[OLPC-Games] FoodForce II Beta Release

[Deepank Gupta]

Amazing. Thanks Rene.

This response has been absolutely phenomenal and totally unexpected :). The
project has seen close to 1500 downloads for the xo package itself within
the last 4 days. If it had not have been for the active interest shown by
the community, it would never have been this good.

Cheers,
Deepank
