Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know that I've released my first game into the app store. So here are the details:
It is called 'Elemental Defense' and is a castle defense game, where you must use every element at your disposal to stop an oncoming wave of enemies.
You can use the basic elements provided, or combine them together in a range of different ways to create more powerful and deadly attacks.
Features:
-A single level with unlimited rounds, so see how far you can get.
-5 different elements to use or combine.
-4 different super attacks.
-5 different types of enemies, including fire, water, earth and air.
-Unlimited upgrades can be bought for each element.
-Online leaderboards using Open Feint.
-Local scoreboard for offline viewing.
-Achievements, both online and offline.
-Use super attacks to change the state of the ground, for example creating a flood, bringing new enemies with new strengths and weaknesses.
You will need to master the elements, and learn the strengths and weaknesses of each enemy if you have any hope of surviving the countless waves.

I hope you enjoy it if you try it out! I've already had two 5 star reviews (much to my own surprise!) in the US store, and even had an email from someone to tell me that he finds the game enjoyable.
Also there is also a thread over at touch arcade here:

What I want to do with the game is to add several new special abilities, which can be selected from a menu within the game, and I want those abilities to be ones that users such as yourself have suggested, so feel free to give any ideas you might have for future spells or improvements!
I found cocos2D to be very helpful for creating the game, and just so you know, I have included the cocos2D logo in the credits screen! So thanks for doing an amazing job with Cocos2D Riq!! It has to be one of the easiest ways to create a game, I would have certainly struggled without it! lol
Here are some screenshots for you:
I'm hoping you'll find it interesting and different as it uses a unique elemental combination system to attack the enemies, rather than the standard flicking the enemies of the screen. So here you actually have to think about what spell to use for each enemy, and then aim where you want it to go. It actually gets quite hard on the later levels, so I'll be interested to see if anyone can get to a high level!
