Show HN: My First App (Skill Sketch) is in the App Store

#1
After a long fought battle, my friend and I finally have our first app (Skill Sketch) in the app store and we're looking for feedback.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skill-sketch/id498835340?ls=1&mt=8

The app is a simple drawing game that provides you with a series of random lines (0-4) that you then try to turn into art. When you do something that you like, you can save it to your gallery.

Currently we have it listed at 99 cents. Mainly so that we can make back the $99 bucks it cost us to join the Apple Developer Program.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Great idea. This is similar to a game I used to play all the time as a kid. What are you using to generate the random squiggles?

Right now the app has around 150 predefined "scribbles" that are randomly sized and placed around the canvas. I'm working on making them randomly rotated as well.
