Could Be Great With Improvements
Its a fun little $0.99 app, but some improvements will for sure go a long way:
1) Longer fire clips. The clips feel like they are about 10 seconds long, and then they repeat. I may not be exactly right, but that is the feeling I get from watching this.
2) More UI Polish. The UI on this app, while simple, is annoying at best. When you enter fullscreen mode, it does not hide your mouse (it may not be able to as per Apples prohibition of private APIs), but it then makes matters worse by popping up a menu when the mouse is moved. In effect, you try and close the menu and move the mouse to the corner of the screen and the menu pops back up.
3) Like another reviewer, a few more fires (and longer clips of those) would be great.
Overall, its a fun app. But could be something I use on a regular basis is the short duration loops didnt make me slightly nausiated.
