Just downloaded it. The graphics are quite lovely! Here are some suggestions for improving it:
1) The dog in the icon does not seem to match the graphical style of the dog in-game. The dog in the icon looks kind of cartoony. The dog in-game looks more realistic (and very cool!).
2) The running animation looks quite nice but the look of the dog when jumping appears off. If you ever see video of a dog (or other four-legged animal) jumping, they do not make a running motion in mid-air. When in mid-air, the dog should fully extend his legs out from his body and then resume running once he lands.
3) When I got the black egg power-up, the dust/smoke particles did not seem to accurately reflect the motion of the dog. The dog is running forward so the particles should be going backwards from the dog to maintain the illusion of motion (even though the dog is not actually moving forward).
4) Sometimes, when the dog lands on the platforms, the platforms shift down. Is that intentional?
5) On the Game Over screen, if the current "TIME" is higher than the previous "BEST TIME", shouldn't the current "TIME" and the "BEST TIME" be the same on the Game Over screen (the current "TIME" is the "BEST TIME")?
6) On my iPhone 3GS, it takes 16 seconds to load the game from the Main Menu. That seems quite long.
7) There are several typos throughout the game. It's minor, but it takes the polish down a notch for some people.
MrAndersen said: Very nice presentation, mate. How have sales been going?
sales are going ok, i did no promotion i want to build a strong game center community before i am change it back to 1.99. until now its about 2000 to 4000 downloads a day
Looks nice, like the noire looks. Just downloaded it and will play later. One thing I don't like: the numbers are ugly. A custom font would so much nicer!

Art style is awesome. I like idea with eggs and don't like that game doesn't run smooth on iPhone 4.
Shadows Peak is an atmospheric psychological horror that explores the dark side of a player.
