Meet your new friend, Chalky, in iChalky! He's a stick figure and his moves only by your hand. Control his movement through the accelerometer and watch him rumble and roll about.
His movement is unpredictable! Adjust spring constants, spring damping, and floor/wall friction to see what moves him. You're able to make him a custom face with photos from your camera roll or a newly taken photo. He can just be about anything or anyone in that case!
Once you've got him in a good spot, tack him down using the thumbtack icon at the bottom (see above picture).
iChalky is one of those apps that let's your see just what your iPhone/iPod Touch can do. This isn't a fancy application with dazzling graphics or gameplay, but rather, a simple entertainment app and utilizes the features of the iPhone to make something entertaining.
Since I don't have a set of headphones with a mic for my 1g iPod Touch, I wasn't able to see Chalky dance, but again, it's a feature that plays on the abilities of your device to make something entertaining.
As far as replay value, it'll be fun see Chalky's movements for the first few rounds. It can be repetitive, however so not everyone will enjoy iChalky. But, if you take the time to appreciate the abilities of iChalky, you could come out with a new experience each time.
Despite that, if you're looking for a well-polished, simple entertainment app, try out iChalky today.

I am the creator of iChalky and I would like to announce the recent release of Sparticle, my new iPhone / iPod Touch game that take's iChalky's physics to the next level in the context of a game that breaks a few molds.
