Just played it. Fun game. Here's what it's missing...
First time I loaded it the menu seemed sluggish. When I pressed buttons, the button gave no feedback and I wasn't sure if the click had registered. I understand there's loading time involved, but some feedback would be nice.
During game play when I "Shoot" there is nothing that displays a shooting event. Balls just explode if my cross-hares are on it. That seems odd. Again, a feedback issue.
Also the menu buttons seem smaller than needed and there are too many options. If you could make it simpler that might be better.
Overall the game play is smooth and the gyro controls are cool. I think this would make a really engaging first person shooter. Maybe shooting something other than balls for points would be more fun.
The menu buttons do have an invert effect when you tap them, but it might be too subtle. There's also audio feedback when you tap a button, but that doesn't help if you have your sound off.
Right. Most buttons I did notice feedback. It was mostly when I first entered the app. Didn't see feedback on the button in the splash screen or the screen immediately after (if I recall correctly). And yes, I had sound off.
Also, when posting to HN. It would probably be best to organize an up vote campaign. I'm not saying game HN to get on the front page, but getting some initial up votes and comments will help you to get others interested in a headline they might otherwise ignore in the "new" section.
