I have just released an interactive storybook for the iPad called Rex The Roach. Its about a robot cockroach who doesn't listen to his mum and gets lost. Rex meets lots of characters trying to find his way home.

Spine was great to use. Really speed up development time! The project started with traditional frame by frame drawn animation but switched to Spine during the project. Have still used some traditional animation for turning characters around but Spine supports that too!

Neat use of Spine, thanks for sharing! This is the perfect type of game to pack tons of animations into.

Yes, I had a lot of fun doing the animations. Spine let me concentrate on the animations without getting too bogged down in the drawings. The new FFM stuff should help a lot in future work.
