I like it that way. Get more on the screen. Icons look pretty but are rather pointless with this layout.

Nah I find I can get to everything quicker. The way the menu on the right pops out the names of the apps when you touch it has to be seen to be appreciated.

The button can do anything. I have it set to open my actual phone, i.e. to make a call.

Don’t think you can beat oceanographer Debbie Gibson in Megashark v Giant Octopus.

We don’t deserve nice things.

I remember playing something similar back in the day, the difference was that the pawn side got to move twice each turn.
