compressed game folder is pretty much standard for freeware games, personally i
hate installers, it's much easier just to extract game where you want and just
delete it when you don't need anymore. i know that many people who play this
kind of games share this opinion.
please notice that few things were already done in 7.4.0 to made setting up
nullpomino easier. actually i think getting started with nullpomino is very
easy now (and it was never hard in first place).
however if somebody want to maintain any platform specific packages, I'm not
against it. i know that 3rd party arch linux package already exist :

"...and it was never hard in first place."
Are you on drugs?
It's still far too difficult for the general user to install and run the game
on platforms other than Windows. It is just marginally better otherwise.

How it's too hard on Windows?
I download nullpomino release, unzip it, run Nullpomino.exe and play? What is
hard here?
I know things could be way better on Mac OS X, but I don't have Mac, so can't
really help here.
For linux providing native installation experience is very difficult, because
of number of different package formats that need to be provided for different
distributions.

I am glad progress was made on this before I even created this issue. The
current Nullpomino release, 7.4.0, has a windows exe. This probably makes
things much easier for the windows folks out there.
Another issue had been the lack of defaults for game settings. This has also
been fixed in 7.4.0, a big improvement in my opinion.
On the linux side, providing a compressed game folder should work. However,
there should be a resonable default runable file, like NullpoMino.exe. Maybe a
'NullpoMino.sh' file that is actually chmod +x, so users can run it without too
much trouble. Providing a 'native' install experience for each linux
distrobution is difficult, but a compressed game folder targetted to linux
would help. I will look into this a bit and present some ideas at a later time.
Mac OS.... I dont have any experience or access to help improve or test the
install experience. We may be able to find someone who could help us.
Thank you for the progress so far.

i just uploaded this:
http://code.google.com/p/nullpomino/downloads/detail?name=NullpoMino7_4_0_linux.
tar.gz
it's just default package but with windows launchers removed, additional
NullpoMino script which starts slick version (it's recommended version for
Linux?) compressed in tar.gz format
and also uploaded this:
http://code.google.com/p/nullpomino/downloads/detail?name=NullpoMino7_4_0_window
s.zip
it's just default package but with linux scripts removed, just to clean clutter
in Nullpomino root directory
I left lib forder untouched just for simlicity, removing unrevelant native
libraries don't significantly reduce size.
I can't do anything for Mac OS X, sorry.
