Demolition comes to the iPhone

Mark Anthony, Press Officer for the NFDC writes, "You know how it is: Christmas lunch is over for another year; the Queen’s Speech is an hour away; and you’re sat on the sofa wearing a new sweater that looks like an explosion in a textile factory that was bought for you by one of your nearest and dearest.   And the one thing that you want, that you really, really want, is just a little bit of demolition to help pass the time.

Well, for anyone with an iPhone (or who is lucky enough to get one as a gift), you can have just that without leaving the comfort of your sofa."


A new iPhone app, Implode, allows users to ply their explosive demolition skills on a number of increasingly complex 2D structures, earning money for the level of demolition achieved.   Additional money can be earned by using explosives more sparingly.

Mark has been using the app for the past few weeks and has racked up a total of $121,365 and achieved Craftsman status; not bad for someone who just writes about demolition but surely beatable by someone who actually knows what they’re doing!

iPhone users wishing to help pass Xmas Day orchestrating their own 2D blowdowns or who merely want to show Mark how it should be done can download a “Lite” version of the app free or can purchase the full version for the princely sum of 59p from the Apple App Store.

We’d love to hear how you get on.
