    Due to a large number of people having issues with Ball Pit rendering just a black screen when there should be a whole lot more going on we've temporarily removed it from the Market.

    It seems that there is a lot of variability between Android G1 phones.  If you would like to help identify these differences and get Ball Pit back on the Market, then please consider running our simple GLTest app and sending us the resulting log using Log Collector.  Log Collector can be found on the Android Marketplace.  Once you run GLTest a couple of times (if you can) then just run Log Collector and use support@antonstoys.com as the email address. You can get GLTest from your phone by the link below, or by scanning the bar code below.

    It was not half an hour after publishing Ball Pit that the first feature request came in.  So in the spirit of instant gratification, we have released an update to Ball Pit.  You can now control the number of balls on the screen with the options menu.  Thank you to Alex for being the first to leave feedback.

Anton's Toys is proud to be releasing our first Android Toy.  Ball Pit is a physics toy for anyone that has wanted to fill a room with plastic balls and play in them for hours.  Here is a screen shot.



We will be releasing updates to Ball Pit regularly.  Some of our initial improvements are listed below.  If you have a suggestion for an additional feature, or a request that we work on any of these features first, please let us know.
