and btw, it ended on level 4 and not 3 o_O
Ok thanks for the info !

1. The reason for the text being so big is because I am using your phones "system font". This is the problem with cell phones, there is no standard. On some phones it may fit, on others it won't. I am thinking about converting all the system font stuff into bitmapped font and scale it to the screen at startup.

2. I see, so it wasn't just my phone. Well I got to figure out what is causing the crash.

3. Will probably do what most games do, ask if you would like sounds on at startup.

4. What do you mean by difficulty unbalanced? I understand the beginning is slow, so I will increase the starting speed of the level.

5. Technically the number of indestructible blocks "SHOULD" increase. I'll think of something to add to spice up the levels.

6. lol error on my part since the first level is level 0, and I set the cap at 3, so 4 levels in total: 0, 1, 2, 3.

Questions though: Was the game field displaying as it should? Was it a rectangle, and was width/height ratio the same as the one in the screen shot? I have noticed on some phones the game field get squished to like 5 blocks vertically. Also, was the score and lives labels overlapping the game field?
