In the last couple of days I have noticed that when I open the game that I had left on (Palm turned off itself), I get little villagers that "shadow" themselves--up to 7-8 shadows. If I go to main menu on Palm, them open VS, I don't seem to have this problem. I am using a T3--real time 659008, 28 villagers, 7 puzzles solved.

me too

That's a known bug that is being worked on by the development team. Leaving the game and launching it again will clear it up. It usually occurs at some point after a villager has died and is buried.
