    LOVE the art style!

    3 things:

    1) A lot of people impulse buy off the screenshots, so make sure your screenshots on the App Store show off your awesome art like the shots you posted in this thread do.

    2) I think it's good you went with something simple for your first game. Just get the experience of getting something out there down, don't expect to retire and make millions off it, just look at it as a stepping stone to learning the device and the general development process of creating/marketing a game. You can do a bigger game down the road.

    3) If your gameplay is simple, don't make your official trailer very long...shoot for like 30 seconds. I've seen a lot of games with a really simple concept that have like 3 minute long trailers, but you're just watching the same gameplay non-stop for 3 minutes so by the end of it it's like "well I've seen everything the game has to offer, it looks cool but why would I buy it now?"

    Good luck! Looking forward to whatever your next game is :D
