Do you guys have this one already:

If not, add it to the list. I'm working on packaging it for Fedora
under the name "m.a.r.s.", and this is one for the too cool to not
package list :)
Some blockers:
We don't have SFML2 yet.
Non-free music.
Hmm, indeed the Muscic is from jamendo, from Obsedian Shell,
a band which I know since it sort of matches with my taste,
so I happen to also know some similar bands which do offer
Free music.
They are slightly less "nervous" in style, but that might
actually improve the game :)

Spanish, less synth then original, more rock

Probably the best of all my suggestions, so I vote for
using music from them (or a mix).

So I suggest simply replacing the music with music from
these bands
One non-free font (Tahoma).
Yep, bad. Can be replaced by Wine Tahoma.
Perhaps more, didn't do an extensive review.
Indeed m.a.r.s is a very promising game, unfortunately development has
stalled last year and it is uncertain when it will resume again. Not
having SFML2 in Debian yet seems like the biggest blocker to me at the
moment.
We only recently got SFML2 into Fedora, we've made SFML-1.6 and SFML-2.0
parallel installable by putting the headers in a separate dir and renaming
the .so symlinks. Since 2.0 comes with pkg-config files, this is transparently
handled for apps which properly use pkg-config (famous last words). We left
1.6 unmodified so that existing packages would not need any adjustments.
I've a patch locally for M.A.R.S. to use pkg-config properly, because ofcourse
it didn't.
Regards,
Hans
