I know how you feel, my last game also didn't sell to well. I get emails from people who have bought it asking me if Im updating it because they love it etc, so I know its not a bad game. The app store can be cruel!
its a learning curve I guess... each game you make you learn so much...not just in using GameSalad itself but also in graphic design, game design, marketing etc etc...
Game looks good, great name too.
I imagine you'd get quite bit of interest as the icon is ok and the name is good. So once they've clicked to look at your game you can seal the deal with some good screen shots. One easy to do suggestion that might help increase sales would be to lose 2 of your in game images, as you've got 3 that look very similar (the ones with the general in). It gives the impression that there is not much else to see in the game. Maybe some more in game tank stills, if they look different, different environements etc. Perhaps a montage of the in game shots, with some exciting text on top, done nicely ....e.g. 'REAL TIME BATTLES', 'COME GET SOME!!!', 'AAAAGGHHHH!!!!'
