Well first off, I think the bar with trash / start / stop etc is ugly. What you need is icons around the edges. Bit like Worms 2 has, see pic below. These should disappear off screen in a sliding motion outwards ( animated smoothly ) when your building options come up and back in to play when the building options close.
Another idea is to use pinch to zoom to open the toolbox and close it. This would mean one less icon needed. So for example you use two fingers pinched inwards to open, and two fingers to close it! You could also have say double tap for start and stop maybe? Of course some of these ideas might not be any good, or require too much programming before release! However it could come in a patch later?
First impressions count, and the UI for me currently is ugly. Functional for sure, but ugly to look at. Trying to be as honest as possible while being respectful, I am not a programmer but hopefully it can give you some ideas!
