ME:	I've been working on an idea for a Windows Phone 7 game and I'd really like your feedback and ideas.

ME:	How about this? Since the game is written using Silverlight, why don't I just give you a link to a Silverlight Web version of the game, which uses the same source code, and you can give that a go?

In DroppyPop, you control a rag doll which is falling through an endless sky of balloons. Pop as many balloons as you can for points while avoiding the bombs and baddies along the way.

I've been developing DroppyPop using the methods I described in a previous blog post, namely using multi-targeting to create both a Silverlight Web version and a Windows Phone 7 version using the same source code. I develop about 90% of the time in the Silverlight Web project, and then use Linked Files from a Windows Phone 7 project to build a version for WP7. This has a couple of major advantages:

• It's faster to compile and run outside of the WP7 emulator
  
• You end up with both a Windows and Web version

This method has been working great for me, and there are only a few instances where I need to use compiler directives to use different logic for the two platforms. This is possible because Microsoft did a fantastic job on the port of Silverlight for the Phone!

Your Feedback... Please!

Let me know what you think of DroppyPop. Does the concept work? Are there any bugs? Would you pay 99 cents for the full version? :)

You can leave feedback here in the comments, or inside the game under Options/Feedback.
