Thanks for all the great feedback. This is a side project that I had been sitting on at 90% completion for months and finally got it out. As a side note: I need to remember to not publicize newly launched apps until they have been indexed by the app store. It might not show up in the app store search until tomorrow.
I would refer to this as a "parody" of angry birds.
I agree but I have seen cases where companies have tried to suppress a parody. I think we are going to see Rovio is made of.

I sent the link to my ipad and opened it from there, and whala it shows up.

A parody is constitutionally protected free speech. Yes, they can sue regardless, but I think your leverage is higher in that scenario. I am not a lawyer. I hope the creator has spoken with one in case.
The idea sounds great! I don't have an iDevice to test it, but hell with testing, I believe my fellow HNers, and I want to wish you good luck from Turkmenistan!

Yup cocos2d, with a pretty thick custom level editor built on top.
is the level editor your own or another product?
I will open source it eventually.

did you make the artwork yourself?
Everything was done by yours truly in Fireworks. I wrote a custom extension that I use to create both the artwork and the levels inside of Fireworks.
