I have release a demo version of my current Virtual Boy homebrew project BLOX 2, a Sokoban style puzzle game. Since changing to the latest gccVB version about 2 months ago, the game refused to run on hardware and I hadn’t touched it since then. So I think it’s a good idea to share the last build from before the change in form of a demo version. Features of the demo:
- 16 MBit ROM
- 3D Graphics
- Over 1500 Levels in 29 Level Sets by various homebrew level authors
- Undo Functionality
- Includes “Multiblox” levels (two players to solve a level, each controlled by a D-Pad)
- Includes huge levels up to 29×32 blocks in Mini Mode
- Includes 6 languages: English, German, Spanish, Swedish, French and Italian
- Save Battery support to save options, finished levels etc
Any feedback about the demo is appreciated and will help to release a polished final version.
Thanks to KR155E for the news!

The guys behind “Planet Virtual Boy” are having a coding competition for the good old Visual Boy. It’s pretty exotic, so it should hopefully attract a bunch of coders ;)
