the feedback :)

Great feedback! Thanks!
