Was really hoping to see someone else using cocos2d :)
Basically the game is too hard for me. I've played for about two minutes and succeeded hitting those headless men only twice. Maybe making it a bit slower should be a good move.

Out of all the platforms you could pick to screw your chances up of anyone actually being able to PLAY your game, this'd have to take the cake.

Someone managed to make an Atari 2600 game. As it turns out, there are quite a few emulators for that, so just about anyone can actually play it despite not having the real hardware.

Android might be a better bet. At least they have an emulator for not-Mac.

All I can do is ponder how great this game would be if it were possible for me to play it. Because quite frankly, it's not.

This works fine if you have XCode installed. At least for me it opened right up in the iPhone simulator.

It looked pretty cool and has some good points. I like the graphics and the theme was on point. The problem is that it gets repetitive quickly and seems to have no goal. Overall good job.
