Hey everyone... I made this game!

Hey everyone... I made this game!
Hello there... I've been following the AiGD series for a few years now and been programming for like 4 or 5 years. Love the series and this seems like an awesome community for us hobbyist developers. And now that I finally have a game finished (just sent the binary for Apple's review) I'd like to show it off:
Glazeball is a preetty basic marble-rolling game for the iPhone - it's a bit unique though when it comes to the levels and the style; it has tiled, scrolling levels much like SMB or ES. It also uses a 'lobby' as a level select which makes a little 'adventureish', I guess...
The game was programmed in C++ but the code design is a nightmare, OpenGL for the graphics and OpenAL for sound.
Anyway, you can check out the trailer and the gallery here:
http://www.glazeball.com
Also I have a twitter @kelocube
As a next project I have some 3D stuff going on with XNA (includes marching cubes terrain!) that I guess you might want to look into in case I decide upload any videos on that one.

The game looks pretty awesome man, good job :D. To bad i dont have an iphone .
Re: Hey everyone... I made this game!
Thanks guys. And yeah I probably should upload a video using an actual camera of me playing the game so the tilting shows, as the trailer's not much more that tiny bits of gameplay and some random music...

Re: Hey everyone... I made this game!
I was announced the game passed approval last night and it's now on the AppStore!
Glazeball on the AppStore
I had quite a bit of research on how to get the app show up in as many 'new' -lists as possible, and currently it shows up in the new lists of Arcade and Puzzle. (the categories I chose)
Apparently the New & Noteworthy list is updated once a week (somewhere around Tuesday) so having the app released on that day might have been a good idea... Then again, the weekend is by no doubt the best time to sell an app. Also, as I've heard press releases don't get released on on weekends so releasing one on Friday is a good idea.
Now I'll just hope my app actually gets into the New & Noteworthy list... that's up to Apple.
Anyway I hope anyone with an iDevice likes it

Re: Hey everyone... I made this game!
Awesome looking game . I especially like the varied tiles, objects and the audio. Now if only there were an android version...
