The Breakroom

iPhone and iPod touch users are discovering the frantic fun of our latest application, Pickin’ Time. This elimination-style game pits you against Harold the Bunny or up to 21 of your closest friends as you race to pick vegetables as fast as you possibly can.

Now, Iconfactory artist David Lanham is pleased to bring the illustrated veggies of Pickin’ Time to your desktop in the form of this week’s freeware icon release. All 21 veggies are here, from the dreaded cabbage to everyone’s favorite fruit, the strawberry. As an added bonus we’ve posted a short video on YouTube showing how David “grew” the vegetable icons for Pickin’ Time. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into the artwork behind our software, you’ll want to check it out.

Don’t be caught lollygagging around the farm, head on over and harvest the Pickin’ Time icon set for your Mac, PC or as a handy CandyBar iContainer today. Then visit PickinTimeApp.com to learn all about the game, view screen shots and more. Pickin’ Time is available today from the App Store for $1.99.

UPDATE: The web magazine Playgrounder has featured Pickin’ Time and will be giving away 5 free copies beginning at noon est. Follow @ThePlaygrounder on Twitter to earn a chance to win a free copy of Pickin’ Time for iPhone from the U.S. App Store.

Our annual month long countdown to All Hallows Eve is nearly over and we hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have. We will soon be storing the cobwebs and stylesheets in their bright orange plastic bins for another year but have one last ghastly offering for you. We present a spooky collection of goodies from everyone on the factory floor. Today’s new icon set includes images from classic to gruesome to cute. In addition Louie has created a wallpaper tribute to Disney’s Haunted Mansion for your computer desktop and iPhone/iPod touch. And Kate adds a Quickpix icon as a final sugary topping for our 2009 Halloween celebration.

Before you don your costumes be sure to grab our scary Ramp Champ Add-On packs, Dave’s lycanthropic wallpaper and Mindy’s cute but creepy Skelanimals icons if you haven’t already. Everyone be careful out there and may your Trick or Treat baskets overflow with king-size candy bars!

With Halloween less than two weeks away, Mindy is pleased to present our latest freeware icon release, her second set based on Mitchell Bernal’s popular Skelanimals. This time the cute and creepy collection includes hippos, ponys and penguins, oh my!

Joining volume 2 is our very own favorite animal, Ollie the Twitterrific mascot who’s all dressed up to deliver spooky tweets to your desktop. Don’t be afraid, head on over and download Skelanimals 2 for your Mac, PC or as a CandyBar iContainer today.
