Prepare to save the town - with nothing more than your finger! Finger's are very powerful devices. They can be used to save Holland, dial a random person in Hawaii, and launch nuclear missiles. But in this game, you use your finger to squish demons who are trying to invade a town full of wimpy, whiny peasants.

I've always loved soda caps, especially the 'classic' ones. They've just got such neat designs! When I searched in the iPhone App Store and found practically no presence of soda or bottle cap apps, I knew something had to be done! And that something, is called Tumblecaps

I'm going to need a lot of coffee for this. Like, a real lot of coffee. A gallon an hour perhaps. Not at first, of course - initially I'll just need a few mugs a day. This will quickly ramp up to a gallon an hour, which I will insist on drinking from a collector's cup shaped like a whale.
