Hexen 2 – Hammer of Thyrion v0.04 (Public Beta 1) (GP2x Game Port)

Release notes:

GP2X Port based upon the Hammer of Thyrion linux port of Hexen 2. Allows you to play hexen 2 demo and full games, should also support the “Portal of Praevus” expansion pack. Features: – As far as i can tell, the singleplayer is fully playable. – I’ve implemented some optimisations from PocketQuake as well as some of my own. Still requires some overclocking though. – Redesigned GP2X input system. – Supports Background midi music (if you have timidity installed). SFX are not supported, they conflict with SDL_mixer…. With no sound, an overclock of 275mhz & RAM timings ON i get about 11 – 15fps… i will try to improve this, but i reckon its smooth enough to be playable. Read the GP2X_Readme.txt for installation instructions and controls. You can also mess with the settings in the autoexec.cfg for performance/quality.

Jungle Monkey (Build 7) (A2600 Game)

Help Jungle Monkey go bananas by getting them!

Further description:
To jump, press up. To hang from a vine, once you’ve got hold of one, hold up. To climb up to the top of a vine (and stand on it), press up and fire. The goal is to collect as many bananas as you can without touching the slithering snakes that creep across the vines. Once you get 50 bananas, the snakes go faster, and if you get 100 bananas, the snakes move faster still. If you move off the side of the screen, you’ll reappear at the other side. Oh, and you get three lives. Once you lose all 3, your final score will appear at the title screen.

Tip on getting the highest score possible: Stay away from the edges unless a banana appears there. The edges of the screen is where the snakes reappear, and one might appear where you are and kill you. If a banana appears at an edge, wait until there is no snake in the immediate area to grab it.

Release notes:
Just for fun, I wondered what the game would look like in multisprite mode. What do you think? Should I keep working on this version or go back to the non-multisprite one?

You can now shoot the puck if it’s facing opposite from you (instead of letting the puck go.) I’m still having troubles with the walls, though.

Release notes:
Nothing much in this update, I just added an option to turn off the music at the title screen using the game select switch. Next on the list of things to do is add a flying enemy. It’ll have to be an Alien Greed bee-type enemy since the only sprite I have left is the ball. I’d like to keep this game at 4k, and I think I have about 600 bytes left, but maybe I’ll have to go at 8k, we’ll just wait and see about that.
As for SFX, I don’t know how I can have that and music at the same time, unless the music takes up only one channel and the SFX in the other. I’ll try to make another monkey graphic, also.
