A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
After a lengthy approval process, Bullet Frenzy Lite is out:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321595719&mt=8
The game uses Cocos 0.7.3 and our own OpenGL pipeline.
The free version is Ad supported (AdMob) and lacks the multiplayer of the paid version.
The paid version was rejected for an odd reason, but I resubmitted last night.
Thanks.
Congrats TJ!
I'll give it a go and come back to give you some feedback.
Quick question: Did you have any issues with menu touch positioning when adding the ad view to your openGL layer?
Thanks,

"The paid version was rejected for an odd reason" - Are you sure? It shows up for me here:

Im curious what the odd reason was? Naming conflict?

"What do you mean "touch positioning?"
Are you talking about layout? "
what he means is that in his game "Meteor Mission III" when the ads are shown touch events are displaced by the height of the ad. So if you want to tap a button and there is also an ad on the screen - to hit the button you have to touch a little below the button for it to register.
@codemattic - to clarify, the update to Bullet Frenzy was rejected.
So BFL is on a new codebase than the BF that's in the store.
Also, I create a UIView that is only the size of the Ad, so I saw no interference with touches:
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 432, 320, 48);
self.smallView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:bounds];
@johnathan - riq had the same issue. It's actually a bug I thought I had fixed.
It appears that if the AdView requests an ad from the network and you start a new game quickly, the AdView is cleaned up and the it's delegate attempts to update a nil object.
I thought I had fixed it. Looks like I didn't.
The hexs are raw OpenGL rendering on a separate layer.
Just got back taking the kids to see Ice Age -- good movie

Precisely..Couldn't have said it better than Codemattic.
I'm not quite sure what is causing the menu buttons to react in this manner. It appears that when I add the AdMob view to my Game Layer the positioning (when trying to select the menu item) is off about 30 pixels. If I don't include the ad view -- all is well....weird...
Anyway, I just played your game -- Lite version
++ Integration to social networks
+ Very smooth game play (nice FPS)
+ Menu system is intuitive
+ Nice tease for the full product
- too simplistic (needs more meat for me)
- replay value is a bit short
I would place the ad on the main screen as well as where you have it now.
@SpaceHunter - thanks for the feedback, putting another ad on the main scene is a great idea.
It's odd, we don't get any touch offsets.
@riq and @jonathan0382 - I just submitted an update which I hope fixes the crasher.
I had thought previously that I had fixed it. I hope I finally nailed it this time.
Thanks for the feedback.
