I think so, yes. "Games" for people has just no meaning since it looks
like a categorizing part. And "FrozenBubble" is exactly the same name
except the - separator in the middle of the original name. That said,
I cannot suggest a very good name change and it also would imply some
graphics changes. So I'd favor a bold explanation on your releases.

Great. Can you already add a bold statement in current release stating
it's not (yet) an official upgrade to original Frozen-Bubble game?

Thanks - but it would not be fair to your work to take a lot of time,
so I'll try to act this week already.

Ok.
