BTW This game is proof you can do a good imitation of 3D in corona as is..
Hope Corona becomes a 3D engine in the future :)

This game was not modeled fully after Paper-boy! It just resembles paper-boy!

Looks good!

Off topic: How did you ship and yet still show up as a test driver?

Apple usually takes about a week for a new app. Updates have been going faster.

But depending on when you submitted it, they closed down for a week at Christmas and were not doing any reviews. Of course with that shutdown, there was a huge surge of submissions after iTunesConnect came back on line that they had to work through.
