   Hi Everyone!

   My first iPhone/iPod touch game (cocos2d-based, of course -- my last app. was also cocos2d-based, but was not really a game) has just been approved by Apple. It's called Revz, and it's an arcade-action/"keep the ball moving" original concept. You "rev" the ball up at game start during a countdown (by wrist-rolling (tilting) the device), and then keep the ball moving by firing the a boost cannon. Boost depletes when firing the cannon, but it can be replenished via item pickups. Local/world leaderboard (cocosLIVE) features as well. Let me know what you think! Also, for any developers interested, Revz uses Chipmunk physics.

   Many thanks to Riq, Steve, Scott, and the cocos2d community.

   Here are five promo codes: MET4XWNEH7AH, TAHXF7HKLEXT, 7RPFNPAEMM3R, JJAH94F9NETL, and EFKX9NXP6L4R

   Weird request, but can someone with a jailbroken iPhone 3GS try my game? I got a report from a user in Sweeden saying it crashes for him on every red orb grab (he did admit his hardware is jailbroken -- it's someone I know from a prior project, so he's trustworthy). The likely suspect here would be the Shaky3D effect on this hardware/configuration, but the thing is, we've four testers with non-jailbroken iPhone 3GS, and they had/have no issues. Also I use Shaky3D elsewhere in my game, and those parts don't crash for him...

   The bug wasn't with Shaky3D. Moved discussion to development sub-forum. Thanks!

   Hey ! neat concept ... a couple things I noticed...

   1. Consistent color scheme. The colors you chose for the game are neat, but then the menu itself feels very wordperfect. Having a little more consistent feel to the menus I think would make the game seem less daunting to understand, as its already a neat concept.

   2. People / Gamers hate to read. While you do a good job explaining, it took me a while to understand. I think you could simplify the instructions into pop-up while you're playing the game , less words- more pictures. It's a hard concept to get, try to REALLY boil it down.

   3. kinda related to number 2, just faster to start the first time you play. app should load, one touch, and im playing.

   4. the red arrow could use some hue difference so you can see it better, i mean- when you're doing that motion its hard to see the iphone from different angles- so making the killer arrow more clear from a different view angle would really help. (might be that the green is so bright it just seems hard to see in comparison

   Anyway thats my 2 and half cents... good job on making a new concept!

   Akuma,

   It took me a few tries to get the hang of it. Once I think I figured it out, I did enjoy trying to beat my last score each time so I could last longer & longer. Its a fun concept and with some tweaks & polish could be great
