infected: depends on how much more interest is expressed in complicating the game with special cases like that. I like the basic game for its simplicity so it's not a feature that interests me. I've added it to the possible todos in the second post; let's see how popular the idea is.

I don't think "No moves left" would fit. The triple "!" is actually a single glyph.
I think it gets the point across when all the gwels fall off the screen...
Thanks for clarifying about the bonus. I don't really get time to play gweled enough to catch these things.

Thanks for the update!
The fonts are still difficult to read for me, not (any longer) due to the size, but because of the colour/shading. The biggest problem now though is the visual effect of the points, floating upwards all the time.. they disturb me very much, to the point of making the game more and more unplayable. Is there a way to turn it off?

TA-t3: I haven't changed anything about the points except the font size. Is it the bigger font that makes it disturbing?

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Perhaps the bar should be extended all the way across and either the x2 text placed in the bar or maybe placed in the space on the left between "Score" and the word "Restart" - the 3rd image?

Ah, got it. I'm going to add in the small font size again and use it for the multiplier and score, and just use the medium font for messages.
Would you prefer the multiplier go under the score in bigger font or is it fine in the original place and size?

So perhaps i'll look into moving it for the next iteration. For now i just want to get it unbroken so the fix to the end of game timing is in Extras...

Sorry about the bugs. I would have caught that last one if i had play tested at all.
I did 1 minute play testing for this version, 
and it seems everything fits where it should, so unless something else comes up, i'm done with this iteration of Gweled and on to SDLMAME next time i make time for games development.

If people will create some new alternatives, i'll hold a "choose a font" poll like i did for the icon, and use the winner as the new alternative. Of course, any user can customize their own version by simply changing that file on their N900.
The biggest problem now though is the visual effect of the points, floating upwards all the time.. they disturb me very much, to the point of making the game more and more unplayable. Is there a way to turn it off?
