No Rick, CURRENT users views are not important here, the views of NON users as POTENTIAL users are what counts, you are running a business here.
Ill step in here, just taking a look at the product page and the video. First off, great idea, I am happy to see you branch into 2d, I have been hoping for that for years.
But, what stops this being an INSTANT buy, and why I will NOT be buying it.
output as game to share as stand alone product.
multi levels
game options, ie menu ect like a proper game
the ability to use pixels as well as sketch is a big plus, that way users can create pixelated old school type games, ie like old atari 2600,c64,spectrum etc, see the grid you have to draw a character, have a paint bucket tool to fill in the squares, or a pixel tool to draw the squares, that way one can make pixel art. (an extra feature would be to change the size of the grid, but I would buy without that, but it would be nice to have the changing grid size for pixel art. Same applies to drawing the background, pixel art as well as sketch.
Now the following does not stop me from buying but it would make a difference.
wish list in order
output to a browser format or social network type format (this is almost in the must haves, people don't want to download you game, they want to play it online straight away, this is the 21st century, I would seriously think about this feature if you want to sell this application)
add background art or art objects from external source
co-op gameplay
multiplayer
I will also note that to sell this think of the competition, and who you are selling to, is this for kids, if so why are children here, the site is aimed at games hobbyists, bear in mind the competition, I will give examples.

vastly superior to the product you have right now, and the price, 99 cents at iTunes, version 2 will also allow you to sell your game in the app store as well.
Construct

easy to use, lots of features and its free, oh and it can output as html5, so playable as a stand alone and a browser application.
Now you can get a market for this, TGC always make very accessible product that are simple and quick to use and take the work out of game creation, but at the moment you are not hitting it with this product, I hope you up your game here, and get some features into this, otherwise it will just get ignored, which would be a shame as I really think there is a gap for this type of pickup and play in an instant type game, if you hit this right you could potentially get a big seller here, but at the moment, its not going to work out, I hope you take the advice on board and improve the product , it would be a shame to abandon it to your hedgehog principle
