Is my first iOS game too hard?

Challenging can be good. Look at flappy birds. Such as simple looking game, but so challenging it drew players in just to see if they could beat each other. Now if it is completely impossible that is a different story, but just enough challenge that makes players want to keep trying to beat their previous score or their friend's scores is a good combination. Look at the feedback flappy bird got, same situation where people complained it was too hard.

Kind of wish I had an iphone just so I could play it now :)

One of the goals with my game was to slightly outdo the difficulty of Flappy Bird. Based on feedback, I know I outdid it, the question is by how much. One thing I do know is that the game is not impossible. Game Center leaderboard scores are slowly increasing.

Kind of wish I had an Android version so you could play it now. :)
