It looks pretty good. Very professional looking! I'd like to know how you got all those particle effects working so smoothly. My experience with iTGB and particles have been that using them even in moderation drops my framerate ridiculously.

Thanks John.

I gave up on on-the-fly particle effects and used a product called timelinefx - highly recommend it.

I also implemented pools for sprites and animated sprites and optimised as much as I could - still more to do!

Thumbs up for making sense. I never got the space invaders thing; why invade space? Space is big! It's meaningless! Invading various places on Earth, however, makes much more sense.
