Is it really "Puzzle Bobble" that it's a clone of? I remember this
being an old game with a different name, but I can't remember it right
now :)
Anyway, in the Package description, I'd recommend describing the game
(maybe mentioning that it's somewhat Tetris-like) rather than referring
to Puzzle Bobble.
(hm, is Puzzle Bobble related to Bubble Bobble? .. /me wonders)

I just tried this, and it's an excellent game. I'd be willing to
sponsor it. (I'll be replacing my broken motherboard this evening,
though.
One preliminary bug report: it crashes with a relocation error
whenever I quit. In the case where it's running fullscreen, it also
manages to leave my mouse in an unusable state.
