ant512 comes up with a remake of “Earth Shaker“, a “Boulder Dash” like game, originally released on ZX Spectrum in 1990.
Changes:
This one adds in a feature from the original game that I completely missed – the ability to touch blocks adjacent to the player without moving into that space. The original game required you to press fire and a direction but, as the DS has more buttons, I’ve used the X, Y, A and B buttons instead. For example, start a new game at the first level and press X. The soil block above the player is removed but the player sprite does not move. The same happens with the soil block below if you press B.
This functionality is essential to get through the game (try level 9 – “Internal Reactor Inc” without using the new buttons), so I can’t believe I forgot to put it in. The button to bring up the map is now Select.
The full changelog follows:
– Added poke functionality to touch blocks without moving;
– Added animation when collecting beans;
– Added delay when teleporting;
– Various refactoring.

X-Moto is not a race game, but a challenging and time stealing platform game to test your skills! When you try for the first time, the bike will feel like a wild horse, nearly impossible to control. But in this presumed weakness lies the real strength of X-Moto. Because you have to deal with a physics engine, you first need to learn how to control your bike.

Chroma is an abstract puzzle game. A variety of colourful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet gradually becoming difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds.
