Launching tonight at midnight PDT: A 3D remake of Lunatic Fringe for iPhone/iPad/macOS

I'm a tech lawyer and ex-founder. I can read code, but beyond HTML and CSS I can't write it. Since my first vibe-coded app in July 2025, I've shipped 15 apps and websites.

The latest two are games for iPhone, iPad and Mac: Lunatic Fling, a 3D tribute to Lunatic Fringe; and Paperwing, a paper-airplane game inspired by Glider, co-developed with our 5-year-old (turns out he's an amazing PM). Both went from prototype to App Store approval in under a week. A third (much bigger) project is currently in the works.

🚀 Anyone remember Lunatic Fringe? Here's Lunatic Fling, for iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

Lunatic Fringe was that awesome little space combat game inside the After Dark screensaver in the 90s. And now, I've reimagined it for iPhone, iPad and Mac with new gameplay mechanics and challenges. A quick weekend project, I built it, submitted it, and had it approved on the App Store in < 72 hours.

Meet Lunatic Fling, complete with Newtonian flight physics, a relativistic speed limit, and a ship that falls apart one piece at a time... or gets spaghettified by a black hole, because of course. This time however you also have an escape pod.

Lunatic Fling - Lunatic Fringe-inspired space combat with a daily challenge

Lunatic Fling is Newtonian space combat for iPhone, iPad and Mac. No friction, a relativistic speed limit, a ship that falls apart one part at a time, black holes to slingshot around, and a new sector every day that the whole world flies. Free to play. No ads, no tracking.
