The FigureRunning Android app is here! We just finished our talk at the Games for Health Conference in Boston and we took this special occasion to launch the FigureRunning app for Android worldwide. You can now get it in Google Play. The crowd loved the FigureRunning virus.
Game designer @billsabram: “This @figurerunning presentation is full of so much joy, inspiration + fun, I can’t stand it. It makes me want to run. And draw! #g4h12“
MIT Education Arcade @EducationArcade:”Figurerunning just might get us all of the couch #gfh12 figurerunning.com/blog/“
We hope to welcome you all as a figurerunners soon! Send us your art at mydrawing@figurerunning.com.
