Ditto this. I love the look of the game, and the feel of it, but the aiming is annoying as heck and doesn't allow for much in the way of strategy. It's all down to timing, and if your timing is off on a single shot, you will be starting the level over again.

Please, either include a mode/option where you can manually aim, or allow the player to take as many shots as necessary to finish the level, and then just deduct points for shots over "par".

Allowing the player some control over the aiming will make the game far more approachable. It will make it more strategic, and less reflex based.

I think both of these games are among the best in the App Store, in terms of graphical quality, innovation and fun factor. My opinion about the rotating aiming device differs from that expressed by a couple others on this forum; I think it adds a degree of challenge that gives the game that gotta-try-one-more-time dimension, without making it frustrating.
