Mankind’s oldest enemy, the decimal numbers 1 to 5 have launched another audacious attack and it’s up to you to stop them. They have one weakness – they self destruct when they are combined to make the number ten. Select numbers with the stylus and make tens to save the world.

How to play:
– Numbers have to be on the same horizontal line and add up to 10.
– All hope is lost when the numbers break through the top of the screen.

Release notes:

This should now highlight the numbers as you select them with the stylus so it should be clearer to see what is happening.

If features a bunch of nice 3D scenes, but nothing spectacular at all – still it’s enjoyable.

Fandian (previously known as Sonic) is the development name for ritz’s homebrew nintendo ds 3D game project. Some notable features include skeletal animation, static & dynamic point lights, shadow volumes, skyboxes, picking, gravity and object & environment collision detection. In the near future he will build the game logic, a.i., scripting and maybe an interactive 3D map builder for easy world creation and object & creature placement.

SaviorXTanren updated their mini-game collection “WarioWare Custom”.

Release notes:

Alright guys! HUUUUUUUUUGE UPDATE! So, I’ll start with the little stuff first and then move on to the really big, exciting stuff =D.

So, I’ve added in two new games and took out that “Touch The X’s” game, since it was pretty much the same thing as “Pop The Dots”. The two new games are “Kick The Football”, which uses the Stylus to make a slash on the touch screen to kick the football in that direction and “Build The Bridge”, which has you shift around pieces of a bridge to form a larger bridge to allow a car to pass over it.

In addition to these two new games, I have updated all of the other games for 3 levels of speed and 3 levels of difficulty modes. So, if you remember in the normal WarioWare games how there is varying speed and difficulty modes? Well, now they are in this one, for the 9 games that exist at least =P. Some of the difficulty modes are easier to spot than others, but every games has a shortened time limit and sped up music for the different speed changes.

Finally, the last and biggest update…*drum roll*…The first multi-player mode is up and running! This is a SINGLE DS multi-player mode, which is unique in itself. You only need one DS and up to 4 players can play. You simply pass the DS around when the appropriate player comes up, sorta of similar to how the Wii WarioWare multi-player games work. It’s got graphics, sound, the whole nine yards. Note, the graphics may not be up to cutting edge right now, everything that’s not the title screens and menus (which have been graciously done by James Garner and Kikaimaster), was made by me in Paint. =P

Automatic DLDI patching of downloaded NDS files from within zips no longer works. I’ll remove the option in the next release. I can no longer test patching, as my card’s firmware auto patches anyway. If this is a feature you really need… er.. sorry!
