StuffIt: Playroom is a free app that lets you throw around the stuffed animals of the upcoming game StuffIt by Michael Allar and Team Forecourse.

You can check out details about StuffIt as the game is developed on IndieDB at http://www.indiedb.com/games/stuffit

During the development of StuffIt with the Unreal Development Kit, at one point in the pipeline our 3d characters needed to be rigged, imported, and assigned physics assets. Basically, this means they have to be turned into ragdolls. Inorder to test our ragdolls, we put them all in a room and started flinging them around. The game StuffIt isnt a physics based game but instead a third person shooter, however we had so much fun throwing these stuffed animals around that we decided to release a free app of our testing room.

Once loaded up, you can spawn stuffed animals in a room and throw them around with your fingers. Turns out that after 3 or 4 ragdolls, performance starts to not be so great, however we ran into some VERY INTERESTING RESULTS with lots of ragdolls so we decided to leave it uncapped as a feature, not a bug.

There are also some other features that are not bugs, and that involves the stuffed animals becoming stretchy, sticking to things, becoming dismembered, melting, exploding, turning inside out, going into epileptic shocks, etc. We found this highly entertaining, and thus are not aiming to fix this any time soon.

Also, gravity is based on the orientation of the device. Sometimes gravity is flipped, in this case we recommend turning your device around. Inverting gravity is a feature, not a bug. :D

Hope you have as much fun as we have torturing these stuffed animals as we did and still do.

Ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated, and while we are busy working on StuffIt, if we have time we will try to update StuffIt: Playroom based off of your comments.

We are aware that our UI is ugly. A future update might take care of that. The UI is solely programmer art.

Remember to check out StuffIt!
