You will be clicking that button for a day or two I would imagine.
I must be dreaming (wake up me wake up) How could this have happened. Tireas' cry when he found his computer fallen over in his chair with it's screen shattered.

I accidentally used a private API without knowing. Just re-submitted the fixed version to the app store.

Get to wait another week.

Wow, seriously? What private API?

It was an API to add a certain amount of time to a date. Single line of code that's used to create Matrix Mode and slow down time.

dude, what did you do? the screen shots suck, come on, the title screen?  difficulties? scoreboard? you need to show some action, gameplay, special weapons. the only screen of gameplay you have has no balloons, the person isnt gonna know what theyre looking at

Thanks for the suggestion, once I get my computer all smoothed out I'll add more action shots.

Please post anymore critiques! Once I get it to an acceptable state I'll charge 99c.

Ok:
It looks ugly. The font is bad, and the general layout doesn't look good.
The controls are finicky, I don't like them, the joystick is too close to the center of the screen, and the method of firing is very very annoying.
The instructions are not complete, if I did not know how you were supposed to play the game, I would be annoyed and probably exit and delete.
The high-scores screen should have a link to it on the main screen.
There is no apparent method of exiting the high-scores screen.

Awesome, great suggestions though that font and interface is the best I've come up with. I'd love to change the shooting and moving method but I haven't come up with something better either.

That's the dumbest sh¡t I've ever seen. Why is an API to add an amount of time to a date, a private API????
