Thom has released a new little touch screen puzzle based upon the picking demo found in the libnds examples.

Press A to start, then touch groups of shapes as they whizz around the screen. Select three of the same type to make them go away. Remove all shapes to move up a level. Game ends when time runs out.

Release notes:

I’ve uploaded a new version with better spacing and a better view of the objects. The picking in this version seems more or less spot on. I’ve also added a really annoying sound for good measure. ;D

Zombie NDS is about survival in a zombie invested environment.

Build your adrenaline up in order to survive, as the little armor you have, won’t last long and there’s no replacement available.

Every frag will give you a little adrenaline boost and some might even give you a real adrenaline kick!

As soon as you get an adrenaline overdose (adrenaline level above 100), there’s a chance, that a frag will give you a rush. Then you can shoot up to three clips worth of ammunition without reloading – if available, two clips are instantly loaded from your inventory into your weapon.

Remeber, that your adrenaline overdose won’t last long, as your body will decrese it back to a healthy level!

This game is currently in demo stage!
