Hi everyone!
I've been developing a game for iPhone called Zitstorm and I've used Filter Forge for almost all of the in-game artwork. Here is a link to the Facebook page with screen shots. I'll be submitting it to the App Store this week and hopefully it'll be out very soon!  |

This is the filter I've been using for the main skin. I used Filter Forge to develop the basic look for the game and I liked it so much I've barely modified anything. I separated all the elements that make up the filter into their own sprites and apart from basic levels and adjustments, that's what you see in the game.

And here's another screenshot showing different skin. I was able to get the initial filter made in a few hours in FF and that took care of the majority of the art time. Getting the art made procedurally using Filter Forge meant I had far more development time for the gameplay and other misc. art like the interface and the special effects.

Thanks CFandM
 I think at the moment there's a bit of a renaissance of zit games -- probably because now that you've got multitouch, you can actually squeeze!
After adding some more special effects (made in FF!) and doing some speed improvements, the app has been approved in the app store and you can get it now! 
There's a free version coming very soon (it's being reviewed right now) and I'll post a link to that as well when it's up.   |
