SensitiveDS is inspired by the C64 game Sensitive, originally written by Oliver Kirwa. In each level you must move the disk over every orange and green tile then get to the exit. If you fall off, you must start over.

Control a red ball to collect blue balls, but don't touch the white ones. The tricky part with the game is, that the red ball will be growing each stage and making your main task more difficult.

The game's name is Deepsea. You control a jellyfish with the stylus and guide the jelly through a randomly-generated world, fighting enemies by colliding with them.
_(nds_game).PNG)
The current area is fairly small (5x5) and will probably be the world size on Easy mode. There'll be enemies and bosses and other gameplay elements added in later.

Quote from hoitjuh55:
Last month I made a new DS program. It's called RouteBoards.
It will show you exit/intersection boards that are on a route you made yourself!
Usage:
1. Make your own boards and routes on your PC (Windows only).
First you have to make boards with RouteBoardsDB and put them in correct order (with a direction) with RouteBoards Editor.
RouteBoards Editor will generate the routes and a file calles Routes.sav (output dir is db/).
2. Upload the boards and routes to your flashcard.
Second you have to upload the boards and routes in a specific directory on your flashcard.
Routes (.rbr) and Routes.sav: FAT:/RouteBoards/route/
Boards (.dbe): FAT:/RouteBoards/db/
3. Open the routes on your DS.
Start RouteBoards on your DS and select a route. Now you can scroll through the boards!
In RouteBoards you can also set the brightness and the background (one for day and one for night).
In the package (.zip) are two example routes.
Suggestions are welcome.

ColumnsDS is a recreation of the Columns game from ages ago. It's still an alpha though, so it's incomplete and there'll probably be bugs. One of which is the game not ending properly once you reach the top.
