I sent Photics: Fireball off for review. Heh... I hate waiting. So, I updated my blog with a screenshot.

With GameSalad's physics, particle effects and positional sound, I was able to create an impressive fireball. I think it's fun to watch the fireball bounce and fly around the screen. I was also able to add some 3D effects. The particles change size based on vertical position. This adds some perspective, as if you're shooting up into the distance. The python is 3D animated too.
Also, the positional sound effect (with velocity) worked out great! You can hear the fireball sizzle as it swooshes across the screen. It's great with the headphones on.
Oh yeah, unlike a typical pinball game, the main target can shoot back.
I really like this game and I'm impressed with GameSalad.

It was originally rejected because I called it "Photics: Fireball (iPad)" instead of (HD).
I heard my email alert go off, but I didn't check it right away. I was busy fixing Photics: Revisions - Course Correction. I switched back over to my PC, so I could fix a sound file, and that's when I read the email. I logged into iTunes Connect to be sure... yup... there's a green indicator next to my App listing.
Heh... and I left in the secret developer cheat... not sure if it's even possible to activate it, but the code might still be there.
Apple must really be focusing on iPad apps, because the iPhone/iPod Touch version of Photics: Fireball was submitted before the iPad version. The iPhone/iPod Touch version has not yet been approved.
Here's the German translation for the iPhone/iPod Touch listing...
========================
Hoch auf der Spitze eines Berges ganz vergessen zog ein dunkler Zauberer sein Schloß zurück. Sein unheimlicher Feind versucht, seine Kraft zurück zu gewinnen, und dann wieder zu seiner Schreckensherrschaft zu gehen. Das ist seine einzige Chance das Ende der Tyrannei zu setzen. Die Verteidigung der dunklen Hochburg vom Zauberer mißlingt und sie steht im Flammen.
Photics: Fireball ist ein Flipper-Spiel für das iPhone OS konzipiert. Die Grafik und der Ton sind zusammen verbunden, um die Empfindung von Feuer im Spiel schaffen zu helfen. Das Spiel hat positionelle Ton-und Spureffekte. Die Spielbilder selbst machen das Spiel nicht so gut wie das Spielen selbst. Dieses Spiel wurde gedacht, um es in Bewegung zu sehen und mit Kopfhörer zu spielen ... Aber auch kann es gesagt werden, denn die Spielbilder zeigen und dokumentieren die Sorgfalt und die Schaffung eines unterhaltsamen Spiel.
Gebrauchsanweisung: Tippen und halten Sie den unteren Teil des Bildschirms, um einen Feuerball zu schaffen. Tippen Sie auf die linke Seite des Bildschirms den Schläger zu bewegen. Tippen Sie auf die rechte Seite des Bildschirms den rechten Flipper zu bewegen. Schlagen Sie die Burg, um die Punkte zu bekommen. Achten Sie auf den dunklen Zauberer, der wieder kämpfen kann. Wenn der Feuerball verloren geht, sind auch die Punkte vom Spielergebnis abgezogen.

I'm holding off on adding the German text to my iPad listing. It's all set for Saturday, so I don't think it I should be messing with it.
Also, my App was mentioned here...
