   Hi all,

   I wanted to let everyone know that my first iPhone/iPod Touch game, Armor Raiders, was just released to the iTunes App Store. It's powered by cocos2d-iphone and is inspired by the classic games Rescue Raiders and Armor Alley with many new twists thrown in.

   Features include:

   - Control a chopper with machine guns, bombs and heat-seeking missiles
   - 6 unique ground units: tanks, anti-aircraft vehicles, EMP trucks, soldiers, engineers and munitions experts
   - 6 missions to complete
   - Weapon upgrades as game progresses
   - Beautiful graphics and music

   The product page with teaser video is here:

   Thanks for reading and I look forward to people's feedback!

   Some initial impressions:

   - Bullets are hard to see
   - Helicopter needs better animation; feels kind of stiff right now
   - It also looks like you have specific frames of animation instead of rotating the sprite, which would look better IMO
   - Particles effects are parented to things and move with the objects some times, looks really bad
   - Should use world space for particles as well
   - 3 helicopters and you die?
   - Turning around has a little too much drag for my tastes; I often got stuck facing the wrong way in a fire fight
