I was just playing it for a bit, but just doesn't quite feel responsive enough. Here are some points that I feel are so so...

-The ball that you have to drag every single time is tiny and difficult to get consistantly
-the menu feels slow (too many scene switches)
-the physics just don't real when the ball bounces
-the art is basic (not a bad thing, but it doesn't help improve it too much)

Overall I would give it 3 stars (out of 5) because there isn't anything truly wrong with it, its just ok.

Also, this is just your first app, and I'm sure that the many things you learned making it are much more valuble than the sales that you will get.

Best of luck,
Jack McGraw

The ball that you have to drag every single time is tiny and difficult to get consistantly

This can be fixed by using a "mask" actor underneath your image (ball) actor. Constrain the mask actor's position to the image actor's location. Make your mask actor invisible and quite a bit larger than your image actor. Transfer all of your "When touch is pressed" type rules to the mask actor and delete/turn them off on the ball actor. That way, the player is tapping a larger actor, which makes the game more responsive.
