Proper label naming for my game

[arj0n]

Hello there,

I have a question concerning my game Blockz, which I slowly picked up working on again.

This is a screeny:


You can play a level and earn a trophy.
You can replay a level in order to try to get a better trophy unless you finished it already with the best score possible
Each move will be shown with a number that counts up per move. (Only real moves will be counted, so when clicking a block that can't move: it will not be counted as a move)

The number of moves you take will be shown in the 1st line
If you have beaten a level you get a trophy. Which one (eg. gold, silver, bronze) depends on how much moves it took you to solve it. This trophy will be shown in the 3th line.
If you are replaying a level in order to beat the trophy (and therefor score) you got for that specific level, the trophy you already have earned for this level will be shown in the 2nd line.

The 3 lines (in a gui):
Number of moves: <nummer of moves>
Previous earned trophy: <name of trophy>
Current earned trophy: <name of trophy>

Since English is not my native language I would like to know this:
What would be really well fitting names for the 3 labels ("Number of moves:",  "Previous earned trophy:" & "Current earned trophy")?
I'm not really satisfied with how I have named them now...

Thanx.

I'd just name it MOVES and TROPHY. And Trophy shows your current trophy from previous plays (or empty for the first time). Otherwise current trophy would always show gold until you made too many moves that degrade your rank to silver and so on.

Thanx.

About the trophies:

current trophy: during the game you start with the highest possible trophy and due to how many moves it will degrade to a lower trophy. Because of this way, your variant can't be done. Therefor you should start with the lowest trophy and upgrade it while playing. Only then your variant will be doable...
So, when replaying: the new trophy will only be saved when it's better then the last try.
previous trophy: this one has already been earned and is only shown to show you if you are doing better or equal or worse then last time you played the level (during game play).



So in my opinion both are necessary to show...

Looks cool Arj0n,

Here's a few ideas:

1st line......Moves or Total moves
2nd line.....Current trophy, best trohpy or Highest earned trophy
3rd line......

I'm assuming that when you play the game the 3rd line will be empty...meaning you have not earned a trophy yet due to the fact that your playing for it...therefore I'm not sure you need to name it ?.  You would just show what trophy was earned after the game ends.

Otherwise maybe you can have it say...You have earned the (GOLD) trophy when the game ends.

When you play a level for the first time the 3th line will indeed be empty cause you have not earned a trophy yet.
Once you got a trophy you might want to beat it trying to get a better trophy. After all, the trophy screen looks better when all filled with the highest trophies you can get  
(A trophy screen will show the status (with small images) for, as it is now, 15 levels.)

Here's a new screeny, now with moves and trophy status...:
