Thanks! Yes, I've had several people comment that it's a surprisingly
engaging game despite (or perhaps because of) the simple mechanics.

The music has divided opinions - seems you either like it or hate it!
Still, that's why there's an options screen to turn it off.

Heh. We'll see. Merely porting it to the Mac was tiresome enough, and I
don't own a PDA, so... :-)

Oh, and it uses OpenGL, which is a bit of a downer for handheld devices.
I could rewrite the renderer to use a 2D blitter of course, but it would
be a bit of work.

It would be cool though!

Cheers,
