After talking to Mandy in person, I learned she meant that I should change the sprite to say “GOAL” instead of changing the name of my game. Now that I understand what she meant, I agree. The usage of the definite article is pointless. I could see it working if EVERYTHING was labeled the same way, but with this game, it looks weird, in a bad way.

Well, I haven’t finalized the name yet, but my thinking is that Minimalist wasn’t descriptive enough, and Walls pretty much tells you what is in the game. I’m not entirely convinced with Goal, since it is very abstract. Lots of games have Goals. When people talk about this game, will it be more likely that they’ll call it “The Walls game” or “The Goal game”? Again, I haven’t picked a final name for it, but I’m still open to suggestions and convincing. B-)

You should really change the name to just “GOAL” Less is more. Plus it will look better graphically.
