   Here I would like to announced that my game "God Plays ball" is powered by cocos2d and chipmunk.
   In this game you can draw to create a rock to hit the ball to scroll the ball ahead. it is just something to kill time.
   The sale of this game is very bad. It adds up totally not more than 40.

   I hope to contribute the whole project to our community after I add some comments on the code, if the code can help some fresh guy to chipmunk in chipmunk-sprite co-operation and so on.
   Sorry for my late announce of this for so many urgent issues bothered me.

   We are working on a "big game" with excellent art design powered by cocos2d, cocosDenshion and chipmunk(for the action of menu).

   A couple of comments. What is the purpose of Earth there? And what are you supposed to do with the balls that you can draw? How does one score and advance in levels?

   A few reasons that the game might not be selling. 1) No lite version for people to try the game, 2) the screenshots don't explain enough about the game to allow people to try it, 3) the description doesn't explain either, 4) the price of $0.99 is a good impulse price for people to buy a game even if they don't know how to play it.

   Since you already have the game, creating a lite version should be less work I imagine, do so and see if that will get you rolling. You might want to add some screenshots that describe what the game is about. The last thing I would suggest is that you brush up the description to be a little more professional and properly describe the gameplay/scoring and so on.

   Regards

   Cypher,
   Thank you for your kindly comments! Even thousands miles far away still I feel immediately so warm when see your post.
   The earth is just the "ball" for God( or player) to play. The story is "God play the earth in the universe". He play the earth not by hand but by "create". He draw to create Rocks to hit the ball (or, the earth), and the ball will roll ahead. Player can get into next level if he can roll the earth all the way(5000) in target time(180s).
   18 promotion codes here for guys who want to have a try. And I have send 2 specially to you in your web "Ashwinbihari.com".
   Your comments are right at the points--how to make customer clearly understand the game and attract them at a glance is the way to sell. In fact, After this game, we analysis and found out that to educate the customer is a weakness of us. The only way for us to win is to plan some easy understanding games, for exameple "zuma style","time management","red alert style","line drawing style" or "shoot". We will try to plan the games that people can understand the game at the first glance.
   Now we are full engaged in a big time management game and have no time to make lite version or to optimize the "God plays ball". and the art design of that game is also something need money and time to improve.
   We will take it when we decide to make this game a mature eye attractive game.

   I played it and I understand how to play after a little trial and error. But it's not that fun. Don't build games that are easy to understand. Build games that are fun to play. People here can help you with descriptions, I will if you need it. At least you learned some things building the game, like drawing with finger and gravity and collisions and forces. You can probably use what you learned in other games. This game is original, but like I said not that fun. Keep making original games, but think about how fun the game will be to play before programming. Good luck.

   Wow, if you'll publish as open source - I will be in your debt.
   It looks kinda cool, I'd love to know how you created matching chipmunk shapes for the drawings...
   Do you create and array of vertexes with each touchesMoved and evetually create a shape when TouchesEnded?
   This is the only thing I have in my mind for shapes.
   Thank you!

   Thanks for the code. I never seem to complete a level. i got to over 50,000 out of 4,000 moving the ball to the right but it never completed. neat idea.
