@Scouser Yes. Thank you. I'm aware of it. I didn't get a solution in before release. I will most likely add a clear screen bonus then drop the jewels down. This and a few other minor things will be in the next update.

I purchased Jewel Bust a few days ago. I really like what you've got there! The slingshot mechanic feels good, and the sound effects and graphics look great.
If you don't mind, I've got a bit of constructive criticism:
- The timer, scores and other and # of jewels are all displayed on the bottom of the screen. These are all important things the player must be aware of, but I found that my thumb was often covering up the information. You may want to consider moving all of it to the top of the screen.
- There seems to be no strategic way to access jewels beyond the front row without some luck. Also, once destroying a jewel, the pebble bounces back. I thought it would be cool for the pebble to pass through jewels that it destroys in order to open up the level. Also, I think it would be fun if the jewels were shaped in such a way that I could strategize how I could ricochet the pebble I launch from jewel to jewel. The tilted diamond is a small and complex shape, and it's hard to tell were the pebble will bounce after impact. Maybe I'm just being too picky at this point.
-Often I am left with pebbles that do not match anything on the board. Is there some way to give me control over what colour I shoot? Perhaps coloured tiles along the wall that change the pebble's colour? I think this might need a solution, as I found it frustrating to sit an launch pebbles at nothing.
All in all though, I'm glad I bought your game! I think it's a really cool concept, and again, it feels, sounds, and looks great!

amazon is not giving away ur app for free or reduce price without ur permission luckily i am not contacted by them any time for this but it is the what i have read few months ago
@mikehart
i had submitted my few apps to amazon same as i had submitted to android market except some changes like no link of android market etc they have accepted all one or two times they have send email that my app is not working in kindle and told me to solve that issue although i have still not solved that issue and it is still live on the amazon.

the issue was related with kindle soft keys and hibernation also that app was not made with gideros i had told over here just because it was related with amazon else i had my one app made with gideros also on the amazon no issue so far.
cool i am seeing this first time as a seller i am not the one who decides the price of my own product.
@Scouser I didn't have to pay the $100 for the first year. When I signed up I got the first year free.
I've had a good experience from the Amazon.com App Store. My sales in the store has out performed the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. I haven't had any problems with Amazon playing around with my price either. I think the store is another good place to showcase and sell an app
