chongtin updated his early build of his “Puyo Puyo” clone for Nintendo DS.

Umexed is developing a PowerOFF application that runs when you hold the power button on your Blackstone or Xperia1 device.

atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

So basically is what you’re saying is you want the enemy to be smarter? I redid the enemy logic for level 1 so the enemy is chasing you instead of moving randomly. The speed may seem slow at first, but IMO, you’ll need the enemy to move this slow so you can move through the more maze-y screens.

Multiple:Option released “The Search Master – Metal Gear Solid Edition” for Nintendo DS.

Quote:

Get ready for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Touch for iPhone with Multiple:Option’s latest effort – The Search Master: Metal Gear Solid Edition. Look for things, touch them, get points! Strangely addictive amongst friends for 5 minutes or so as you try to beat each other’s score.

Another B-side from me, following The Blackjack of Haruhi Suzumiya. Something quick and dirty for the MGS fans who like tile searching 🙂
