objectsArrays = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

enemiesLayer1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[objectsArrays addObject:enemiesLayer1];
[enemiesLayer1 release];

enemiesLayer2 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[objectsArrays addObject:enemiesLayer2];
[enemiesLayer2 release];

objectsLayer1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[objectsArrays addObject:objectsLayer1];
[objectsLayer1 release];

objectsLayer2 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[objectsArrays addObject:objectsLayer2];
[objectsLayer2 release];

I would probably make a @property for objectsArrays and do the stuff previously mentioned, but otherwise it's fine.

	for (int n = [currentArray count] - 1; n >= 0; n -= 1) {
		FallingObject *currentObject = [currentArray objectAtIndex:n];
		[currentObject render];
	}
}

Looks fine at quick glance. Nothing jumping out at me. There is a cool NSArray method that might simply that a bit: makeObjectsPerformSelector:
