Sjaak, does your Banana Royale suffer from this critique?

Nope, it throws in 3 cpu players instead of one and they are pretty hard to beat. Try it for yourself, there is a download link a couple of posts up.

Yeah, one of them is a little bastard. Two of them aren't so bad but that one is a damn menance

Reworking the whole sprite thing. I'm going to split up all the images and use TexturePacker to construct the spritesheet, which will map the sprite names to coordinates.
This will not change a lot for people designing sprites, but it will make adding more sprites and supporting different spritesheets a lot easier (for me).

Sjaak, since you're already familiar with Nuclex: it has a texture packing algorithm in there as well, could save you a few bucks on the Texturepacker.

I made a class that packs the sprites and puts the resulting rectangles into a hashtable with the filename as key. One could put the filenames into an enum and enum.parse the filenames- so you can use the enum in the rest of your code.
