Excellent work Ben.  Is it the same rules as Bejeweled (flash game)?  I
havn't played that in a while but your game did remind me of it, just as
brilliantly addictive.  I love the cartoon sound effects on the title screen
and the cool blurring.

Just a few (hopefully constructive) critiscisms:

-The fruit look better than the veg, maybe the tomato is a bit large?  Maybe
this is just me tho.
-Why not make the item type (fruit/veg) random, then switch it when you use
the joker?
-Is it possible to be locked on a screen with no moves? I think I was but I
could have just been a bit blind.
-Can you have a highscore on the titlesceen, or display it when the game is
over?  I wanted to post my best score but once my game was over it seemed to
be lost.

Give yourself a hearty pat on the back tho, fantastic work once again.
