Undoubtly(??). :)
Mine should be obvious, they are clearly "seperated" from the background (which is gray). Maybe I release some screens someday soon, at least in X-Mas break. :)

Quick tip for points: make them something that really doesn't fit with the rest of the scenery. Food is a good choice in spaceship or fairly sterile environments; if you're in the middle of a forest, try something dark and high-tech (cell phone?). If you can then integrate the points into the environment (as with Keen 3), consider yourself done. Otherwise, keep on fiddling. High contrast is good (white on a black background and vice/versa). Use a color different from the most common colors. (Red ground: green points, etc.).

And then fill levels with 100-points and leave out 5000-points.
