It's interesting that most people miss it. I'll have to make it more prominent in the update. Thanks for the feedback!

Doodle Blast! broke 75! I'm super grateful for all your positive reviews and feedback that helped push it that far. The Cocos2D community ROCKS!
Next target - top 50. I need some help figuring out how to get there. Do you guys have any good experiences with advertising, promotion, or other ways of generating interest? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thank you for the review, itlgames! What's your game?
Doodle Blast! is my 7th game and it started life more as a dare than seriously structured effort. The other games have died pretty shortly after being published so it's not like I know some magical formula. I just got lucky this time. It almost seems that the more I try, the more likely I am to fail.
However, I think I might agree with you. Simpler can be better, at least to test out the waters before you invest serious time and effort into it.

I did "Alone", the isometric platformer game, you did try it: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/4634

Yeah, I also grew playing with my ZX Spectrum back in the 80's, but the problem is, there may not be too much people, so I know the estimated reach of Alone is very limited.
But still, I just loved this kind of games and always wanted to do something similar.
I will be releasing other games using the same isometric engine, and zelda-like adventure and probably a shooter multiuser or something similar.For your game, have you considered autosave status? so if you close the app next time you can resume in same place. I think it's something very good to have in a mobile game.

On applicationWillTerminate event on your main delegate class, you could call a method to go through the list of objects in scene and save position. That is what I do on my game, I use SQLite to save all data, but you could even use the NSUserDefaults and save an array of objects.

On Friday I've submitted Doodle Blast! HD to the app store. I've added zoom, new enemies, a new doodles, and lots and lots of pixels. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from Apple. Of course, writing code for the iPad right now is like coding blindfolded, so I'm not holding my breath. However, if the game runs as expected, it will be a whole new experience! In fact, going back to the iPhone afterwards, I was experiencing some serious withdrawal symptoms - where did all my pixels go???
Anyway, here is an oversized teaser:

looking good! fingers crossed on getting approval. In still waiting for the pig update to go through, guess I'm stuck behind the iPad queue (mumble grumble).
Btw: nice idea running snow leopard from an external drive, wish I'd thought of it, I may have got STAPig HD out in time. Doh!

Thanks @eJayStudios! I was a little in the dark for the past couple of days, but I'm slowly re-emerging and will be posting more stuff soon. As always, any feedback, questions, or requests are always appreciated.
