About Cosmic Top

The toy top that buzzes with sci-fi sounds and glows with limitless, colorful shapes...

Best of iPhone Entertainment in the US and 8 other countries - App Store Rewind 2011

Cosmic Top is a toy, a 3D audiovisual physics simulation of a spinning, wobbling, and morphing top. The top floats among stars and takes on unlimited colorful shapes and sci-fi sounds which glow and hum in stereo from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Swipe to spin it, pinch to zoom it, or hold to brake it. If you rotate your device, you can see and hear the top from all sides. Record your own spin and tumble sounds and then hear both tracks played back in sync with the motion of the top. Create and share video of your favorite top action. Edit echo effects, color flow, and spin inertia of each top style. Best of all, with a touch of the cosmic button, a new cosmos of sight and sound will be created for you to explore.

"Cosmic Top is the first sheer toy I’ve downloaded for my iPad, and I love it… This app is highly recommended."
- 5/5 Outstanding! - John Martellaro, the Mac Observer

"Cosmic Top is about as much fun as you can imagine on an iPad." - 5/5 - Phillip T. Stephens, iPad Envy

"I have to say Cosmic Top is definitely a game changer… Pick it up and have yourself a little fun and impress your friends." - 5/5 - App Safari

"Seriously Buy This App!" - iJailBreak

FEATURES
- Realistic physics simulation via Euler's equations for rotating bodies
- Simple and intuitive multi-touch control with each touch adding to the motion
- Uses Three-axis gyro
- Unlimited shapes and sounds generated from randomized mathematical functions providing lots of replay value
- Fun for both young and old

In no time, the magic of its gyroscopic and kaleidoscopic wheeling, whirring, and whirling will hypnotize you. We hope you enjoy it.

"When you get it spinning really fast, the sounds get crazy excellent!" - Billy P. Sassafras, 10-Year-Old App Enthusiast

"Wow! It's like, full of stars. The audiovisual experience is psychedelic… cool…" - Dr. David Bowman, Hip Fictional Character

"It is neat to watch the polhode roll without slipping on the herpolhode." - Louis Poinsot, French Mechanics Nerd
