Congratulations to Chuck and Jon on the launch of Cornhole Allstars and the press they are getting around it. The game is a lot of fun and well designed. For you iPhone owners this one is well worth the $.99 at the app store. Here’s the article from the Dispatch – check it out.

OSU Grads Turn Cornhole Into iPhone App

by Erinn Connor

Jon Myers and Chuck Hootman, both Columbus-based Ohio State University graduates, created the iPhone app Cornhole All-Stars. It allows users to play the Ohio-rooted game in four locations with characters who match their territory.

“Its appeal is that it’s a social game,” Hootman said. “And with the game, it can be something you do to pass time or it can be a competitive thing with friends.”

Cornhole All-Stars is the first product out of JUFTi Games, Myers and Hootman’s new iPhone application-development firm. Both still have “day jobs”: Hootman is co-owner of Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails and a bike messenger, and Myers is a founder of DOmedia, a database of alternative media opportunities.

They have the same goal for the games they create: that they are casual and can have multiple players.

The game of cornhole fits both of those to a tee.
