The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

9.1.10: TileWild for iPhone and iPod Touch by The Depreciation Guild Inc.

Kurt Feldman (The Depreciation Guild, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart) and Hayden Cacace made an awesome game involving tiles and going wild, plus Kurt did all the music. Seriously, I was sitting in the living room while he was making the songs and I am humming them to this day. So tropical. Anyway, I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did I’d definitely invest the requisite 99 cents.
