Here is the app store description for Watercule:

BRINGIN’ IT BACK
Remember the old ring toss games where you fill the container with water, push the buttons and it sends the balls sloshing up towards the hoops?  Well, Watercule is kinda like that, just an electronic modernized one.

Watercule is an exciting new game that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to get the highest score possible. With an engaging sound track and AWESOME sound effects, you’ll be filled with energy while you play your way to the top.

CONTROLS
The controls are simple, tap the bottom platform repeatedly to send the balls up, up, and away. Gravity natural brings the balls back down and tilting your phone side to side moves the balls accordingly.

THREE GAME MODES (MORE ON THE WAY)
Currently 3 modes with more on the way (in future updates) offer you hours of competitive fun. Watercule allows you to submit your high scores for each mode, online.  This offers you more competition and is a great way to compete with your friends for bragging rights.

TIMED MODE:
The object is to get the highest score possible in the time allotted. Pick up bonus time on the way to keep your game going, but watch out for the bad jellyfish, they’ll diminish your time very quickly.

ATTACKER MODE:
This mode will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. The object? Get the highest score possible while avoiding the falling beetles. The beetles will take away from your starting lives of 3. Not to worry though, bonus treasure chests offer you help along the way with extra lives, fun bonuses you use by shaking the phone, and others.

LEVELIZER MODE:
Deemed the most challenging mode so far, in the levelizer mode, you climb the level ladder and on the way receive level bonuses to shoot your score higher and higher. To move onto the next level, you have to grab the specified amount of bananas for that level, but be careful, you only get a certain amount of bananas per level. Also, you are limited in your lives, so avoid the snakes, and strive to capture treasure maps to keep you in the game.

MORE MODES ON THE WAY
With the ability to release updates for Watercule, we’ll continually amaze you with new game modes and enhancing existing modes. With our high score versioning system, you won’t be out of the loop with an old update, you’ll be competing with all the people that are currently using the version you have.  Also, if you update, you’ll still be able to compete on the old versions. We are simply going to keep the old version’s modes, and add onto those.

Today, Watercule was previewed and featured at appleiphoneapps.com.

After a grueling 3 weeks of development, I finally got Watercule (mini site) submitted to the App Store. You can view the screen shots above or visit the mini site to view some more screenshots and a little video of the game play.

I was able to create this app with the help of cocos2d-iphone.
