kiswa is in need of motivation and has posted information about his new game “Jack Turtle” which is currently in development.

Story:
Without giving away too much… there is a scientist who runs an aquarium and he’s been messing with the animals. His dolphins turned out really well, so he starting genetic modification on some others. Well, the others took over and the worst of them is a whale. The whale has had all the sea turtle eggs stolen from the nearby beach so he can modify them genetically and create an army. One of the dolphins escaped and is helping the sea turtles get their eggs back. The turtles chose Jack Turtle to rescue them, and the dolphin gave him a weapon. Then butt-kicking will begin….

Game Stages:
Stage 1 – Beach to City
The first four levels will take Jack Turtle from the beach to the outskirts of the city.

Stage 2 – City to Aquarium
The next four levels will be Jack’s adventures on his way to the aquarium.

Stage 3 – Aquarium Outdoors
These four levels will be the parking lot and outdoor areas of the Aquarium as Jack nears his goal.

Stage 4 – Aquarium Indoors
Jack will have to travel through the interior of the aquarium on his way to face the evil whale that stole his family’s eggs.

Give him a hand so he gets enough motivation to bring us a new neat NDS homebrew game!
