I never got to more than about 1000 points.. I have no idea how you got that high score, Karel!
In fact I don't like the game because there's a hidden timer that will just suddenly cry 'you lose' after some undefined short time, with no indicator of anything running (unlike, say, tetris, where bricks are moving). I would have thought that the proper way to lose was to end up in a pattern where you can't go on.

This is indicated by a "power" bar (um, called, "powerbar") on the left of the screen that gets smaller and smaller as you play... The more jewels you make disappear, the higher the bar will remain.

lol, I never noticed that one! Still, I can't get to more than a few hundred points before either it runs out or I'm stuck.

Back to the original question...Where is the install located??

When I try to install it to my NEW N800 it can't find the file?

I think it's in the same repository as xMoto, but I can't quite remember -- the particular repo gave installs to a bunch of games.

Try this... Install from here:

http://downloads.maemo.org/product/xmoto

...and see if it gives you the correct repo (although, I never could get xMoto to work!).

I'll try to remember if this is what I did or not.

I get the homepage from download.maemo, it wants to add a new repository.

I allow that, it then gives an "unable to find application" error.

You need a bit of luck with good combinations at the start of the game. Being quick at pattern recognition also helps.

As to the serious question: I had almost forgotten the game exists! My final high score was in the region of 35,000 points; after that I just gradually stopped playing.

THANK YOU!! I've tried many ways to get that on my N800.

I prefer "Bubblets" or "Bubbles" but this is still a good time waster!
