1.05

I've just uploaded version 1.05 to the app store. Expect it to come out the other end of Apple's QA in about a week.
It took longer than I'd hoped (the joys of fatherhood!) so I bumped some of the features I wanted to a later update (hints, a prettier garden, performance improvements). What it does have is a spiffy new page-turn effect (it's cooler than it sounds!), and an action replay feature.
Action replay was suggested by player 'Cogunn', and I kicked myself for not thinking of it first. If you've been struggling for hours on a particular puzzle, the petal shower is a meagre reward. Now you can press the little 'replay' button (top right, during the petal shower) and watch the frog retracing your footsteps.
The replay function in the original Civilization was one of my favourite parts of the game, and I was always disappointed that they dropped it for the sequels.

Replay feature and new effects are very nice!
Well done! I've just updated my review in the App Store.
I have been showing this to my friends. They are all very impressed and are now making plans to buy iPhones just so they can play. I showed it to my friends 16 year old daughter and then struggled to get my iPhone off her when I was leaving. I'm sure next time I see her she will be asking to play the "Frog game" again. :)
