Unfortunately, there were no updates for the Mokomaze for a long period of
time. It seems that accelerometer's IDs are swaped in the latest shr-u
kernels, so the game reads data from the first (top) accelerometer which is
turned 45 degrees around the Z axis. I'll try to investigate the problem and
post a patches for Mokomaze's accelerometer poll code.

I have a secret long term plan to add a menu with input device settings to
Mokomaze. It will appear on the first game load to assist a user to
correctly select and calibrate accelerometer/joystick. So, it will give a
possibility to run a game on any suitable device (e.g. TouchBook/SmartBook,
Caanoo, ...) without code modifications.

Best regards,
Anton
