You don’t need to be in holiday stress mode to realize the zen benefits of playing with Koi Pond on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Tis the Season, however, and the dev team at The Blimp Pilots studio have added a holiday theme for your added enjoyment of one of the best apps I’ve seen to leverage the awesomeness that is Apple’s touch interface and accelerometer.

Koi Pond is an application with a graphically realistic pond filled with Koi fish. You can move your finger around the screen to create ripples in the water that send the fish scurrying for safety off the screen. You can rearrange the lily pads, feed the fish, even get them to come and nibble your finger by leaving it in the water. The app has beautiful 3D sound, too and rates, for my money, among the best bucks I’ve ever spent.

    Is it really a “holiday” application if it features Christmas-specific plants and Christmas tree lights? I know this isn’t Cult of Mac’s issue (because the developer actually calls it such), but if it’s made for Christmas what’s the harm in saying exactly that?

    Is the Christmas theme a season-specific feature? I remember seeing it in December, but can’t summon them right now.

    I totally agree with you, your backyard Koi pond really gives you the better way for enjoyment. And the Koi fishes really attract you. And the backyard pond really gives the sophisticated touch to our backyard and home. It’s really incredible thing to enjoying.
