Update #3: Great news!
Well despite our efforts to make our funding goal, I have some great news! The project was noticed by a company called Pyntail, developer of over 100 apps, and they loved it! We have since partnered and the app is going into production. It should be done and available on the Iphone and Ipad fairly soon. Yay!
Unfortunately there will be no Droid version anytime soon. Turns out there is no way to port it over without pretty much starting over. That and the fact that Droid app sales are very low in comparison, so it just doesn't make much sense at this time. But I realize there are those of you who would like to see it on the Droid, so I will try to make that happen down the road if possible.
But I do want to thank you all again for your continued support, and for your willingness to give your hard earned cash to help me with my little app. It really means a lot to me, and you will not be forgotten.
So keep your eyes peeled folks, Wack in the Box should be available before the holidays. Whoo hoo!
Have a beautiful day! And thanks again!
Brian
Update #2: It's not over till the little monster screams
Ok so the Wack Kickstarter project has come to a close, and without reaching our goal. Very unfortunate, but in no way the end of our story. Rest assured that Wack in the Box will be made, one way or another, and sooner than later. We still have many options, some even cheaper than the one we were shooting for. We'll get there!
The good news for you, my backers is, none of you were charged a cent for your generous donations, which I so deeply appreciated. If I only had one supporter who appreciated my work, it would be enough to keep me going as a creator. And I had 30 people back this project. For that I am very grateful. So a huge thank you to you all, for your support, and your belief in me. I hope you will continue to do so, while I figure out the next move. Just know that you have my promise, which I have already made to myself, that Wack in the Box will be made, ASAP!
If you still wish to help make Wack a reality, feel free to make a donation on my app site, WackApps.com, by clicking the DONATE button (through PayPal) which can be found at the bottom of the page. Here is a link... http://wackapps.wordpress.com/wack-in-the-box/
Thanks again for everything. I won't forget your kindness. I will do what I can to get each of you a "free" code to get the app for free, once it is finally released.
Your friend,
Brian Castleforte
Update #1: Now only need to raise $4000 instead of $8000
I found an investor who has promised to pledge $4000 if I raise the initial $4000 first. So at the time of this posting, we only need $2976 more! :)

This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal on August 15, 2010.
Pledge $3 or more
A public mention and thank you on the world wide interweb. A genuine air hug from Me & Wack. And a promise from Wack to never, ever eat you, or anyone in your immediate family, ever. And probably the coolest sticker ever made, or at least that you've ever seen.
Pledge $11 or more
All of the above, plus a free copy of the app when it is released. An incredibly cool, limited edition Wack button, that will make you look super awesome.
Pledge $19 or more
All of the seriously sweet stuff above, and, 4 additional, incredibly cool, limited edition, Wack buttons (that's a full set) which will make you not only look super awesome, but feel it too. And, a totally bitchen, signed, (by the artist, that's me) limited, mini print of one of my original characters, that will make your wall look totally awesome too.
Pledge $39 or more
Not only all of the unbelievably killer pile of awesomeness listed above, but a totally radical t-shirt, featuring one of my original designs, which will most likely make you the most popular person in your area code, and definitely the coolest.
Pledge $59 or more
Okay, so you get that humungous stack of some of the greatest things ever to be given away, in the history of the universe, ever, aaaaaannnnnd, another, even bigger, signed, limited, original print, that will make your friends wet themselves every time they visit.
Pledge $99 or more
You get all that stuff, the t-shirt, the prints, the buttons, the sticker, the free app, and another seriously dope t-shirt, but this one will be an exclusive, Wack t-shirt, that you will want to wear everywhere, for the rest of your life. Even in the shower, because you will never want to take it off, because it's that cool. Seriously. For reals.
Pledge $249 or more
The tees, the prints, app, all that stuff that is sure to make your head explode, your name in the credits of the app, and a totally freak'n awesome, extremely limited, custom, full color, Wack skate deck, signed by Me & Wack of course. Lucky!!!
