Hi guys!
First of all I wanted to say thanks to @riq (a very big thanks at that!) and all the contributors to the cocos2d project. I also wanted to say a big thank you to Ray Wenderlich for his great tutorials, they are what introduced me to cocos2d. I started off with iOS making a couple of simple UIKit games (one is a simple soundboard and one is an accelerometer controlled maze) and after having read through a few of his tutorials, started working on my own game. I have now just finished making this game in cocos2d. I have spent roughly 3 or 4 months on it (learning as I go), mostly every night after work! (I work in IT and virtualization specifically, not as a developer! :D) However, I am qualified as a graphic designer. Odd story, but there it is, and that is how I arrived at this game :)
So, the game. I will give a brief description here and post some screenshots for now - it is still waiting to be reviewed by Apple. I will hopefully be working on a gameplay video one of these this week. As mentioned above, I did all the programming myself, as well as most of the graphics (Backdrops, asteroids, doodads etc...) The player and enemy ships along with the crystal powerups were done by the talented "Danc" from http://www.lostgarden.com. Kudos to him for allowing me to use these graphics for my game! I also adapted some of his graphics to create some custom boss characters - so some of the bosses featured in the game are made up of pieces of other enemy ships he did.
