Please be more descriptive and concrete. Supposedly something like An Icy Tower-like game which can be played downwards might be just OK. The general rule of thumb for writing a package's description is that it should deliver as much as possible information to a *previously uninformed* user. The user which looks for games is not concerned with which software stack was used for development, but should receive a clear hint of what this game is about just from looking at its description in the list their software package manager presents them with. An 2D Icy Tower-like game in which you go down the tower - what about this? Did you ever play Icy Tower? Did you ever have the opportunity to play it downwards? Now you have! The extended description could supposedly be toned down a bit, and then extended. Please understand that you're not a marketologist or advertisement specialist here, and your task is not about raising an excitement of a potential customer by any means. Luckily, we don't sell, we just deliver. ;-) [...] Thanks for the remark :) It's my first package in Debian. In Maemo no one cared much about the description - it was the dev's thing.l What about You jump down the tower and need to reach as deep as possible. But be careful to avoid the spikes! To aid you in your quest you'll be able to gather a couple of power-ups. -- Marcin _ Send and receive anonymous emails to your inbox with InboxAlias. http://www.inboxalias.com

It's simply a nice game :) It's my first package to be maintained, I guess I'll simply contact the original author whenever some bugs arise and push updated versions. I don't expect many issues, though :) Please consider a more informative short description. End users likely do not care much about the language their favourite game is implemented in. So while this information might be interesting to some, it should probably go to the long description, and the short description should hint at what this game is actually about. Maybe mention that is is a modified clone of Icy Tower? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
