Hey everyone,
Check out our new game. Currently it is only the mechanics and graphics, but it should give you an idea of where we're going. Though it resembles gameplay of Angry Birds, we wanted to have the same sort of mechanics, yet have a different theme. The current theme we're toying with is "Revenge of the Grenades".
We're really keen to get any advice or criticism, and also, theme ideas if anyone has any they would like to share... Have a look at the video to see where we're at with it.

Good luck It could be good if you get the art and theme right.

if not for very little money.
Maybe you can find one on the "Jobs" Section,
Or you could also buy art from the market place.
The game seems to have very tight controls right now though,
so that's nice ^_^
Also, I would do my best to really flesh out the difference between
this, and Angry Birds.
Maybe once you have your theme going, you can have unique
powers or obstacles.
For example, if you are in a haunted castle, maybe you could
have bats flying around in random directions that could throw
off your explosive character. Or ghosts that will try to catch it and
change its course.
It is really important that you make this as different from Angry Birds
as possible. A fellow developer got his app "Bouncing Birds" rejected
recently just because his main character resembled the birds from
Angry Birds. The game play was very different otherwise.
Here is the link in case you haven't seen it:

Anyways, good luck! I look forward to seeing how you
can make this a unique experience!

I completely understand where your coming from. Once I nail down a theme, the rest should come. Just taking my time with each component. Thanks for your comments and advice! I shall check out the "Jobs" section...
