BreakTheBlocks Lite Updated

Hello all,

I released an update for BreakTheBlocks Lite this past weekend.  The main update was switching advertising providers from Admob to the beta for Google Adsense for Mobile Applications.

I have received some feedback regarding “lag” in this game.  The main thing that can be done to prevent this lag is kill unneeded tasks with a task manager like Advanced Task Manager or Taskiller.  Applciaitons that run in the background are still doing work, and creating new Java objects, so the Java Garbage Collector has to perform its duties more often.  When the garbage collector runs it essentially blocks anything that my games can do, so there is a lag while my games wait to be able to run again.  I am currently reviewing some enhancements to further help this problem from appearing so often, but the best thing to do for now is to kill unneeded tasks.
