    Thanks Guys, I doubt it will help any sales this far from release but I guess you never know.

    Grubby I believe Uptimistik used AfterEffects for the video.

    A Nice Surprise

    Deflect incoming balls with the use of a small rapid-fire gun or large-ordinance cannon. It sounds simple, but strategic targeting, weapon energy management, and multiple random targets make for some truly exciting "close-call" moments. You needn't destroy your targets, just nudge them out of your planet's path using as little energy as possible.
    This could be a five star game with a few tweaks:
    -More exciting scoring; bonuses for bank shots and combos, and points for successfully diverting obstacles (with more points given for larger targets) would be a huge improvement over the simple timer currently employed
    -Better powerups; weapons, multipliers, etc.
    -More interesting graphics; everything is flat and lifeless, with no special effects or defined style to speak of
    -Additional modes; I'm thinking balls that collide with each other, and artillery (perhaps something with a blast radius) capable of dealing with them
    Technically, the game is mostly there. Hit detection and physics are immaculate, and crashing is a non-issue. The frame rate tends to chug when multiple balls and rapid-fire share the screen, but this may be due to the iAds in this free version. I couldn't view scores on GC from inside the app, but they are being properly posted.
    Overall, this is a great free pickup. If it were to spend a bit more time in the development oven, I'd fully recommend the paid version. Fun stuff.

    Something tels me that Custom Splash Fooled this guy into thinking this was not a GameSalad game. LOL
