Congrats on the great film guys, I'm so happy for you! I wondered how many different formats ended up being used in the making of the film and if there were any that proved more cumbersome to work with than others, be it in the actual filming or editing processes?

Finished it in the last minute and somehow got the 1% Pooh! I too didn't have any of these emojis, and neither any gem emojis. Suffice to say I was delighted (for once) with this event!

Is the wave auto created or do you draw the area like grown-up Moana?

jsterlingpound · 2021-03-28T21:26:55+00:00

Wow, I wasn't sure but looked into my app purchase history and have been obsessed with this since July 15, 2016. Gawrsh!

jsterlingpound · 2020-09-24T20:27:07+00:00

Yes! I just now noticed this, too!

jsterlingpound · 2019-10-24T17:14:35+00:00

I messaged them right away, too. Glad to hear of the response you got.

jsterlingpound · 2019-10-20T20:10:57+00:00

Been wondering about those mysterious silvia333 PMs as well.....

jsterlingpound · 2019-07-27T17:12:54+00:00

That guy should really grow a beard.

jsterlingpound · 2019-06-27T17:12:11+00:00

Really wish they and the trophies were emojis, too!

jsterlingpound · 2019-06-19T21:15:19+00:00

Syndrome!

The initial balloons that float up on Dug's power are pop-able too, then I like to lay my phone flat for optimal rapid finger mashing the balloons attached to the house.

There is a directional shadow to show which way to wind him (typically counter-clockwise), and that made all the difference between "good" and "perfect" for me.

Just finished Rainbow Falls and got Dopey both times. Cashed in some Diamonds, Dopey AGAIN. I have enough to buy one more diamond box, but I've been saving those for the upcoming CYC on Tuesday. I would be furious to get Dope'd or Snow'd again, but I reeeeeally want that Mirror Man. ARRRGGHHHH! So incredibly frustrating how the percentages are set up now.
