Numchuck and the Conquest of Color is a platformer with a dynamic color palette. You play a magical, colorful forest creature, Numchuck, who awakens one day to find his entire world has been drained of color by the cold-hearted creatures of the north. Numchuck is tasked with color-changing his enemies by painting them with one swipe of his magical paintbrush tail, and eventually restoring color to his land. With each enemy you paint, and each fruit you collect, color is gradually restored do the monochrome world.

Further release notes from Eric:

Ok, so I’ve been sitting on a one-level game demo I developed (with the help of a very talented programmer, Tim Sorrels) in 2005, and I figured since the DSi was about to delete which did away with the GBA slot, I better go ahead and release it to the homebrew public while the format is still fairly relevant. 😉 Admittedly there are a few bugs and the difficulty is substantial for this level and the gameplay could use some work, so forgive me- this was my first attempt at game development! But hey, I’m proud of the end result 😉

Runes are little stones that have been used to look into the future since the dark ages. Each rune has it’s own name, and it’s own meaning. There are 25 runes – each was once a letter in an ancient Germanic alphabet. This program does all the reading of the stones for you. All you have to do is follow the messages that appear onscreen.

devkitARM release 25 updates newlib to 1.17.0, gcc to 4.3.3 and adds some minor fixes to the included tools.

The game was almost lost in cyber space and the download on the author page ( http://genergabasa.php0h.com/ ) is also not fixed yet. Luckily Gener has sent the archive of this game to us for integration into the PDRoms Archive, where it is available for everyone.
